Analysis of configuration changes to Jira Cloud

After analyzing the projects that will be migrated, Cloud Migration Tool presents users with a detailed report of the changes that will be introduced. The analysis process checks all the configuration elements and issues of the projects in the migration scope. Not only that, the app allows you to make transformations to the configuration in the migration scope before moving them to the cloud.

Projects being migrated

Cloud Migration Tool is able to add a source project as а new one to the destination site. Also, it can migrate the source project configuration and issues to an existing destination project that doesn’t contain issues.

In case the destination project mapped to the source project contains issues, you’ll see an error like the one in the screenshot below:

Make changes to the source configuration in the migration & resolve errors

The analysis phase of the migration does not only report the changes required to blend the source and destination configurations, but it also allows you to make changes to the configuration before migrating it.

...

• Inline transformations of projects and some configuration element types. Read more about these transformations.

• Resolve action suggested for some of the errors detected by the analysis. Read more about this action.

• Download mapping file with the information on how the source projects, configuration elements, and users will be migrated to Jira Cloud. For example, if a new configuration element will be created or an existing one will be updated on the cloud (the so-called mappings between the source and destination elements). This includes the mappings between the source and destination configuration elements.

• Customize mapping - allows you to apply transformation to projects, configuration elements, and users in the migration scope, including the mappings between source and destination configuration elements.
