In the example below we will create a project link with a “new” project that has no existing versions:
Project: VCS - Source (team managed)
Versions: 1.0.0 & 2.0.0
Project: VCS - Target 1 (team managed)
Versions:
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 1Click on Next:Synchronisation
In this example we will use the default Scheduling & Trigger settings
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
The app will now show an overview of the project link(s) you are creating
Click on save 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 VCS - Source & VCS - Target 1 the app checks whether there are versions present in VCS - Target 1
Version 1.0.0
The app recognises that version 1.0.0 does not exist in VCS - Target 1
The app creates versions 1.0.0 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 1.0.0 in VCS - Target 1 it is linked to version 1.0.0 in VCS - Source
This links ensures that any and all version changes to version 1.0.0 in the VCS - Source project 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 versions 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 the VCS - Source project are synchronised to version 2.0.0 in VCS - Target 1
Project: VCS - Source (team managed)
Versions: 1.0.0 & 2.0.0
Project: VCS - Target 1 (team managed)
Versions: 1.0.0 & 2.0.0
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
