Overview

The miniOrange Data Cleanup & Migration Assistant is a comprehensive, purpose-built solution designed to bridge the gap between Atlassian Data Center and Cloud. Migrating is more than a simple data transfer; it is an opportunity to sanitize your environment.

This tool serves as an all-in-one pre-migration powerhouse for Jira and Confluence, ensuring that your instance is lean, secure, and compliant before you move to Cloud.

Benefits

Implementing the miniOrange Migration Assistant provides immediate advantages to both your IT infrastructure and your bottom line:

  • Significant Cost Savings: Lower Cloud licensing fees by eliminating inactive, duplicate, or unlicensed users before they are provisioned in the Cloud.
  • Enhanced Security & Compliance: Mitigate the risk of sensitive data exposure (PII, credentials, financial data) during and after migration.
  • Reduced Migration Failures: By cleaning up "technical debt", such as empty groups and redundant permissions, you minimize the complexity and potential points of failure in the migration process.
  • Improved Performance: A smaller data footprint leads to faster transfer times and snappier post-migration performance in your new Cloud environment.

Key Features

The tool is built on three core pillars designed to address the most common migration hurdles:

1. User & Group Cleanup
  • Dormant User Detection: Automatically identify users who haven't logged in for 60, 90, or more days.
  • Identity De-duplication: Locate duplicate accounts sharing the same email IDs to streamline identity management.
  • Permission Optimization: Detect empty or unused groups and audit "privileged" admin accounts to ensure the principle of least privilege is maintained.
  • Bulk Actions: Deactivate, delete, or exclude users and groups in bulk to prepare a clean slate for the Cloud.
2. Sensitive Data Scanner (DLP)
  • 100+ Built-in Patterns: Scans Jira issues, Confluence pages, comments, and history for PII, credit card numbers, API tokens, and secrets.
  • Contextual Visibility: View violations in real-time with "Show More" functionality to see exact matches and severity levels (Critical/Medium).
  • Remediation Tools: One-click actions to redact, remove, or encrypt sensitive data, ensuring that even if a third-party vendor assists in your migration, your data remains protected.

Additional Capabilities

Beyond the core cleanup, the assistant offers enterprise-grade governance features:

  • Automated Scheduling: Set regular user and group scans recommendations to maintain hygiene during the long lead-up to migration day.
  • Tamper-Proof Audit Logs: Every action such as a manual encryption event, is recorded with a timestamp for compliance audits.
  • Cloud Decryption Bridge: Securely encrypt data in the Data Center and use the companion miniOrange Cloud add-on to automatically decrypt it once the migration is complete.
  • Expert Regex Customization: Access to 24/7 global support for help crafting custom regex patterns specific to your organization’s unique data types.

Pre-requisites

To ensure a smooth deployment of the Migration Assistant, verify the following requirements:

  • Deployment Type: An active Jira Data Center or Confluence Data Center instance.
  • Administrative Privileges: The user installing the app must have System Administrator permissions to perform bulk user actions and cross-project/space scans.
  • Network Access: Outbound access to the miniOrange support portal or licensing servers (if applicable in your firewall configuration).
