It is the procedure to follow when you have to migrate a JIRA Instance with data of Kaamelot or Minyaa.
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 :
- Using the same Database.
- Using a new Database.
You will have to choose one of these two variants based on your server and database settings.

Minyaa Release Note to see if an uninstallation is required before a new installation.

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

(You XML Backup contains data stored by Minyaa, and JIRA is not able to omport them until Minyaa is enabled).
