Cause

interruptThreadThreshold="120" interrupting thread as defined in server.xml

1 2 3 4 5 6 Resource name="UserTransaction" auth="Container" type="javax.transaction.UserTransaction"                                   factory="org.objectweb.jotm.UserTransactionFactory" jotm.timeout="60"/>                         <Manager pathname=""/>                         <JarScanner scanManifest="false"/>                         <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.StuckThreadDetectionValve" threshold="120" interruptThreadThreshold="120" />                     </Context>"

Solution

  1. Stop Jira Service.

  2. Edit "server.xml" file and increase interruptThreadThreshold value to a higher value or remove interruptThreadThreshold parameter from server.xml.

  3. Restart Jira service.

  4. Associate workflow to new issue type
