Page History
Jira Datacenter supports archiving of issues and projects since v8.1. By archiving issues, Jira will remove them from the indexes. The archived issues will still be accessible in read-only mode, however, they will not appear in Jira searches. This enhances Jira performance because Jira stores less data.
This page This Page describes the known impact and limitations of archiving issues in Xray.
| Info |
|---|
We have plans to support the Jira archiving feature and even extend this feature so that Xray issues can be archived without some of the undesirable side effects that are described on this page. A good use case for archiving Xray issues, will be to archive old Test Executions, especially if continuous integration processes keep importing new execution results into Xray on a daily basis. This feature is on our Roadmap. |
For more information on archiving issues please visit JIRA documentation.
