You can integrate JIRA issues into IBM® UrbanCode Release.
Before you begin
IBM UrbanCode Release can
integrate with JIRA version 5.0 and later. The configuration option
Accept
remote API calls must be set to
ON in
JIRA. By default,
Accept remote API calls is
set to
OFF.
About this task
During the import process, JIRA projects are mapped to IBM UrbanCode Release applications.
All issues in a mapped project are represented by change items in IBM UrbanCode Release. IBM UrbanCode Release communicates
with JIRA by using REST calls.
Note: Before 6.1 release JIRA projects
cannot be imported unless they are mapped to initiatives. Starting
with 6.1 release changes are mapped to applications and you can import
JIRA projects even if they are not mapped to an application.
Procedure
- From the home page, in the Administration section,
click to open the New Integration Provider
pane.
- In the Name field, type a name for
the integration.
- In the Description field, type a
description.
- From the Integration list, select Jira.
- From the Frequency list, select
a frequency. The frequency determines how often IBM UrbanCode Deploy is
polled for changes. If IBM UrbanCode Deploy has
numerous applications and components, frequent updates might affect
performance. A frequency of 30 min is a good
initial choice. You can run manual updates at any time.
- In the Base JIRA URL field, enter
the URL where the JIRA server is located. The format is http://host_name:port_number. For instance, type http://myserver.example.com:8080.
- In the User Name field, type a name
for the integration.
- In the Password field, type a password.
- Click Save to save your work.
Results
Three columns (Applications, Statuses, and Types) appear for
mapping JIRA projects to applications, JIRA statuses to release statuses,
and JIRA types to types. Any issues in the mapped project are imported
as changes. JIRA bug-type issues become bug-type changes in
IBM UrbanCode Release.
All JIRA issue types are mapped in the integration and each type goes
where it is mapped.
