Overview

The CData BizTalk Adapter for JIRA enables you to access JIRA data as BizTalk Messages. You can work with JIRA data from BizTalk tools such as Send Ports, Receive Locations, Orchestrations, and Pipelines.

The adapter wraps the complexity of accessing JIRA data in a standard BizTalk adapter similar to the BizTalk Adapter for SQL Server. The adapter abstracts the underlying data source into tables, views, and stored procedures that can be used to retrieve and update data.

The CData BizTalk Adapter for JIRA hides the complexity of accessing data and provides additional powerful security features, smart caching, batching, socket management, and more.

Key Features

• Access real-time JIRA data in BizTalk.
• Execute updategrams, stored procedures, and SQL commands.
• Supports metadata discovery and schema generation for JIRA entities.

Getting Started

See Getting Started to install the adapter and connect to JIRA in BizTalk.

Using the Adapter

See Adapter Configuration to configure the adapter in send ports and receive locations. See Supported Macros when configuring the adapter properties.

Generating Schemas

See Generating Schemas for example schemas and the corresponding XML instances for executing updategrams, SQL commands, and stored procedures from various BizTalk ports. Bulk updategrams take advantage of the JIRA bulk APIs to execute simultaneous updates.

You can also use the Add Adapter Metadata wizard in Visual Studio to generate schemas. See the CData KB for a guide.

SQL Compliance

See SQL Compliance for a syntax reference and code examples outlining the supported SQL.

Caching Data

See Caching Data to configure replication and caching for a range of scenarios common to remote data access. Configurations include:

• Autocache: Automatically cache data to a lightweight database. Save data for later offline use or enable fast reporting from the cache.
• Replication: Copy data to local and cloud data stores such as Oracle, SQL Server, Google Cloud SQL, and so on. The replication commands allow for intelligent incremental updates to cached data.
• No caching: Work with remote data only. No local cache file is created.

Data Model

See Data Model to find more information on how the adapter models the JIRA APIs as tables, views, and stored procedures. This section also provides more detailed information on querying specific JIRA entities.
