Run pre-migration checks, review, and run a Jira migration

After you create a migration plan, the Jira Cloud Migration Assistant runs a set of pre-migration checks to make sure your data can be migrated to cloud.

It checks that, for example:

• Cloud products are installed in the destination site

• Users and customers have unique and valid email addresses

• You don’t exceed your user or storage limit

Run pre-migration checks

To run pre-migration checks:

• Progress through your migration plan until you reach the Pre-migration checks screen

• View the details of your migration plan from the Migrations dashboard

The pre-migration checks are divided into the following groups:

• System

• Users and groups

• Customers

• Projects

• Cross-project boards and filters

• Advanced Roadmaps plans

• Apps

  • App vendor checks

You can expand each check to see information on how to fix the related problems.

Review your migration

After you’ve reviewed and fixed the checks, you can proceed to reviewing your migration.

To review your migration:

• Progress through your migration plan until you reach the Review migration screen

• View the details of your migration plan from the Migrations dashboard

When reviewing the migration, it’s useful to download the pre-migration report. It shows problems that require your attention, but also provides many details on the data that you’re migrating.

Run or save your migration

After you reviewed the details of your migration, you can run or save it. In both cases, it will be saved to the dashboard where you can see the details and monitor the progress if you decided to run it.

• To run your migration, select Run.

• To save your migration for later, select Save.

You’ll be moved to the Migrations dashboard where you can see your migration and monitor the progress.
