Upgrading to Xray 3.2.0
From Xray 3.2.0
...
, the amount of information indexed by Jira's Lucene framework has increased. In order to not increase the index time, Xray is now pre-calculating this data so when re-indexing there is less calculation to be done.
Whenever installing Xray 3.2.0 the first time, this implies that an upgrade task must run to pre-calculate historical data. This action is a one time action and it will run in the background, so that Xray is still available during upgrade. However, this process may be long and heavy depending on the Jira instance size and thus we recommend to perform the upgrade at off peak times.
In order to manage this calculation, Xray provides a panel inside "Custom Field" preferences page from where you can stop, start and follow progress of it.
...
After installing version 3.2.0 of Xray, a re-index operation of your Jira instance is required so that the internal data becomes searchable and usable by Xray.

Xray v3.1 introduces the ability to configure and rename the issue link (e.g. "Tests") used for relating Tests with requirements. Therefore if you change it, including the outward and inward descriptions, if you decide to rollback to then Xray will create the "Tests" issue link with the default outward and inward descriptions (i.e. "tests" and "tested by", respectively). You may overcome this, by renaming the issue link to its defaults before downgrading. |

Downgrading from Xray 3.2.x implies that you must perform a re-index afterwards. This is because from Xray 3.2.0 onwards, the content and format of what Xray indexes has changed.

Performance improvementsContinuing our previous and on-going work, we're doing some architectual changes that will provide benefits across several different areas in future versions. Some of this improvements have been addressed in previous v3.1.x releases and v3.2.0 adds some more, including the calculation of the Test Plans overall status/progress bar, global and per-folder (in the Board). The work we've done so far will allow us to provide additional improvements on several areas, which we'll be doing gradually. Improving performance is an on-going effort, so expect additional enhancements to come in future versions. |
