« Hide

The upgrade to 2.6.1 is prevented due to the auto xml backup export crashing from an invalid character. I have db backups so an xml export is not necessary and the upgrade should allow option to switch off the auto-export if the error occurs but you want to proceed with the upgrade anyway.

A workaround for this problem would be very nice so I can upgrade my installation tonight as planned.

Kevin,

A possible workaround is to revert to 2.5, run an XML backup (which will optionally clean out the database), and then go back to 2.6.

Ignore my previous suggestion - it clearly doesn't apply if the data cleaner doesn't work :/

Any word as to when a patch can be applied to a 2.6.1 installation to bypass the auto-export before upgrade?

As a quick for for 2.6 / 2.6.1 users, attached is a recompiled class which omits the XML backup before upgrading. It should be placed in atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/com/atlassian/jira/bean/export/ (JIRA Standalone) or edit-webapp/WEB-INF/classes/com/atlassian/jira/bean/export/ (JIRA WAR/Webapp).
