How to merge two scrum boards using jql

project = HMP AND (component != NIC OR component is EMPTY) AND issuetype not in (Initiative) ORDER BY Rank ASC

project = HMP AND component = NIC AND issuetype not in (Initiative) ORDER BY Rank ASC

If you  are  asking how to merge those two JQL queries into one such that it  results in the summation of both then it seems to me that the following JQL would achieve the goal.

project = HMP AND issuetype != Initiative ORDER BY Rank ASC

Thank you. So i have two scrum boards and was asked to merge them into one. 
i copied jql from board 1 and jql from board 2. I created a new scrum board but when i copy paste both jql, it gives me error and does not show me data from both boards. The query i posted above are the two queries for two boards

Copying JQL is not going to help you.  You need to create a new query that selects everything you want to see on the new board.

Look more closely at the two queries, they look to me that they are directly conflicting (component = NIC and component != NIC is going to exclude every issue that has a component set).

You need to create a query that will select everything that you want to see on the new ("merged") board, and without knowing what you're trying to do, all we can tell you is that the JQL Jack gave you is probably the JQL you need.

+1 for Nic's reply... you don't "merges" two boards you create a new board that captures the issues of the current two boards.
