Overview
CSM integrates with JIRA so that Incidents and Problems logged in CSM can be tracked in JIRA as the applicable issue type and status changes in CSM are recorded in the corresponding JIRA Issue. This mApp Solution includes functionality to post to JIRA, add comments to JIRA, and update JIRA statuses via REST Web Service calls. The responses are updated in the CSM Object as applicable and are logged in the Journal - Integrations Audit log.
Relating Issues in JIRA
As with CSM, Issues in JIRA can be related to other Issues. When an Incident that has a JIRA Issue Key is linked to a Major Incident or Problem that also has a JIRA Issue Key, the relationship is automatically updated on JIRA by means of an Automation Process.
Updating Statuses within JIRA
Entering status details from JIRA Project Workflows into the JIRA Status Table enables the ability to transition your JIRA Issue Statuses from within corresponding Incident and Problem records.
How the mApp Solution Works
CSM provides the JIRA V2.0 mApp Solution so Users can exchange data between JIRA and CSM using a web service. Download the mApp Solution from the Cherwell mApp Exchange. Use the Apply mApp wizard to apply the mApp Solution to your CSM system. The Apply mApp wizard generates a Blueprint, which can then be viewed and published to a test or live system to commit the changes.
