Important migration tasks during test and after production
要約
Discover what are the most important tasks to be done during your Jira and Confluence migration journey.
概要
When migrating Jira or Confluence (Server, Data Center, Cloud) to the Atlassian Cloud, there are a number of migration tasks that may need to be completed to avoid unwanted scenarios and issues in the cloud site.
Whether the task has to be done depends on the phase. The test phase refers to the testing done before the production migration when issues can more easily be caught and resolved. The post-migration phase refers to after the production migration is completed. It's often more difficult to resolve issues during this phase, so we always recommend testing your migration thoroughly before the final production migration.
The scenarios are divided into post-migration and test phases. They're also labeled with being applicable to Jira or Confluence.
Sections on this page:
If you've already performed the production migration, review: Post-migration phase
If you're still testing, review: Test phase

|
Jira | Option 1: REST API(only works for managed
