KIWI KIWI™ offers you the possibility to move complex workflows from a JIRA Jira system to another just with the click of your mouse.
In order to do a To complete import, your the first (and mandatory) step is to export a workflow.
This can be done from the Export page that is accessible from the main KIWI page, which can be found in the Administration view, Add-ons-> KIWI.
Here you will find a combo-box from which you can select the workflow you want to export:
- Go to Jira Administration > Add-ons > KIWI™
- Go to the Export page
3. Select the workflow you want to export from a combo-box. The page informs, you are about to export a Jira Workflow with all its dependencies (associated statuses, issue types, custom fields and screens).
| Info | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
The workflow "The default JIRA Jira workflow" can not be exported because this is a read only workflow. |
As the description on the page informs, you are about to export a JIRA Workflow with all its dependencies (associated statuses, issue types, custom fields and screens).
You can add to your exported workflow a list of pre-import and post-import sil files that will be executed on the Import Jira instance, before (the pre-import files) or after ( the post-import files) executing the main import is executed. You definitely know about sil script files if you are using our JJUPIN plugin. SIL Power Scripts™ for Jira app. SIL™, or Simple Issue LanguageLanguage™ is very easy to learn yet powerful and extensible: it's a Java-like language independent of the JIRA with no dependence on Jira version, offering power through simplicity and flexibility.
In order to To add a pre-import file, press :
- Click the
...
- Add Pre-Import File

...
- kiwi™ file when

...
- If there there is no sil script file in the
...
- Kiwi™ home folder(PATH_TO_JIRA_HOME/kepler/kiwi), the pop-up will show a 'No script file' error message:

...
- button and the same procedure for adding a post-import sil file
...

| NOTE: if you are using our JJUPIN plugin and Power Scripts™ for Jira app and you have created SIL SIL™ scripts (validators, conditions or post - functions) on the transitions of the exported workflow, these SIL SIL™ scripts will be exported too. |

5. You'll see a SUCCESS message on the screen. The exported file can be found in the

KIWI™ home folder (this can be found at "PATH_TO_JIRA_HOME/kepler/kiwi"). Here you will find a new zip file named after your exported workflow(the name is a concatenation of the exported workflow name, the current date in the format yyyyMMddHHmm and .kwi) for instance, Workflowfortest_201310071619.kwi.zip is the file obtained by exporting the workflow Workflowfortest at local time 07.10.2013, 16:19.
