How it works…
What we are doing here is essentially setting up a new instance of JIRA and pointing it to
the old JIRA's data. When we start up the new JIRA, it will detect that the database it is
connecting to contains data from an older version of JIRA by reading the
dbconfig.xml
file from the
JIRA_HOME
directory. It will also proceed to make all the necessary schema
changes.
