Hi Yuriy,

You are running into a known bug, JRASERVER-40971 - MSSQL Selection in config.sh Broken (CLI)

There is a workaround in the bug report, referencing this documentation: Manually configuring JIRA with MS-SQL Server:

Manual Configuration

1. Locate the dbconfig.xml file at the root of your JIRA Home Directory.
   • If this file does not exist, create the file, copy and paste the example XML code ( shown below ) into this file.
2. Update the file, as described in the Database connection fields section below. Escape any '&' characters by adding 'amp;' to the end of each one.
   • Note, the <database-type/> element must specify your type of database, e.g. mssql. If you forget to do this and you start JIRA, your database tables may be created incorrectly. See Incorrect database type specified if this happens to you.
3. Save the file and restart JIRA.

Best regards,
Brian
