Migrate to Cloud

General information

As of Apr 23, 2024, Atlassian does not yet provide an automated migration path for Cloud apps built with Atlassian Forge (such as Agile Hive; https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/). Automated migration paths are only available for apps built with Atlassian Connect. For the latest information on automated migration paths for Forge apps please see https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/MIG-771.

Application vendors are required to set up an application migration path distinct from the Cloud Migration Assistant. This applies to any custom data structures associated with a server app that are intended for migration to the Cloud. It's important to note that basic Jira data will be transferred for all apps as part of the overall Jira system migration process.

Scope of migration path for Agile Hive

For Agile Hive Data Center (as well as Agile Hive Server) there are several data structures that cannot be migrated automatically using JCMA (Jira Cloud Migration Assistant) yet. Those include:

• Project hierarchy

• Issue Hierarchy Links

• PI & Iteration information

• Agile Hive-specific Custom Fields

Current status for Agile Hive

Update Mar 18, 2024

The development team has finished setting up the foundation for migrating Agile Hive Server / DC related data structures to the Cloud counterpart. Since Atlassian currently does not yet provide a direct migration path for Forge apps, we’ve set up a dedicated Agile Hive Migration Connect app in the Cloud with the single purpose to receive data from the Server / DC app using JCMA. This basic setup has already been released privately (see https://agilehive.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CLOUD/pages/614268930 for more information on how to request the migration helper app).

With the current version of Agile Hive Cloud Migration Helper (AHCMH) app it is possible to migrate Issue Hierarchy Link information from Agile Hive Server / Data Center to Cloud. AHCMH app will take care of automatically converting existing Server / DC issue links to the new storage format in Cloud and map all issue links to the corresponding Jira issues.

For the next version of AHCMH app, we’ve already started extending the migration path to handle Agile Hive-specific Custom Field data. We’re currently working on mapping the Custom Field data migrated from Server / DC to the corresponding fields of the Cloud app. Our estimation as of Mar 18, 2024 suggests that this will take some more weeks to complete since each Custom Field needs to be migrated individually. We’ll keep you updated on our progress in our https://agilehive.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CLOUD/pages/531202049 once a month.
