Minyaa's License Policies Management

Overview

Some features provided by Minyaa are requiring modifications or installation of files in JIRA folder :

  • Some added JSP Files, generaly used for inclusion in existing JIRA''s JSP files (Plugin Scheme, Workflow Global Transition, ...)
  • Some modified JSP Files in order to append some new behaviours (Brose Task Custom Permission, Edit Worklog for team''s members)


Since Minya 2.2, some files are not modified :
  • OFBiz XML files is NO MORE MODIFIED for adding new entities in JIRA Database Model,
  • Velocity properties file is NO MORE MODIFIED for providing new macros for Workload Reports,
When your Trial license expired, you will have to acquire Minyaa or uninstall it.

Until Minyaa 1.6, the uninstallation was automatically launched in background.
Since many users have experienced troubles with a such processus, it have been decided to change the License Policy Management ...
