Getting ready
The general prerequisite tasks for upgrading JIRA manually will remain the same as that of
the installer. Refer to the previous recipe for the common tasks involved. Since the installer
automates many of the backup tasks while upgrading JIRA manually, you will have to do
the following:
1. Back up the JIRA database with its native backup utility
2. Back up the
JIRA_INSTALL
directory
3. Back up the
JIRA_HOME
directory
4. Get a list of all the customized files in the
JIRA_INSTALL
directory from the
System Info page in JIRA
5. For the WAR distribution, prepare and configure the installation files
