Jira policy
A Jira policy contains the connection details that are used by a Jira Input or Jira Request node when you connect to a Jira application.
You can use a Jira Request node in a message flow to connect IBM® App Connect Enterprise to Jira applications and issue requests to create, retrieve, update, or delete objects such as projects, issues, filters, and users. You can use a Jira Input node in a message flow to monitor changes in a Jira application and accept input. The Jira policy controls, at run time, access to the Jira application.
The Jira policy is created when you configure a
connection between a Jira Input or Jira Request node and Jira by using the Connector Discovery wizard. During the
process of discovery, account credentials are stored in the vault and connection details are stored
in a Jira policy. The policy is created with a type of
Jira, and the name of the policy is returned to the Jira node and specified in the
Connection tab, in the format
{policyProjectName}:policyName.
You can also create, update, or delete a Jira policy by using the Manage Discovery Connector Policies and Credentials wizard. You can access the wizard by right-clicking the policy project in the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit and then clicking .
You must deploy this policy before message flows that use the policy are started. If you redeploy a Jira policy, all message flows that are using the policy are stopped and restarted.
