Description
Problem Definition
As mentioned by the developer in this JRA-59832 ticket:
Unfortunately it was becoming too difficult to maintain older upgrade tasks, so in 7.1.0 the Agile team removed upgrade tasks older than 12 months.
You can either
Upgrade JIRA Agile to 6.7.x on their original instance (for JIRA 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5). Or;
Import the data into a JIRA Software 7.0.0 instance first. (or upgrade the original instance to 7.0.0)
Both of these scenarios will run the required upgrade tasks.
So currently,when user want to take "Roll back" action, he must prepare
- backup of JIRA Installation Directory
- backup of JIRA HOME directory
- backup of JIRA Database directory
So if user missed those backups, user can't take this action.
User can notice after upgrade by atlassian-jira.log because no error/warning on before upgrade process.(https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-60371)
In 7.1.4, there are
(ghUpgradeTask046) Assign status categories to Agile Simplified Workflow statuses. (ghUpgradeTask047) Remove classic gadget (ghUpgradeTask048) Inserts a reindex required warning into the admin screen for the epic label custom field searching (ghUpgradeTask049) Migration Manage Sprints permission (ghUpgradeTask050) Re-migration Manage Sprints permission (ghUpgradeTask051) Migration Manage Sprints permission for BTF customers only

(ghUpgradeTask048) Inserts a reindex required warning into the admin screen for the epic label custom field searching (ghUpgradeTask049) Upgrade task to bring build number in sync with cloud (ghUpgradeTask050) Upgrade task to bring build number in sync with cloud
Error message shows us that
- JIRA 6.3.15&JIRA Agile 6.3.13 is "ghUpgradeTask042"
- JIRA Software 7.1.x starts its upgrade task from "ghUpgradeTask045"
So ghUpgradeTasks from 043 to 044 are removed.
Suggested Solution
Publish some document or script to do JIRA Agile upgrade task that removed by the development team. The documentation should include about the things such like DB tables/record that are changed by these upgradetask. This would be easier than performing the rollback process.
