What to know when migrating ProForma Server to Cloud

Support for ProForma Server ends on February 15 2024 PT
Users with an existing license of the Marketplace app version of ProForma can continue to renew and use until this end of life date. Learn more about Server end of support.

You are now able to migrate all ProForma (Forms) data from Jira Service Management Server or Data Center to Jira Service Management Cloud. With end of support for ProForma Server approaching, the Atlassian Migration Program can assist in the move over to Cloud so you can continue to use your exisiting forms along with additional features native to Cloud. Learn about the migration progress to help you get started.

Before you begin the migration process, understand the already known cases that may occur following migration to best prepare your migrating ProForma Server or Data Centre projects accordingly.

What will cause migration to fail?

Forms using linked Jira fields that aren’t added to issue screens - any Jira fields linked in your ProForma Forms must be added to at least one issue screen in your project, not just the project context. Not doing so prevents Jira fields migrating with the project and will result in a failed migration. This may also cause a failed core project migration if these forms were previously submitted resulting in Jira fields getting added to the issue.

Forms that use linked Priority fields - only priority values currently or previously assigned on an issue can be migrated, however ProForma requires all priority values to be available. This may cause the migration to fail if any forms use field linked to the Priority field.

What may be affected after migration?

Deleted users can’t be migrated - deleted users mentioned in a submitted form’s response will instead display as ‘Unknown’.

Some users may be unavailable - selecting the option ‘Only users and groups related to the select projects’ before migrating will cause any users not associated with the migrating project to display as ‘Unknown’. To migrate all users across to Cloud, select the option ‘All users and groups from the Jira directory’.

What isn’t supported and will need to be reconfigured?

Data Connection Credentials - the configured authentication credentials for any data connections in Server. Learn about creating and testing data connections.

Automation - ProForma automation will need to be reconfigured using Cloud’s new automation features. Learn more about automation in Cloud.
