Server & Data Center to Cloud migration
- Vasyl Krokha

At the moment Jira Server to Cloud Migration tool does not support dashboards and third-party gadgets migration described in this feature request https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/MIG-164. That’s why we have equipped you with the following tips to help you with the manual migration of gadget configurations.
Once you migrated your Jira data from Server/DC to Cloud, you need to manually recreate gadgets and their configurations. First, however, you need to know what gadgets were added to which dashboards.
You can fetch that information using SQL queries run in your Jira database.
SQL snippets have been tested in Postgres and MySQL databases but should work in all other Jira-supported databases either as is or with minimal modifications.
Migration guide
Gadgets usage overview
This SQL query produces the details of how many gadgets are in your Jira grouped by gadget type.
Postgres
SELECT substring(pc.gadget_xml, 'gadget/gadgets/(.*).xml') as "gadget_type",
count(pc.gadget_xml) as "gadget_count"
FROM portletconfiguration pc,
portalpage pp
WHERE pc.portalpage = pp.id
AND pc.gadget_xml LIKE '%net.brokenbuild.velocity-chart%'
GROUP BY pc.gadget_xml;MySQL
SELECT trim(trailing '.xml' from substr(pc.gadget_xml, length(substring_index(pc.gadget_xml, '/', 6))+2)) as "gadget_type",
count(pc.gadget_xml) as "gadget_count"
FROM portletconfiguration pc,
portalpage pp
WHERE pc.portalpage = pp.id
AND pc.gadget_xml LIKE '%net.brokenbuild.velocity-chart%'
GROUP BY pc.gadget_xml;Result column / value details
Column | Value |
|---|---|
gadget_type | Type of gadget:
|
gadget_count | number of gadgets |
If some gadget type is absent in the result, then it is not used in your Jira at all.
SQL query output example
Gadgets usage per dashboard
This SQL query produces the details of dashboards and the number of gadgets added to them:
Postgres
SELECT jira.baseurl || '/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=' || pp.id as "dashboard_url",
pp.pagename as "dashboard_name",
pp.username as "dashboard_owner",
count(pc.id) as "gadget_count"
FROM portletconfiguration pc,
portalpage pp,
(select propertyvalue "baseurl"
from propertyentry PE join propertystring PS on PE.id=PS.id
where PE.property_key = 'jira.baseurl') "jira"
WHERE pc.portalpage = pp.id
AND pc.gadget_xml LIKE '%net.brokenbuild.velocity-chart%'
GROUP BY pp.id, jira.baseurl
ORDER BY "gadget_count" DESC;MySQL
Result column / value details
Column | Value |
|---|---|
dashboard_url | dashboard url that can be used for quick access to dashboard in the browser |
dashboard_name | dashboard name |
dashboard_owner | dashboard owner (Jira user name) |
gadget_count | number of gadgets on the dashboard |
SQL query output example
Gadget details with dashboard info
This SQL query produces details about gadgets, gadget settings, dashboard of the gadget:
Postgres
MySQL
Result column / value details
Column | Value |
|---|---|
dashboard_url | dashboard url that can be used for quick access to dashboard in the browser |
dashboard_name | dashboard name |
dashboard_owner | dashboard owner (Jira user name) |
gadget_id | gadget ID |
gadget_type | Type of gadget:
|
gadget_settings | link to gadget settings in JSON format |
Gadget settings JSON output
Use URL from gadget_settings column to get gadget settings in the browser:
SQL query output example
Server/DC to Cloud feature parity
Functionality of Velocity Chart for Jira Cloud is 100% the same as for Jira Server/DC
Server/DC to Cloud development roadmap
We don’t have any development plans at the moment.
