About this task
IBM UrbanCode Release can integrate with JIRA version 6.x and later. The Accept remote API calls configuration
option must be set to ON in JIRA. By default, Accept remote API calls is set to OFF.
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. The integration
is not bidirectional; you cannot export from IBM UrbanCode Release to JIRA.
Note: Before IBM UrbanCode Release version 6.1, JIRA projects could not be imported unless
they are mapped to initiatives. Starting with version 6.1, release
changes are mapped to applications, and you can import JIRA projects
even if they are not mapped to an application.
Results
When the integration runs, JIRA 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.
