Who can use this information
This page contains information for Jira admins who want to move app configuration and data from a Jira Server/Data Center instance to a Jira Cloud site.
If you’re an app vendor or developer who wants to allow their users to move app configuration and data from a Jira Server/Data Center instance to a Jira Cloud site, visit the App Integrations page.
Integration between apps and Configuration Manager for Jira for server-to-cloud migrations
Configuration Manager for Jira (CMJ) offers App Integrations functionality to other Jira apps. This functionality has two main use cases for integration:
Integration for server-to-server app migration. It allows admins to move their server app’s configuration and data between Jira Server/Data Center instances using Configuration Manager for Jira (CMJ).
Integration for server-to-cloud app migration. It allows admins to move their app’s data from a Jira Server/Data Center instance to a Jira Cloud site using the Cloud Migration Tool and Configuration Manager for Jira (CMJ) Cloud pair.
In each of these use cases, CMJ provides endpoints, which apps can use to integrate. For the server-to-cloud migration use case, right now, there is one endpoint available - Workflows. This means when an app is integrated with CMJ using that endpoint, its workflow elements (conditions, validators, and post-functions) can be migrated to Jira Cloud.
We are working on adding other endpoints for migrating custom fields, project configurations, dashboards, issue data, etc., in the future.
Check the apps that already have integration with CMJ for server-to-cloud migrations.
Migrate an app’s workflow elements from Jira Server/Data Center to Cloud
Cloud Migration Tool migrates app workflow elements from Jira Server/Data Center to Cloud if they are:
coming from an app integrated with CMJ using the Workflow endpoint, and,
associated with the projects added to the migration scope.
In this case, the app’s workflow elements are automatically included, and you don’t need to choose them explicitly during the migration creation.
Example
You start a migration and add a project that has a workflow condition created using an app integrated with CMJ. The condition will automatically be moved to the Cloud during the migration.
Prerequisites for migrating apps to Jira Cloud
Server apps must have integration with CMJ for server-to-cloud migrations using the available endpoints.
Check the apps already integrated with CMJ for server-to-cloud migrations.Before starting a migration, make sure you have all the necessary apps installed on your Jira Cloud site. The migration will fail if an app’s data is being migrated, but the app is not present on the destination.
