Integrating with JIRA

Jira issues can be integrated into IBM® UrbanCode Release.

About this task

JIRA projects are mapped to IBM UrbanCode Release initiatives. All issues in a mapped project are represented by change items in IBM UrbanCode Release.

Note: JIRA projects cannot be imported unless they are mapped to initiatives.

Procedure

  1. Click Integrations > Add New to open the New Integration Provider pane.
  2. In the Name field type a name for the integration.
  3. From the Integration list, select Jira.
  4. 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 perform manual updates at any time.
  5. In the Base JIRA URL field, enter the URL where the Jira server is located. The format is [HOST]:[PORT]; for example, http://myserver.company.com:8080.
  6. In the User Name field type a name for the integration.
  7. In the Password field type a password.
  8. Click Save to save your work.

Results

Any issues in the mapped project are imported as changes. JIRA bug-type issues become bug-type changes in IBM UrbanCode Release. All other JIRA issue types become other-type changes
