Installation for the Use of PLANTA project with Jira

go to the overview of the Jira integration documentation

Requirements

The following requirements apply to the use of PLANTA project with Jira:

• PLANTA project must be installed (at least DB 39.5.15).
• Jira must be installed.
• PLANTA link must be licensed.
• PLANTA Jira link must be licensed.

Settings

To enable the integration of PLANTA project with Jira, the following settings must be made:

• PLANTA Server
  • Configure the following server parameters for the PLANTA project system which is to communicate with the Jira system in the web.conf:
    • generic_service - must be activated (true)
    • generic_service_interface - must be configured if necessary
    • generic_service_port - must be configured
    • ssl_generic_enable - must be activated (true) if you want to run Jira on HTTPS.
    • apikey_auth_filter_generic - must be deactivated (false) since Jira does not authenticate to the other web interfaces.
  • After you have configured the parameters, the server must be restarted.

• PLANTA link
  • Define the required parameters in the Jira authentication area in the Jira Parameters module and selct the required interfaces in the Jira interfaces area.
    • In the PLANTA Standard, all required standard interfaces are already stored by default.
  • Synchronize or link PLANTA project and Jira users in the User Synchronization module.

• PLANTA project
  • Time recording variant = 3 must be preset in order to enable the transfer of working hours recorded in Jira to PLANTA project.
  • At the moment, the interface does not support automatic reverse postings. This means
    • you either use the posting_cancelation = 0 reverse posting setting. However, this setting does not prevent changes from being made on the part of Jira (this would require adjustments to be made on the part of Jira), the changes are simply not transferred to PLANTA project.
    • or you generally work without reverse postings (no key date, no release for records transferred to external systems, etc.)

Note

• Since the integration with Jira is based on web interfaces, please also observe the notes on Web Interfaces.
