Structure 6.0 EAP is an Early Access Program version. Do not install it on production. It has been created to allow our users the opportunity to test the new API and preview our new Automation type - Effectors. Structure 6.0 introduces API changes that could make existing configurations incompatible.

Note: Released versions of Structure.Gantt, Structure.Testy, Structure.Pages are not compatible with Structure 6.0 EAP. Compatible versions of the ALM Works extensions for Structure 6.0 will be available shortly.

Structure 6.0 EAP supports Jira 7.13+

Pick a Time

We strongly recommend that you install and upgrade your apps during off-peak hours or scheduled maintenance windows. There are known issues in the Jira plugin infrastructure that may cause performance degradation and impede app installation when your Jira instance is under heavy load.

3.1. Installing Structure

If your Jira server does not have Structure yet, the installation is simple:

  1. Download and install Structure app from our Download page.
  2. When Add-on Manager reports the successful installation, click Get Started to visit a page with important guidance for the Jira administrator. You may want to also check out the user's Get Started page, available under the "Structure" top-level menu.
  3. Monitor catalina.out or jira-application.log for log messages from Structure.

3.2. Upgrading Structure

If you're upgrading from version 2.11.2 or earlier, please read Structure 3.0.0 Release Notes.

The upgrade procedure from versions 3.x–5.6 is simple:

  1. Consider backing up Jira data. Use Administration | System | Backup System. (If you have a large instance and a proper backup strategy in place, you may skip this step.)
  2. Back up Structure data. Use Administration | Structure | Backup Structure menu item. If you have a lot of structures and a large Jira, consider turning off the "Backup History" option to avoid a long backup process.

  3. Install the new version of the plugin.

  4. Monitor catalina.out or jira-application.log for warnings or errors.
