With the recent announcement from Atlassian regarding the end of life of Jira server,  clients might consider either upgrading to Jira Data Center or migrating to Jira Cloud.

This page describes the migration path that clients can follow in order to migrate the Xray data from Jira Server / Data Center to Jira Cloud.

Jira Cloud Migration Assistant

Currently, Xray does not yet provide an integration with the Jira Cloud Migration Assistant. We plan to provide this integration until April 2021.

Xray Cloud Migration Scripts

Although there isn't support for the Jira Cloud Migration Assistant, the Xray team has created some scripts that can you migrate even before we add support for this assistant.

These scripts are using the Xray and Jira REST APIs to fetch the Xray information from Xray Server/DC, and then import this information into Xray Cloud.

There is a specific order in which these scrips must be executed.

The scripts will not create new issues in Jira Cloud. The Xray issues must have already been migrated. The scripts will fill the gaps, namely:

• Test specifications
• Test Repository folders
• Relations between Xray issues/entities, e.g. Tests in Test Plans, Tests in Test Sets, Preconditions, etc.
• Test Runs
