Frequently Asked Questions
Why uninstallation is so long !
Why Minyaa need so much time to peform its uninstallation ?
Minyaa is not a "plug and play" plugin ! Since certain of its extension needs modifications in JIRA, it come with an installation/uninstallation mechanism.
The uninstallation procedure is very long, with no comparison with the installation, because extension of its plugins are disable one by one,
and for each, JIRA refresh its internal component.
Why registration may be also more long !
After my Minyaa evaluation, I bought Minyaa for only one module (Time or Workflow), why the registration is so long.
When Minyaa has been installed with the Trial License, the Full Edition has been installed.
When the Final License is registered, Minyaa checks which Modules are allowed by the License.
If the new License contains less module than currently registered License,. Minyaa performs an unistallation and a re-installation.
In such cases, registration is long due to
uninstallation processus.
