List of flows for integration with Jira Service Management

  • Trigger
    You need to set a trigger condition for this flow to determine which Incidents should be sent to Jira. For example, you can use the following triggers:
    • Operational or Product Categorization fields in ITSM
    • Assignment of the incident
    • Add a custom field as per your requirement.

  • Field Mapping

    The following values are mapped out-of-the-box:

    ITSM fieldJira fieldAdditional information
    Project

    In the Vendor Field Mapping of the Map Vendor definition, the value of Jira project is set under fields.project.name . By default, project is set to MultiCloud.

    You should change this value to the appropriate project name. If you have a corresponding field in ITSM for the project name:

    1. Change the project field type to dynamic.
    2. Select the Field ID on the BMC Helix Multi-Cloud Broker record definition of the field that stores the ITSM project value.
    3. Define the mapping from the ITSM value to the Jira value. You can add the transformations to select the appropriate project based on the value received from ITSM.
    PriorityPriorityDefault field mapping
    SummaryIssue SummaryThe Incident ID is included as a part of the Summary.
    Resolution Category Tier 3Issue TypeIn the Vendor Field Mapping of the Map Vendor definition, the value of Issue Type is set under field.issuetype.name for the instance of Jira you are integrating with.

    Jira provides several issue types out of the box and also enables users to create their own custom issue types. There are various options to indicate which issue type should be created.

    The example template uses the Categorization field to decide the issue type. Using the third tier of the incident request categorization, we indicate which issue type to create in Jira.

    You can use other fields or transformations to define this. However, the value passed to the Issue Type must match the name of the issue.

    DescriptionDescriptionDefault field mapping
    Incident IDLabelThe Incident ID is included in the Summary and also added as a label on the issue.
    Technology Service

    The Create DevOps Incident flow can be used to send incidents to other DevOps vendors like Jira. You can use one of the following options:

    • Use the Target Values option and select the Technology Service from the list.
      Target Values shows the list of vendor mappings that you add in the vendor metadata configuration earlier.
      For the Jira integration, from the Target Values list, select JIRA or the name of your Jira instance (if you have provided an instance in the vendor metadata configuration). This determines that the connector process is invoked in BMC Helix Innovation Suite to create or update Jira issues.
    • Use the Source Fields option and map it to one of the existing field from ITSM, for example, the Service field. Then, you can use the transformation option to map different ITSM Services to different technology services.
      For example, if the value of the ITSM Service field is Jira Service, then, add the data transformation to map Jira Service to JIRA or the name of your Jira instance (for example, Jira.InstanceName).

  3. Update the Sync JIRA Service Desk Issue flow to synchronize the new field. 

    1. Get the internal ID from Jira Service Management for your custom fields: 

      1. Run echo -n username:password| base64 
        to generate base64 encoded string for subsequent requests.

      2. Run wget --no-check-certificate --header='X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest' --header='Authorization: Basic [base64 encoded username:password]' --output-document applications.json 'https://[host]/api/v1.0/apps/search?lower_case_name=[connector name]'

        This command creates applications.json file that contains response from the Integration Service. Copy value from id field from the json file and use it in the application Id field in the next command. Find from the list of appConfig your configuration by name and copy value from the Id field. Use the value that you have copied in the configuration Id field in the next command.

      3. Run wget --no-check-certificate --header='X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest' --header='Authorization: Basic [base64 encoded username:password]' --output-document app_triggers.json 'https://[host]/api/v1.0/apps/[application Id]/configs/[configuration Id]/triggers'

        This request creates  app_triggers.json file with available triggers. Each trigger object contains a fields field that is an array of available fields. Copy value from systemName field. Use this value in step f.

      4. Run wget --no-check-certificate --header='X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest' --header='Authorization: Basic [base64 encoded username:password]' --output-document app_actions.json 'https://[host]/api/v1.0/apps/[application Id]/configs/[configuration Id]/actions'

        This request creates  app_actions.json  file with available actions. Each action object contains a fields field that is an array of available fields. Copy the value of systemName field. These fields can be used as Vendor field mapping properties.

    2. Log in to BMC Helix Integration Studio.

    3. Navigate to My Flows and select the Sync JIRA Service Desk Issue flow.

    4. On the Details tab, click Field Mapping, locate Vendor Ticket Properties.

    5. Click Add Property for each field that you want to use. 

    6. Enter the systemName field and select the field in which the value of the custom field needs to be populated.

  4. To display the custom field, update Display Mapping in Vendor Data configuration.

    1. Log in to BMC Helix Multi-Cloud Broker and click Settings  .

    2. Navigate to Configure Vendors > Map Vendors.

    3. Select the Jira Service Management metadata that you want to update and click Edit.

    4. Add the vendor specific values, if required, for the custom fields.

      • Vendor Field Mapping defines how BMC Helix Multi-Cloud Broker maps BMC Helix ITSM fields to vendor ticket fields. 

      • Display Field Mapping defines how the vendor ticket fields map to the fields on the Smart IT console.

      The configuration enables you to send data from the custom Jira Service Management field to the BMC Helix ITSM field mapped in Vendor Field Mapping.

To sync the values of mapped fields between Jira Service Management and BMC Helix ITSM

You can configure the prebuilt integration between Jira Service Management and BMC Helix ITSM to automatically update the values of fields mapped between Jira Service Management and BMC Helix ITSM in the applications, instead of adding them as a comment. If you update the value of a mapped field in one application, the value is automatically updated in the other application. For example, after brokering the incident, the initial value of the Status field in Jira Service Management and BMC Helix ITSM incidents is In Progress. Now, when you update the status of the Jira Service Management incident to Closed, the status of the BMC Helix ITSM incident is automatically updated to the same status.

To update the Jira Service Management field value when ITSM field value is changed

You must first map the BMC Helix ITSM and Jira Service Management fields that you want to keep in sync in the Jira Service Management Vendor Field Mapping.  Then, configure the flows required to update the value of the Jira Service Management fields. 

The following table lists the steps that you must perform to update a Jira Service Management field value when a BMC Helix ITSM field value is changed:
