Migration process: ScriptRunner from Confluence Data Center to Cloud
There general appraoch to migrating ScriptRunner for Confluence 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 linked below.
One of the biggest gotchas for migration is the rewriting of scripts. As mentioned on the main ScriptRunner migration homepage, any migration from Data Center 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 Data Center 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!
