After using youtrack for a long time, my organization is considering switching to JIRA (for many reasons). However, JIRA does not seem to include youtrack importer / migration out of the box (although there seem to be a lot of importers / migrations vice versa).
Has anyone migrated from youtrack to JIRA and have any experience with this?
Edit: For those who might run into this problem later, my final solution got something like this:
- transfer all the "main" data manually (user accounts, basic project settings, etc.).
- write a small program in C # using slass atlassian and sdk youtrack, which go from one to another (creating problems with empty placeholders if there are no problems, because someone removes them in youtrack to keep the numbering).
This approach worked quite well, and I managed to transfer almost all the data without losing any very important data (although, of course, all the timestamps are confused, but we saw this as an acceptable loss). It’s important to know that youtrack handles problems moved from one project to another, somewhat intuitively (they still appear in their first project, even when they are removed from there, but they have a problem identifier from their new project - slightly wtf when I faced this for the first time).
In addition, although atclian sdk allowed me to “trick” the creator of the problem (that is, logged in as used by A and created a problem, telling the system that user B is actually creating this problem), it does not allow you to do this with comments. Therefore, in order to correctly transfer them, I had to actually skip the comments and log in with the corresponding new user and post comments.
Also, the attachments from youtrack were a bit annoying to download, so I had to download them "manually.": /
But overall, it was relatively painless. Some kind of assembly is needed, some final approaches are needed, but all this was done in a couple of days.
