Migration process: ScriptRunner from Confluence Server to Cloud
The general approach to migrating ScriptRunner for Confluence Server/Data Center to Cloud is:
- Analyse the purpose of your scripts
- Identify the equivalent feature in Cloud
- Adjust your scripts to be Cloud-ready (explained below)
Full details and more possible gotchas for each method are outlined in the documentation below.
One of the biggest gotchas for migration is the rewriting of scripts. As mentioned in the ScriptRunner migration FAQs section, any migration from Server to Cloud requires some rewriting of your scripts. For instance, interactions with APIs will need to be replaced with calls to the appropriate REST APIs due to differences between Atlassian Cloud and Server infrastructure.
If the equivalent feature in Cloud for what you need does not exist yet, please let us know. We’re prioritising development based on feedback from you!
Migration process: ScriptRunner from Confluence Server to Data Center
When it comes to migrating Confluence on-premise, there are two main types of migration:
