Minyaa's Installation with Import of XML Backup with Kaamelot Data

What is it?

It is the procedure to follow when you have to migrate a JIRA Instance with Kaamelot to a JIRA Instance with Minyaa

Here, we present an installation of Minyaa 1.3.2 for JIRA 4.0.

Since the Kaamelot installation was done by manually replacing JSPs and Properties, a new JIRA installation will have to be done.



As Atlassian recommends performing a XML Backup for any Upgrade operation, two variants of Minyaa installation procedure are available :

  1. Using the same Database.
  2. Using a new Database.
You will have to choose one of these two variants based on your server and database settings.

Stop JIRA
Perform a fresh installation of JIRA using the appropriate deployment method.

In both cases, you will have to configure JIRA to use your previous Database
During the 1st Start, if you migrate to a higher release of JIRA, JIRA will perform the following tasks :
  1. Database upgrade (Modifications in Database model),
  2. Application upgrade (JIRA Upgrade Tasks are executed).
Do not be worried by warnings linked Kaamelot tables that appear in your Log file ...
