Migration path from JIRA ondemand to JIRA download

[Hans-Hermann Hunfeld]

Today we tried to import issue data from our JIRA ondemand to JIRA 5.1.1 installation. The data was created by the export function in JIRA ondemand, the handling was done as described in the JIRA documentation (https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Restoring+Data).

Unfortunately we get an error message after starting the xml import process: "This data appears to be from an older version of JIRA. Please upgrade the data and try again. The current version of JIRA is at build number '772', but the supplied backup file was for build number '801'."

Any idea what we can do?

Thanks & best regards,

Hans-Hermann

Hi Hans-Hermann,

Feel free to check this KB about it: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/ONDEMANDKB/JIRA+OnDemand+export+does+not+import+into+standalone+JIRA

With this manual we could import our ondemand backup (v801) into the hosted version (v772). Now checking if everything is running smooth, but first look was pretty good...

Thanks!

Looks like someone deleted that KB entry - if anyone is facing a similar issue there is a similar page: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/ONDEMANDKB/Importing+a+Project+from+JIRA+OnDemand+Backup+to+JIRA+Standalone+Edition+Fails+due+to+Newer+Version
