~glast/tomcat/data/jira/slac |
JIRA work area. Used for attachments, backup and index files (everything else lives in database). I think these directories are configured via the JIRA web interface after it is started. |

Patches. Some of these may be obsolete or incorrect. |
~glast/tomcat/BASE55/glastlnx08/conf/Catalina/jira/ROOT.xml |
Application definition. Sets database used by JIRA, and controls which war file is used |
~glast/tomcat/BASE55/glastlnx08/conf/server.xml |

Notes
JIRA sucks e-mails via pop from jira@slac.stanford.edu. This must be disabled on a test setup to stop the test server sucking up production e-mails.
Test version of JIRA must be configured to use different locations for backup, attachments, index to stop it interfering with production systems.
Nightly backup is configured under administration/services. The nightly backups could be used for testing a new version of JIRA.
