What is the detailed result of your migration?
Since Jira DC and Jira Cloud don't map one-to-one and the JWT DC features differ from the JWT Cloud features, the rules cannot be migrated one-to-one to JWT Cloud. The JWT Migration log shows an overview of the migration result as well as detailed messages of what has been changed in the workflow rules or what will lead to errors in the execution and has to be fixed beforehand. You can edit the rules directly in the detailed view for each workflow rule.
To view the full migration log, you need to be a Jira product administrator.
Location
Being logged in as a Jira administrator, you can find the migration log in the central app configuration located in the Jira administration interface. The Migration log (JWT) link is placed within the JIRA WORKFLOW TOOLBOX section below our links for the Audit log (JWT) as well as for Remote actions (JWT).
Main view
The main view provides information about the status of the migration on a workflow level.
You can select a migration by its name at the top of the page. The youngest completed migration is always pre-selected (1). The section below provides meta-information about the selected migration. Besides a timestamp, meta information about the ratio of the migrated workflow rules is shown (2).
Each line shows the main information about one workflow rule (3):
All columns can be filtered.
Rule migration details
The Show more button leads you to the detailed migration information of the respective workflow rule and is described below.
The Overview tab presents all details of the rule, starting with the workflow and transition names as context and the JWT DC and JWT Cloud rule name, which may differ as described above. In addition, the Jira Cloud workflow rule ID is displayed (1). This ID is useful when trying to find this rule in the view of a workflow transition where all post functions (and respectively conditions and validators) are listed. If you have multiple rules with the same name, e.g. Send email, the ID will help you find the corresponding rule. Please note, that the ID can be found by expanding the view of a rule in the workflow transition view.
The table shows all feedback with helpful messages which has been found during the migration.
- Location - identification of the specific place in the DC configuration (Please note that migrating conditions and validators may result in translating them as expressions on the cloud side. This can lead to multiple messages, but just one expression to handle.)
- Message - actual message/feedback provided by the migration tool
The messages can be filtered by Status, Parameter and Message.
The selected rule can be marked as resolved directly by clicking the Mark as resolved button (2). The latter will also mark the rule as Resolved on the Main view.
A Jira administrator has the possibility to update the configuration of a migrated rule via:
- Fix button in the Main view
- Switching to the Edit workflow rule tab
The Edit workflow rule tab provides the default JWTC Edit Rule Screen (1). Saving the configuration of the selected rule on this screen results in immediately saving it without creating a draft for a workflow (2). Jira administrator can also opt for setting the "resolve" status of the selected rule (3).
A migrated rule can be deleted from the workflow using the standard Jira Software interface: Settings -> Issues -> Workflows -> Edit Workflow -> Transition.
A rule cannot be edited or updated once deleted via Jira Software UI.
Example
In order to show typical examples for the messages, we present how dedicated parts of the JWT DC configuration of a Create issue post function are migrated and what is shown in the detailed view afte the migration.
