Configure a Connection Profile

From the CData ribbon, click Get Data and select From Jira Assets connection/s to launch the CData Query window. To setup a new connection, you will have to click the New Jira Assets Connection button. Here you can set the connection settings, test the connection, and save the connection profile.

Connecting and Authenticating to Jira Assets

Jira Assets supports connecting and authenticating via the APIToken.

To establish a connection, the URL connection property is required. This property must be set to the base URL of your Jira Assets (Atlassian Cloud) site, for example: https://your-domain.atlassian.net.

To generate an API token:

1. Log in to your Atlassian account.
2. Navigate to Security > Create and manage API Token > Create API Token.

Atlassian generates and then displays the API token.

After you have generated the API token, set these parameters:

• User: The login of the authenticating user.
• APIToken: The API token you just generated.

You are now ready to connect and authenticate to Jira Assets.

Connection Properties

The Connection properties describe the various options that can be used to establish a connection.

Managing Connections

After successfully authenticating to Jira Assets you will be able to customize the data you are importing. To learn more about this, see Managing Connections.
