Upgrading The Scheduler

Upgrading JIRA add-ons is generally a straightforward process. However, we do recommend you to read this page, so that you understand the whole process and therefore minimize the risk of failure.

First of all - backup your data

Before making a major The Scheduler upgrade, we recommend you to take a backup of your Scheduled Issues. While not strictly necessary, this is an additional safety measure in case of any migration problem.

Here you can read more about XML backup:

• Exporting Scheduled Issues
• Importing Scheduled Issues

Data migration

Whenever you install a new version of our add-on, JIRA automatically migrates your data to the new format. There is no need to manually migrate any data - after the new version is installed, your data should still be there.

Minor version upgrades

If you're upgrading a minor version release (such as The Scheduler 5.0 to The Scheduler 5.1), there are no additional actions required - simply update using UPM or by uploading a JAR file and you should be good to go. It is, of course, still recommended to take a backup before doing so.

Upgrading from previous The Scheduler versions

If you're upgrading from previous The Scheduler version, we recommend you to upgrade to the latest available version before installing The Scheduler 5.x.

The following upgrade paths are recommended:

• If you're currently running The Scheduler 3.x (JIRA 6.x)
  • Make sure you're running The Scheduler 3.3.4 (the latest add-on version for JIRA 6.x)
  • Upgrade JIRA first, then install the latest The Scheduler add-on version
• If you're running The Scheduler 4.x
  • Make sure you're running The Scheduler 4.3.5 (the latest 4.x version)
  • Install the latest The Scheduler add-on version
