How do you check a Jira Cloud migration issue by issue?
Hi all,
I'm an integration consultant with 12+ years of data migration and integration work, and I'm considering building a small Forge app for Jira Cloud. Before I write any code, I want to check it solves a real problem.
The idea: after a Data Center to Cloud migration, you give the app an export from the source site. It checks every migrated issue against it (comments, attachments, worklogs, links and field values) and gives you a list of exactly what's missing or different, with a link to each affected issue. It would run entirely on Atlassian, so no data leaves your site.
Three questions for anyone who has run or supported a migration:
How do you validate a migration today, beyond comparing totals?
Have you found missing or changed data after go-live, and how did you spot it?
Would you use a tool like this, and what would it need to do for you to trust it?
I've seen MIG-1071 asks for post-migration checks in the migration assistant itself, so I'd also love to hear about any workarounds you use.
Thanks,
Mannie
