Jira
Jira Cloud or Jira Data Center, through the REST API. Issues with comments and change history, sprints, versions, components, custom fields, labels, attachments, worklogs and users.

Migration tools
Switch trackers. Keep your history.
Open-source tools that read your current tracker, read-only, and write an open import bundle. Specivo checks the bundle, rehearses the load and imports it: issues with their full history, comments, attachments, people, wiki pages and logged time.
Available tools
Each tool runs on your side, needs read access only, and changes nothing in the system it reads.
Redmine
Redmine's database, PostgreSQL or MySQL. Projects and members, issues with full history, relations and watchers, custom fields, wiki revisions, groups, attachments and time entries.
- PostgreSQL
- MySQL
- Wiki
Request Tracker
RT 4.4, 5.0 and 6.0 on PostgreSQL, MySQL or MariaDB. Queues and tickets with correspondence, comments and history, attachments, time worked, links, merged tickets, custom fields and Articles.
- RT 4.4 · 5.0 · 6.0

A move you can rehearse
Every tool works the same way, so you can try a migration as often as you like before you switch.
Export
Run the tool against your tracker while it keeps working. Start with one project.
Validate
Specivo checks the bundle before it touches a database: format, references, files.
Rehearse
A dry run does the whole import and rolls it back. Load a test instance and look around with your team.
Load
Import everything at once, or project by project. Links between bundles resolve whichever comes first.
Check the report
Whatever could not be carried over is listed, so nothing disappears silently.
Coming next
More tools are on the way, and you don't have to wait for one.
Asana & more
Asana and other trackers are on the roadmap.
Your own exporter
The bundle format is open, and the Python SDK writes and validates bundles, so any script can feed Specivo.
