XWiki
From 15.02.2024 the manufacturer support for the Atlassian services ends. This affects the Confluence wiki service (https://confluence.desy.de), among others.
In order to continue to offer a central wiki service, IT will provide the product XWiki from the beginning of 2024. You may reach the service via https://xwiki.desy.de.
30.01.2024 - Begin of the Migrations to the Test Server
|
Migration from Confluence to XWiki
The migration of data from Confluence to XWiki is performed centrally by DESY-IT. No special preparations or precautions are required on the part of the users. However, it may be helpful for the migration to note the following points and apply them where possible:
- Remove macros that reference content from Bitbucket, Bamboo or Jira
- Remove macros that already do not work in Confluence
- Remove content that is no longer needed
When and how to migrate?
The process of data migration is planned as follows described below. For the migration, several Spaces are bundled and migrated collectively.

Are major reworks required?
As we have experienced so far, no major reworking is required for simple text content. Only the page layout may look slightly different after the migration than before, which may result in smaller line spacing or similar at one point or another. If desired, appropriate reworking may be useful here to improve the readability of the content.
Macros
If macros are used on your Confluence pages, you may encounter error messages after the migration (indicated by a clearly visible pink box) because the macro no longer works. For most Confluence macros, there is a corresponding replacement in XWiki that can be used instead of the previous macro. Further information will be available shortly in the FAQ of the DESY XWiki service.
Access to Confluence after the migration
Your Confluence space will be switched to read-only mode after the migration of its content to the XWiki production system (https://xwiki.desy.de). This means that on your XWiki space no more changes can be made to in Confluence after the migration to the procution system.
Documentation
If anything is unclear about the use of XWiki, please first consult the official XWiki documentation and the DESY XWiki FAQ. The DESY XWiki FAQ contains the most frequently asked questions and answers. These will be continuously expanded, especially during the introductory phase of XWiki at DESY.
If your question is not answered on these pages, please contact the central DESY IT helpdesk (e-mail: uco@desy.de, Tel: 5005).
