How Does It Work?
The migration wizard simply needs you to enter in the URL, login and password for your Jama instance (either cloud or on-premise is supported). You should also indicate which types of artifact you want to migrate from Jama into Spira:
Once that is done, you then specify the URL to the Spira instance you will be migrating the data info (again, both cloud and on-premise is supported):
Once that is done, you then review the mapping between the Jama item types and the relevant Spira core artifact:
Detailed information on how this mapping works id described in the online documentation.
Once you click Start Import, the migration wizard will start moving the data over:
Once the wizard is completed, the project will now be available in Spira.

This is how they will look inside Spira:
Test Plans and Test Runs
The migration tool will migrate the Jama test plans into Spira as test sets:
