JIRA-MKS Integrity Integration

Amit Girme

Within our organisation we are using MKS for one team and Jira for other

We would like to have a integration of MKS and JIRA. Is there any way to perform it?

Both should be in synchronisation so should work in both directions.

e.g.

When issue is created in Jira should reflect in MKS

and

when issue is created in MKS should reflect in JIRA.

Do any one have any idea about achieving this?

MKS = Marks and Spencer? Without knowing what you are talking about on the MKS side, I can't offer you anything there. On the Jira side, yes, it has several incoming and outgoing interfaces. For example

• On issue create/update Jira sends emails.
• You can write code that can run after issue updates that could poke stuff out into other systems
• You can easily pull XML from Jira issues if you want to code externally
• Jira can process emails to update issues
• There are SOAP and REST libraries which Jira uses to expose a lot of it's functionality - that's two way, it's for outgoing and incoming data.

But the best method for doing it is up to you - it depends on exactly what you're trying to update, how much data you want to exchange, and it's probably determined mostly by what MKS can do. Which we don't know.
