titleRequired steps to migrate

Before migrating from Xray Server/DC to Cloud be sure you've completed the steps recommended:

  • Have a valid License for Xray
  • Ensure that the Xray Cloud is properly installed. Before proceeding, make sure that Xray Cloud is correctly installed in your Jira Cloud instance. Please access Jira Cloud Admin, Apps, and Manage your Apps to check. On the left-hand side, look for Health Check and check if the Xray is working as expected. It should be like the example below:
    Health checkImage Added

    Please note
    : If your Jira Cloud instance has no projects, the Health Check might show that some Xray custom fields are missing. This is expected behavior. These fields will be automatically created once a project is added or during a data migration.
  • Enable Sub-Task in Jira Cloud
  • Issue Types names are the same both on Server and Cloud
  • Requirement ↔ Test Link must match both on Server and Cloud

  • Review Issue Security applied to Xray Issues.
  • Xray Custom Fields must be visible on Test Execution Issue Screens Scheme
  • Run the pre-flight checks
