Adding OpenSocial gadgets to a JIRA gadget directory

You can add individual Jazz™ viewlets as OpenSocial gadgets with your JIRA dashboard so that you can view JIRA data alongside widgets for other Rational® CLM artifacts. The first step is to add Jazz viewlets to the JIRA gadget catalog.

Before you begin

You add individual Jazz viewlets to a JIRA dashboard. You can also add several gadgets at one time to a JIRA dashboard by using an XML script that is provided in the Atlassian plug-in SDK as described in the related links. Your JIRA server must obtain an SSL certificate from the CLM server. Adding gadgets manually, as described here, is a way to test that your SSL certificate is set up correctly. For more information about setting up OpenSocial gadgets, see the related links.

About this task

Restriction: OpenSocial gadgets for requirements management cannot be used.
