We only really care about the title and main description. We could even
live without the comments. We only have 44 issues in the old system so
it seems like finding a "bulk" way to do this is only meaningful if it
would "help the next guy". I'd be happy to craft whatever input formats
the Apache Jira can import. I can get XML and Excel out.
I'm still not clear on what can be imported.

FWIW, Flex wrote an app that hit the SOAP interface of the original JIRA
base and imported issues into a test instance of the correct version. Then
the test instance got exported and sent to INFRA. Some things get lost
because user ids don't match up and voting info therefore can't be
preserved.

Kevin,
There are several big painful gotchas to be aware of here.
- If we import, and you already have a JIRA project they will be tagged on
the end of your current issues, and not in the number order you might
expect.
I'm not concerned about the imported issues being assigned new numbers.
- The project KEY you export from cannot be the same as you import into,
this will cause overwriting or a failed import.
These will be coming from issues with keys like BUG-NNNN and I assume they
will be imported with keys like KNOX-NNNN right? This is fine.
- Attachments must be provided at the time of the initial import
I don't think we have any attachments so this should be fine.
- The version from which you export must be exactly the same version we
import into (double check this before shipping us anything, please).
Apache: Atlassian JIRA (v5.2.8#851-sha1:3262fdc)
Hortonworks: JIRA
(6.0-OD-09-3#6060-sha1:a4642c9a73ee448a9294273e0bad12d9670c7015)
I guess this is a deal breaker? I was assuming that we would use XML as the
interchange format. So you are saying that an XML export from 6.0 can't be
imported into 5.2.8?
Correct, v6 OD is their on demand service. We have never done this, and the
JIRA importer will barf if the versions are not identical. You might be able
to to as Atlassian, or export in another format, but we have not done of ore
those before and we may discover new gotchas along the way.

Hi,
I'm a committer on the Knox podling project. We are discussing possibly
trying to do a bulk import of the exting Jira issues in an external Jira
system. I can see how to export them from the external system but it looks
like I don't have the privs equired to do an import. Is this even
possible? If so, what is the processes?
Kevin.
Cheers,
Tony
