Problem:

How do I setup JIRA so that I can integrate it with SilkCentral Test Manager?

Resolution:

The instructions below describe how to setup JIRA so that it can be integrated with SilkCentral Test Manager.

To invoke JIRA operations remotely, you should ensure that the RPC plugin is enabled on the JIRA installation you are targeting. If you simply want to create a client to http://jira.atlassian.com/ then you can skip this step. First you need to check if the Accept Remote API Calls has been enabled in the General Configuration tab under Global Settings.

Then you need to enable the JIRA RPC Plugin as below.

If the plugin does not appear as above then your RPC jar has not been properly installed. Download the jar from the repository and copy it to the "atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/lib" folder of your JIRA installation. Perform a restart and your plugin should appear.

Your server should now be ready to accept remote procedure calls.

Please note that the SilkCentral plug-in requires the JIRA Web Services V2 that began shipping with JIRA version 3.1.0. This plug-in will not work with JIRA version 3.0.x and below.

There is much more information regarding this on the JIRA website at the following link: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/JIRA XML-RPC Overview
