Converting Data Center (DC) scripts to Cloud, where possible
Deploying scripts to Cloud instances
Answering many questions related to ScriptRunner and migrations

How the ScriptRunner Migration Suite simplifies migrations

Accelerated migration projects

Makes script rewriting and migration planning a lot faster by automating the conversion of complex Data Center scripts into Cloud-ready code. SMS identifies script compatibility and provides an immediate roadmap for migration, keeping large-scale Jira projects on schedule without excessive manual analysis.

Reduced risk

Removes the risk of human error by automating script deployment and validation across multiple instances. While the Jira Cloud Migration Assistant handles core data, SMS fills the gap by managing app-specific configurations, providing automated sign-offs, and ensuring a repeatable lifecycle for every script converted.

On-demand migration support

Use ScriptRunner Intelligence (via AI) for on-demand, context-aware assistance with tricky script conversions. This assistant researches the latest ScriptRunner and Jira API documentation, carries out recursive lookups, and validates generated code to confirm it meets Cloud-native standards.

I’ve been a hardcore ScriptRunner user for 12 years. I have used every iteration of the app, from DC to Cloud, from Jira to Bitbucket. I thought I knew everything about ScriptRunner. Now I am falling in love with ScriptRunner all over again. The ScriptRunner Migration Suite has allowed me to analyze and generate scripts at hyper speed. I am now writing scripts in 10 minutes that would previously have taken me 10 hours to develop.

One of the biggest benefits for us since utilising SMS during our migration is the ability to see the compatibility of all of our ScriptRunner customisation/automation scripts with Atlassian Cloud, see the largest problem candidates for the conversion process, and really give us a feel for how much work could be automated using the tool. The other significant benefit is the AI capability to rewrite the scripts for Cloud and creating thorough documentation along the way!

Meet the tools

Analyse and Assess tool

Using the ZIP file generated from the DC export feature in ScriptRunner for Jira Data Center, this tool produces a comprehensive view of your scripts and associated configurations, organised to enable meaningful conversations about your migration plan.

The tool also uses Cloud pointers (e.g., HAPI options, REST endpoints, Jira Expressions) to guide rewrites.
For configurations without blockers, you’ll see Convert this configuration, which sends the context to the Migration Agent for assisted conversion.

Migration Agent

Unlike generic AI tools, this chat agent specialises in researching the current ScriptRunner API documentation for you and then creating, converting, and optimising your scripts.

Recursive lookups: The agent performs deep analysis of your code to convert Data Center Groovy scripts into Cloud-compatible versions.
Code validation: Every generated script is validated to confirm it meets current Atlassian standards before deployment.

Whether you are working on a Cloud migration, building new Cloud implementations, or troubleshooting existing code, the Migration Agent* can help.
