Ensure:
- [ ] JSU Data Center is licensed, and **the latest ****[version](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/5048/jsu-automation-suite-for-jira-workflows/version-history)**** is installed.** - [ ] JCMA (or CMJ) is the highest compatible version with Jira Server/DC | | 2 | **Review feature compatibility ** | - [ ] Gain a clear understanding of the feature differences between JSU Data Center and Cloud. Refer to [JSU Server/DC vs Cloud feature comparison](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JSU/pages/12684789) to identify any unsupported features. | | 3 | **Check JSU DC usage** | - [ ] Identify where JSU is used in your Jira DC instance to enable comparison after migrating to the Cloud. You can use one or more of the following methods:
- Refer to [https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SUPPORT/pages/80876628](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SUPPORT/pages/80876628) - Use XML export or workflow editor. You can also refer to [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1230311/app-usage-for-jira?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1230311/app-usage-for-jira?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview) | | 4 | **Test migration** | - [ ] Perform a test migration to identify any potential issues in advance; this helps ensure a smoother production migration. | --- ### ✅ Post-migration checks | | Checkpoint | Solution | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | **Fix errors and warnings listed on the Cloud JSU Migration Reports page** | - [ ] On the ** JSU Migration Reports** page of the target Cloud instance, review all the tabs and resolve the listed issues. Refer to [JSU migration reports](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JSUCLOUD/pages/710181330) for details. [Ref](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JSU/pages/12684875/Jira+Cloud+Migration+Assistant+JCMA#Post-migration-report-and-cleanup) | | 2 | **JSU rules loaded** | - [ ] Go to **JSU*** → ***My Workflows** and confirm all rules are listed and enabled. Refer to [https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JSUCLOUD/pages/12519535](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JSUCLOUD/pages/12519535) for more details. | | 3 | **JCMA automatically migrates JSU Data Center conditions and validators that exist natively on Jira Cloud to their *****native***** equivalents. This is done outside of JSU’s control.** | - [ ] Once the migration to Cloud is complete, based on your requirements, remove the migrated Jira Cloud native workflow validators and conditions; manually add the required JSU validators and conditions. Refer to [https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JSUCLOUD/pages/1958084925](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JSUCLOUD/pages/1958084925) and [https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JSUCLOUD/pages/1973288961](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JSUCLOUD/pages/1973288961) | | 4 | **Review Execution Logs ** | - [ ] Go to **JSU*** → ***Execution Log** to investigate any failures or errors. | | 5 | **Key workflow transitions test** | - [ ] Create test issues and run transitions to validate expected automation behavior. | --- ### ❓ JSU Migration FAQ (Cloud) - **Q: Why are some post functions, validators, and conditions missing after migration?** **A:** Some features aren't supported in Cloud. Use the [Feature Comparison Table](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JSU/pages/12684789). - **Q: Why does **`%%CURRENT_USER%%`** insert an ID?** **A:** In Cloud, this macro returns a user Account ID. Use a *User Picker* field to render names properly. - **Q: Why don’t the post functions work after migration?** **A:** Verify if the user has the necessary permissions in the permission scheme. As a workaround, try executing the post function using the JSU Add-on user account. - **Q: JSU post function failed; what now?** **A:** Go to **JSU ***→ ***Execution Log**, find the failure, and contact Appfire support with the Log ID. - **Q: Why is migration stuck at 0%?** **A:** Check if the Cloud instance URL has changed after installing the app; if so, then reinstall the app on the Cloud instance. **Q: How do I know if migration is still running?** **A:** Migration could be completed. Check the backend logs.
