A lightweight two-way integration between JIRA and ClearQuest
This document describes Go2Group's lightweight JIRA/ClearQuest integration, AutoLinkCqReviewer. This tool runs as a JIRA change review daemon.
Prerequisites
The change reviewer must run on the JIRA server.
The change reviewer must run as a JIRA Admin. (The proper JIRA environment must be set.)
The JIRA server must have ‘cqperl’ and other ClearQuest client software installed.
The JIRA site configuration file must have six new values set to appropriate values.
Limitations
Currently the reviewer only handles ClearQuest ‘defect’ issue types.
However, multiple configuration files can be run to migrate ClearQuest ‘any type’ issue types you wish.
You can integrate and migrate one project at a time setting the ‘project’ field.
Set-up
Create a unique JIRA ID for the change reviewer to use.
Set the name of the JIRA ID on line 120 of the reviewer script.
Create a cron job (Unix) or scheduled task (Windows) to execute the reviewer at an appropriate interval (e.g. every ten minutes). The command would be:
cqperl AutoLinkCqReviewer.pl [options]
You can also re-run integrations by setting the starting JIRA Issue ID and do a re-import so to speak. Allowing you to do dry runs of the import to a test project before final cut over.
