CData Cloud offers access to Jira Service Management across several standard services and protocols, in a cloud-hosted solution. Any application that can connect to a MySQL or SQL Server database can connect to Jira Service Management through CData Cloud.
CData Cloud allows you to standardize and configure connections to Jira Service Management as though it were any other OData endpoint, or standard SQL Server/MySQL database.
This page provides a guide to Establishing a Connection to Jira Service Management in CData Cloud, as well as information on the available resources, and a reference to the available connection properties.
Establishing a Connection shows how to authenticate to Jira Service Management and configure any necessary connection properties to create a database in CData Cloud
Accessing data from Jira Service Management through the available standard services and CData Cloud administration is documented in further details in the CData Cloud Documentation.
Connect to Jira Service Management by selecting the corresponding icon in the Database tab. Required properties are listed under Settings. The Advanced tab lists connection properties that are not typically required.
You can establish a connection to any Jira Service Management Cloud account or Jira Service Management Server instance. To connect set the following property:
By default, the Cloud surfaces only system fields. To access the custom fields for Issues, set IncludeCustomFields.
After you have created and obtained the API Token, set these connection properties:
Set the AuthScheme to Crowd, then configure these connection properties:
Example connection string:
AuthScheme=Crowd;Url=https://yoursitename.atlassian.net;SSOLoginURL='https://<authority>/crowd/console/secure/saml/sso.action';User=crowdUserName;Password=crowdPassword;SSOExchangeUrl=https://<authority of Jira Service Management instance>/plugins/servlet/samlconsumer;SSOAppName=CrowdAppName;SSOAppPassword=CrowdAppPassword;
To connect to Okta, set the AuthScheme to Okta, and set these properties:
If you are using a trusted application or proxy that overrides the Okta client request OR configuring MFA, you must use combinations of SSOProperties to authenticate using Okta. Set any of the following, as applicable:
Example connection string:
AuthScheme=Okta;Url=https://yoursitename.atlassian.net;SSOLoginURL='https://example.okta.com/home/appType/0bg4ivz6cJRZgCz5d6/46';User=oktaUserName;Password=oktaPassword;SSOExchangeUrl=https://<authority of Jira Service Management instance>/plugins/servlet/samlconsumer;
To obtain the OAuth client credentials, consumer key, and consumer secret:
You can use the following properties to gain more control over the data returned from Jira Service Management:
By default, the Cloud attempts to negotiate TLS with the server. The server certificate is validated against the default system trusted certificate store. You can override how the certificate gets validated using the SSLServerCert connection property.
To specify another certificate, see the SSLServerCert connection property.

Specifies the verbosity level of the log file, which controls the amount of detail logged. Supported values range from 1 to 5.
string
"1"
This property defines the level of detail the Cloud includes in the log file. Higher verbosity levels increase the detail of the logged information, but may also result in larger log files and slower performance due to the additional data being captured.
The default verbosity level is 1, which is recommended for regular operation. Higher verbosity levels are primarily intended for debugging purposes. For more information on each level, refer to Logging.
When combined with the LogModules property, Verbosity can refine logging to specific categories of information.

This section provides a complete list of the Miscellaneous properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.
| Property | Description |
| IncludeCustomFields | A boolean indicating if you would like to include custom fields in the column listing. |
| MaxRows | Specifies the maximum rows returned for queries without aggregation or GROUP BY. |
| PseudoColumns | Specifies the pseudocolumns to expose as table columns. Use the format 'TableName=ColumnName;TableName=ColumnName'. The default is an empty string, which disables this property. |
| RequestLanguage | Use the requestLanguage to have column names translated in a specific language. |
| ServiceDeskID | Service Desk ID of the currently authenticated user. |
| Timeout | Specifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the provider waits for a server response before throwing a timeout error. The default is 60 seconds. Set to 0 to disable the timeout. |
A boolean indicating if you would like to include custom fields in the column listing.
bool
false
Setting this to true will cause custom fields to be included in the column listing. To include the custom fields we need to make an individualized request per custom field and this may cause poor performance when listing metadata.
Specifies the maximum rows returned for queries without aggregation or GROUP BY.
int
-1
This property sets an upper limit on the number of rows the Cloud returns for queries that do not include aggregation or GROUP BY clauses. This limit ensures that queries do not return excessively large result sets by default.
When a query includes a LIMIT clause, the value specified in the query takes precedence over the MaxRows setting. If MaxRows is set to "-1", no row limit is enforced unless a LIMIT clause is explicitly included in the query.
This property is useful for optimizing performance and preventing excessive resource consumption when executing queries that could otherwise return very large datasets.
Specifies the pseudocolumns to expose as table columns. Use the format 'TableName=ColumnName;TableName=ColumnName'. The default is an empty string, which disables this property.
string
""
This property allows you to define which pseudocolumns the Cloud exposes as table columns.
To specify individual pseudocolumns, use the following format: "Table1=Column1;Table1=Column2;Table2=Column3"
To include all pseudocolumns for all tables use: "*=*"
Use the requestLanguage to have column names translated in a specific language.
string
""
Use the requestLanguage to have column names translated in a specific language. By default, column names are translated based on the requesting user's language preference, or the Jira site default language if anonymous. The languages available are based on the installed languages in Jira. Provide an IETF BCP 47 language tag as described in this link: https://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp47 .
Service Desk ID of the currently authenticated user.
string
""
Service Desk ID of the currently authenticated user. By default we get the first Id returned from an extra call to get all service desks. You can get the ServiceDeskId by executing a Select query to the ServiceDesks view.
Specifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the provider waits for a server response before throwing a timeout error. The default is 60 seconds. Set to 0 to disable the timeout.
int
60
This property controls the maximum time, in seconds, that the Cloud waits for an operation to complete before canceling it. If the timeout period expires before the operation finishes, the Cloud cancels the operation and throws an exception.
The timeout applies to each individual communication with the server rather than the entire query or operation. For example, a query could continue running beyond 60 seconds if each paging call completes within the timeout limit.
Setting this property to 0 disables the timeout, allowing operations to run indefinitely until they succeed or fail due to other conditions such as server-side timeouts, network interruptions, or resource limits on the server. Use this property cautiously to avoid long-running operations that could degrade performance or result in unresponsive behavior.
