Classic boards not working after upgrade
Asked by Claes Bergsten:

After upgrading JIRA from 4.4.3 to 5.1.1 and Greenhopper from 5.0.x to 6.0.1 we are cannot use the Classic boards.

Trying Agile-\>Classic... from the menu produces a nullpointer:

Kindly refer to the following KB for the workaround.

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,

author: David Toussaint _Communardo_
body: Hi Claes,

as your are skipping quite a few Greenhopper Versions may I ask for the Upgrade path you used? The ideal solution would have been to uninstall GH 5 (configuration should not be lost by dooing so), upgrade JIRA (with all tasks belonging to it), reinstall Greenhopper 6 (maybe even manually by "uploading" it to your JIRA). Please let me (us) know if you used an different approach.

Also from 5.0 to 6.0 there are really a lot of changes made to Greenhopper (borads, fields, schemes, ...) so you may go through the upgrade notes in order to identify critical points for your environment.

GH 6.0 upgrade notes: [https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/GH/GreenHopper+6.0+Upgrade+Notes#GreenHopper6.0UpgradeNotes-Ifupgradingfrom5.8.3,manualupgradeisrequired](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/GH/GreenHopper+6.0+Upgrade+Notes#GreenHopper6.0UpgradeNotes-Ifupgradingfrom5.8.3%2Cmanualupgradeisrequired)
