Before you start
Make sure you are running JMWE for Server/Data Center version 7.2.0 or later.
Review the Feature comparison between JMWE for Jira Data Center/Server and JMWE for Jira Cloud.
Read and follow the instructions in Atlassian’s documentation on Jira Cloud Migration Assistant (JCMA).
Please note:
Currently, Shared actions, Event-based actions, and Scheduled actions are migrated, but due to some feature differences, it is highly recommended that you verify these actions after migration.
Any JMWE conditions, validators, and/or post-functions where you employed Groovy scripting will throw errors and will need to be updated with either Jira expressions or Nunjucks expressions/scripts.
Because Jira Cloud runs post-functions after a transition completes, there are no error handling capabilities in Jira Cloud to prevent transitions from completing. Post-functions that include error handling in your Server/DC instance will display warnings on the Post-migration page.
The Return to Previous Status post-function is not migrated from Server as there is no equivalent on the Cloud version. JCMA will report this in the logs on the server side during migration.
