Specific permissions required for JIRA 4.4 installations connected to Oracle databases

GreenHopper 5.8 makes use of JIRA's ActiveObjects plugin, which has specific requirements when interacting with Oracle databases.

Hence, when GreenHopper 5.8 (or later) is used with a JIRA 4.4 (or later) installation connected to an Oracle database, the database user account (through which JIRA connects to Oracle) must have the create sequence and create trigger Oracle database permissions.

Please ensure these permissions have been granted before attempting to upgrade GreenHopper from 5.7 to 5.8. See the Configure Oracle in the Connecting JIRA to Oracle documentation for details on granting these permissions.

Re-index and re-start required

Please re-index and re-start JIRA after ugrading to GreenHopper 5.8.6 from GreenHopper 5.7.x or earlier.
