Overview

Botron Configuration Manager for Jira is a powerful app that allows Jira administrators to transfer configuration data between different Jira Server and DC instances. Create on Transition for Jira is integrated with Configuration Manager making it easy to move data between instances. This integration enables administrators to bundle the global app configurations and workflow post function configurations with configurations with Configuration manager snapshots in the source instance and restore these snapshots while importing them into the target instance.

Note

  • Currently, note that the Merge Configuration deployment mode (on the first page of configuration wizard) is not supported while deploying the configuration snapshot for global app configuration data.

  • It is recommended to verify and test the app configuration data migration in a staging environment before deploying it in production.

  • If you do not intend to migrate Create on Transition workflow data, you must disable the cot-workflow-participant-handler module in the Manage apps page.
