About the Jira Connector and Instances

Integration with the Jira system is enabled through the Jira connector available with Code Insight. This connector supports pre-populated data (in the form of one or more instances) used to connect Code Insight with the Jira system and create Jira issues in that system. The Jira connector also controls the frequency of data synchronization between Code Insight and the server, enabling users to view the current state of these external Jira issues from within Code Insight. The Code Insight System Administrator has the responsibility of defining one or more of Jira ALM instances in Code Insight.

Once Jira ALM instances are available, the Code Insight Project Administrator can associate a Code Insight project with a specific Jira ALM instance so that project users can create track external Jira issues from Code Insight.
