JIRA Connector

Note: Before working with the JIRA connector, you should be familiar with general Process Development

The JIRA Connector is designed to allow you to move data into and out of the JIRA application. As a JIRA user, you can use this connector to integrate any on-premise applications and legacy systems. This connector can also be used for integrating JIRA with other On Demand or SaaS based applications such as Intacct, Salesforce, Netsuite, etc.

The JIRA connector will connect directly to the JIRA application and browse the interfaces real-time. Integrating with JIRA consists of web service calls utilizing XML request/response setup over an HTTPS connection. The technical details of this connection such as request headers, error handling, HTTPS connection, etc. are all abstracted from the user to simplify the implementation.

Connector Configuration

Configuring a connector to communicate with JIRA requires the setup of two different components:

• JIRA Connection
• JIRA Operation

This design allows for reusability of the components, which contain connection settings (URL, Username, Password) and operation settings (Object, Action, Data Definitions). Once your connection and operation are built, you will need to set up your connector within the Process. Once the JIRA connector is defined properly within your process, Boomi AtomSphere will be able to map to and from virtually any system using the connector to retrieve data from or send data to the JIRA application.

Prerequisites

In order to implement a connection to your JIRA account from AtomSphere, you'll need to complete the following:

• The "Accept remote API" option must be turned on in Administration > General Configurations >
  Options.
• The JIRA WSDL must be exposed to the Atom.
• You will need the JIRA administrator login and password to use the JIRA connector due to the fact
  that some operations require Administrator level permissions.
• An Atom must be deployed on a machine that has access to your JIRA application.
  • If your JIRA application is protected behind the firewall, you must install the Atom on the same
    network as JIRA.

Supported Editions

• This connector is certified on versions 3.10 and above.
• The connector should work on on the earlier releases but it has not been tested.
• Please note that the ability to search issues by JQL will only work on JIRA 4.x.
