Summary
Admin sees errors on the logs when attempting to enable the Jira Cloud Migration Assistant plugin or the errors can be found during startup where the plugin fails to get enable.
Plugin Marketplace link for reference:
Environment
9.4.6
May also be seen on other versions - the key factor is not having a compatible JSM version.
Diagnosis
On the logs there will be several references to packages related to Jira Service Management, formerly known as Jira Service Desk (jsd).
On Jira, go to Administration (⚙ icon) > Applications > Versions & licenses and you may see that your installed version of Jira Service Management is not compatible with your current version of Jira Software.
If your version is already compatible, please, review the contents of your <installed_plugins> directory as described on this article as you may have older version of JSM impacting startup.

An incompatible version of Jira Service Management is installed or and older version is still on <installed_plugins> directory causing conflicts on startup due to missing dependencies.
Solution
If you have an incompatible version of JSM:
- On Jira, go to Administration (⚙ icon) > Applications > Versions & licenses.
- If you do not have the compatible version you may upgrade on the Versions & licenses or find the correct version here for download.
- https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1213632/jira-service-management/version-history
- Click on Upload an application, then provide the following URL for Jira Service Management version that is compatible.
- Click on Upload. It can take a few minutes to upload and install the new version of this app.
- After this process finishes, please go to Administration (⚙ icon) > Manage apps, then click on Manage apps again in the left menu.
- Find the Cloud Migration Assistant app and try enabling it again.
- If it still fails to enable, you may need to restart your instance (rolling restart will do on Data Center) so you get a clean startup.
If you have .jar for older versions of JSM on installed_plugins
You may either delete the directory entirely and restart Jira followed by manually installing all plugins you had before or you may follow the steps for the article below to remove the JSM related jars:
