Hello,

Do you mean that you are developing a custom plugin for Jira Server/Data Center and you want to do some action, when your plugin has been enabled?

If so, then you have two choices:

1.  Use afterPropertiesSet() method. You can find more info here:

2. Use plugin lifecycle. You can find more info here:
