Manual migration path

To migrate Issue History for Jira from Jira Data Center to Jira Cloud, transfer all selected projects and issues, ensuring that comments, history, and fields are included in the migration.


Once the migration is complete, you must manually configure Issue History for Jira settings in Jira Cloud. This guide provides step-by-step instructions for migrating Issue History for Jira from the Data Center to Cloud.

Prerequisites

Before starting the migration process, ensure you have:

  • Administrator access to both Jira Data Center and Jira Cloud.

  • Issue History for Jira installed on your Jira Cloud instance.

  • A backup of your Jira Data Center instance.

  • A list of Issue History configurations that need to be migrated.

What to store – create new before the migration:

  • Presets (Saved View configurations).

  • Report Scheduler settings.

  • Permissions settings.
