Migrating from Jira Server/Data Center to Jira Cloud

JSU for Jira Cloud is approved for Atlassian Government Cloud (AGC). AGC is an Atlassian cloud environment for US government agencies, currently an EAP. If you are migrating to AGC for Jira, you can continue to use JSU for all code-free automation needs.
AGC is supported by the Jira Cloud Migration Assistant (JCMA).

If you use JSU Server/Data Center and are planning a migration to Jira Cloud, you can use Atlassian’s JCMA or Appfire’s Configuration Manager for Jira (CMJ) Cloud Migration Tool to migrate most of your JSU workflow configurations.

We recommend that you test your migration on a staging Cloud instance so you can become familiar with the results before proceeding with a migration of your Server or Data Center app data to your production Cloud instance. You can use a free trial of CMJ on a staging instance to determine which tool works best for your needs.

To learn more about migrating your JSU app and its workflow rules from Jira Server to Jira Cloud, see the Jira Cloud Migration Assistant page. If you use Configuration Manager for Jira, see the Configuration Manager for Jira page.

Before proceeding with a migration, review our feature comparison tables to understand the differences between our Cloud and Server/Data Center apps. We also note differences between Jira Server and Jira Cloud that must be considered to help resolve any potential errors.

Feature summary

Post functions	All the post functions we offer on Jira Server/Data Center are also available on Jira Cloud.
Preconditions for post functions	All the preconditions we offer for Jira Server are also available on Cloud. Note that preconditions are no longer separate from post functions; they are now part of the post function. See Workflow Preconditions for more information.
Conditions	Due to technical limitations, JSU for Jira Cloud provides only the User Is In Any Users condition. Most conditions provided in JSU for Jira Server/Data Center are now integrated and maintained by Atlassian for Jira Cloud. The Status Changed and JQL conditions are not supported in Jira Cloud.
Validators	All validators provided in JSU for Jira Server/Data Center are supported by Atlassian and are integrated with Jira Cloud.
Custom Fields	Due to technical limitations, the three custom fields we provide in JSU for Jira Server (Location, Location Select, and Directions) are not available on JSU for Jira Cloud.
Project Variables	JSU for Jira Server/Data Center provides functionality to store variables per project, which can then be used in workflow post functions. This feature is not currently supported on Jira Cloud; it's in the roadmap, and we will let you know as soon as it's available.
