JIRA outage 5th November

[cintiadr (Cintia Del Rio)]

So, next Sunday I will be migrating JIRA to the new server:

New JIRA instance available for tests

After way-too-many hours, I finally got the new JIRA instance to work!!! https://issues-new.openmrs.org/ Please test it. You should be able to login with your regular openmrsID credentials. Emails are not going to be sent. Next weekend, I will migrate JIRA to this instance, so let me know if you find any problems.

I do expect at least 1h long outage, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it takes longer.

[cintiadr (Cintia Del Rio)]

This is happening now! Wish me luck!

[burke (Burke Mamlin)]

Good luck! May the Atlassian Gods look kindly upon you.

[cintiadr (Cintia Del Rio)]

It took a few retries, but everything looks good now.

Some wiki pages might give you a ‘JIRA macro’ error. If you edit the macro and recreate it (or add a new macro), it appears fine.

Maybe the confluence upgrade will fix that too.

Awesome work @cintiadr

The upgrade seems to have gone well. Does any one know how to turn off or hide the left side bar which has shown up after the upgrade?

[burke (Burke Mamlin)]

The left hand panel is one of the many new features since we last upgraded.

You can collapse the left panel by clicking the double arrows at the bottom of it and, I believe, JIRA will preserve its state for you (so you don’t have to collapse it each time you visit).

Thanks @burke for the tip.

After collapsing the sidebar, there is another smaller bar that is left. Is that also hideable?

@dkayiwa

I’m afraid not. It’s part of the navigation UI. Hopefully the collapsed mode is thin enough, it won’t bother you. If it does, you have two options: (1) get a wider monitor or (2) use a Chrome plugin to inject some CSS to hide it.
