How to do it…
Perform the following steps to anonymize your JIRA export:
1. Unzip the
jira_anon.zip
file to a temporary directory.
2. Copy your JIRA XML export (
entities.xml
) to the temporary directory.
3. Open up a command prompt and go to the temporary directory where the
joost.jar
file resides.
4. Run the anonymizer application with the
java -Xmx512m -jar joost.jar
entities.xml anon.stx > anon-entities.xml
command, where
entities.xml
is the name of the original XML export and
anon-entit-
ies.xml
is the new anonymized XML file to be created.
Note
JIRA's XML backup utility produces a ZIP file that contains two XML files; do
not anonymize
activeobjects.xml
.
