Page Comparison

In the example below we will create a project link with a project that has existing versions that we would like to keep:

To share versions/components from the VCS - Source project, we will create a project link with project VCS - Target 1

• Navigate to the Version & Component Sync page in the Source project.

• Click on Create a project link

• Select the project(s) you want to link to the Source project. Versions from VCS - Source will be propagated to selected project(s)
  After selecting the desired projects to link to VCS - Source, click In this example we will create a project link with VCS - Target 1

• Click on Next: synchronisation
  

• In this example we will use the default Scheduling

• To ensure existing versions maintain in VCS - Target 1 we will uncheck the Delete trigger. All other triggers will remain checked.

• Click on Next: filters

• The app will now show an overview of the versions that will be synchronised from the source project to the target project
  By creating filters you can control which versions are in-or excluded from synchronisation. In this example we will not use any filters

• Click on Next: confirmation

• Click on save, to save the project link(s)

• Upon clicking on save, the app will:

  • Start synchronising

  • Shown an overview of the created project links and their current status

• To edit or delete a existing project link first navigate to the Version & Component Sync page in the target project or click on the Linked project link in the source project

• Click on the Settings tab

To provide you with insights in how the app works, this is what happens during synchronisation:

Synchronisation

Upon creating a project link between Source & Target Project 1 the app checks whether there are versions present in Target Project 1

Version 1.0.0

• The app recognises that version 1.0.0 in VCS - Source already exists in VCS - Target 1

• The app links version 1.0.0 in VCS - Source to version 1.0.0 in VCS - Target 1

• This links ensures that any and all version changes to version 1.0.0 in VCS - Source are synchronised to version 1.0.0 in VCS - Target 1

Version 2.0.0

• The app recognises that version 2.0.0 does not exist in VCS - Target 1

• The app creates version 2.0.0 in VCS - Target 1

  • Jira does not allow you to link a single version to multiple projects. Therefore the app needs to create ‘new’ versions in VCS - Target 1

• The app makes sure that upon creation of the ‘new’ version 2.0.0 in VCS - Target 1 it is linked to version 2.0.0. in VCS - Source

• This links ensures that any and all version changes to version 2.0.0 in VCS - Source are synchronised to version 2.0.0 in VCS - Target 1

Version 3.0.0

• The app recognises that version 3.0.0 in VCS - Target 1 does not exist in VCS - Source

• Due to unchecking the delete trigger the app will not delete version 3.0.0 in VCS - Target 1

Edit project link

To edit or delete a existing project link:

• Navigate to the Version & Component Sync page in the target project or click on the Linked project link on the Version & Component Sync page in the source project

• Navigate to the Settings tab

• Here you change the apps synchronisation method, log lever or delete the project link all together
