Jira Compatibility
See the Arsenale Dataplane Version History page on Atlassian Marketplace to find the most recent version of Dataplane that is compatible with your Jira version.
Jira Data Center
Jira Data Center is Atlassian's clustered, multiple-node high-availability solution for enterprise Jira customers.
The following versions of Arsenale Dataplane are compatible with clustered Jira environments.
Jira Clustering Type | Compatible Dataplane Versions |
|---|---|
| Jira Data Center | 1.9.0 & newer |
Jira Cloud
Arsenale Dataplane does not support Jira Cloud
If you are a current user of Jira Cloud and you wish to use Arsenale Dataplane without the hassle of hosting Jira yourself, one option is to move your Jira installation to the SWIFT service by Seibert Media, which gives you a fully-hosted Jira installation that permits you to install any app, including Arsenale Dataplane, with a setup and free trial process that takes only minutes.
Java Compatibility
Dataplane's Java compatibility requirements largely mirror those of Atlassian Jira:
| Jira Version | Supported Java Versions |
|---|---|
| 8.3+ | Oracle JDK 8, OpenJDK 8, Oracle JDK 11, OpenJDK 11 |
| 8.2 - 8.2.x | Oracle JDK 8, OpenJDK 8, Oracle JDK 11 |
| 8.0 - 8.1.x | Oracle JDK 8, OpenJDK 8 |
| 7.13.x | Oracle JDK 8, OpenJDK 8 |
| 7.6.11+ (ER) | Oracle JDK 8, OpenJDK 8 |
| 7.0 - 7.12.x | Oracle JDK 8 |
Database Compatibility
Dataplane's database requirements generally parallel the database requirements for Jira 7.0+.
Before installing Arsenale Dataplane, check your Jira database server against the following list of requirements and recommendations. Some database servers have specific installation requirements that may be different from your current configuration.
Database | Supported Versions | Additional Recommendations and Requirements |
|---|---|---|
MySQL | 5.1+ | Performance tuning of your my.cnf file is strongly recommended but not required. We also recommend granting certain specific privileges to your MySQL database user. All of these changes are optional and Dataplane will function without any additional configuration, but on moderate-to-large Jira installations, failure to perform this MySQL tuning may cause some reports to run very slowly. See MySQL Database Performance Tuning for details. |
PostgreSQL | 8.2+ | No special configuration is needed. PostgreSQL 9.1 or higher is recommended (but not required) for optimal performance. |
Oracle | 11g+ | No special configuration is needed. |
MS SQL Server | 2008, 2008 R2, 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2017 | No special configuration is needed. |
H2 and/or HSQL | not supported | Jira's built-in H2 and HSQLDB—bundled with Jira for evaluation purposes only—are not supported. You must switch to a production database before you will be able to use Dataplane. |
Database Sizing
Arsenale Dataplane stores all its data in the same database used by Jira.
Depending on the type of Jira issues you have, Arsenale Dataplane's data storage could potentially double your Jira database size or more.
We recommend checking your database server to ensure that you have sufficient space available before installing Dataplane and running the Dataplane indexer.
