Installation and setup

Note:  This guide explains how to integrate Hansoft with Jira Server. This integration is deprecated and will be discontinued in the near future. If you use Jira Cloud or Data Center, see the Jira integration guide.

Before using the Hansoft Jira integration in your production environment, we recommend testing the integration using a test Hansoft server and a sample Jira project. This makes implementation easier and reduces the amount of changes you may need to make in the production environment.

Prerequisites

The following components are required to use the Hansoft Jira integration.

• Hansoft server with the SDK module enabled for your license. Contact Perforce Support for information about licenses.
• Hansoft for Jira plugin, which is available in the Atlassian Marketplace
• Hansoft Jira integration hosted on a Windows computer. See the Hansoft server system requirements.
• Jira Server or Jira Data Center. The integration is not supported for Jira Cloud.
• Jira Agile app, which lets the integration sync Hansoft sprints and releases to versions in Jira. The app must be installed, but does not have to be loaded in projects if you are not using it.
