Best practice to change from WAR to Bin installation
We will suggest to perform the following steps (for the migration in same server):
- Backup the JIRA Home Directory (include plugins, attachments, and data).
- Backup the Data:
- Export an XML backup via the JIRA Backup UI.
- Backup the database.
- Shutdown JIRA WAR.
- Install a new JIRA Bin on your server.
- Run the JIRA Configuration Tool.
- Configure JIRA to use the backup JIRA Home Directory.
- Configure JIRA to use the current database.
- Start JIRA.
If you plan to do the migration on another server, please refer to our Migrating JIRA to Another Server article.
We recommend to test these changes in a Staging Environment.
