2. Installation
If your Jira server does not have Structure yet, the installation is simple:
Download and install the Structure add-on, either from Atlassian Marketplace or from our Download page. Pick the correct version based on your Jira version!
When the Add-on Manager reports a successful installation, click Get Started to visit a page with important guidance for the Jira administrator. You may also want to check out the user's Get Started page, available under the "Structure" top-level menu.
Monitor catalina.out or jira-application.log for log messages from Structure.
The upgrade procedure for versions 3.x to 5.6 is simple:
Consider backing up Jira data. Use Administration | System | Backup System. Starting from version 3.0.0, Structure data can be backed up together with Jira data. (If you have a large instance and have a proper backup strategy in place, you may skip this step.)
Install the new version of the plugin.
Monitor catalina.out or jira-application.log for warnings or errors.
4. Enterprise Deployment Notes
Structure 5.6.2 does not introduce changes that could affect performance or would justify additional load and stress testing for Enterprise deployments.
