Your base url must be set to the single url that you access Confluence over. As you have a proxy server, this must be the url that the proxy is serving Confluence on. You say "base url is not available from the proxyserver" - that means your proxy is incorrect, it is supposed to be serving the base url up.

There is a bit of possible confusion in your question here. In the title, you say "project category" which is a very specific thing in Jira, but in the body, you say "categories in project", which implies you are using a custom field to define a "category" of your own. That's fine, I just need to be clear that you do not…

Given a completely free choice, PostGreSQL first (because that's what Atlassian use and develop against primarily), MySQL second, Oracle third, and Microsoft-SQL last. It is not a huge gap between them, and my list is based purely on the experiences of which ones have given me the least and most grief in the past. The…

You would need to pull out the module of Jira Software that provides the swimlane functionality and rewrite it, adding the new function for the new field into it. I'm afraid it's system functionality that is not readily amendable. The best you can do is amend your board swimlanes every time a new label comes into use,…

What are you using for your CMDB?

What errors or warnings are you getting when you say you "can't open it"?

This is usually done with email handlers 

Ok, I would not bother duplicating everything, but take advantage of the "linked issue" functions you can get because you've got eveything in one place. This enables Service Desk to work on a request like a service desk, while feeding something into other projects so they can work as they usually do and keep the…

Have a look at the system information page in admin. This will give you the "confluence home" directory on the server, and the import directory is always under that, and called "import"

Yes, your integration should co-ordinate with Jira. Not tell it what to do. Take a look at a Jira database like the one I was trying to repair today. Are you seriously proposing that you want to manually set the id for every one of the 25,000 options and labels we skimmed over today? IDs should be co-ordinated, yes, but…

Ah, I see. No, Jira doesn't do that.

You are reading docs for Server/DC Confluence. You don't upload themes or apps to Cloud, you request them from the marketplace or give Confluence a url to set up the connection with. For themes on Cloud, start at https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/theme/ - the installation instructions (make it available on…

Could you explain what else is different about these two sets of users, if anything? Maybe the names of the group(s) and what you mean by "special users"?

What are you doing differently from everyone else, and what does "can't open" look like?

Yes, that's how the previous answers Jakob_KN pointed to are doing it.

I'm sorry I was not clear. It is up to your integration to seek the ids, not dictate them to another system.

I'd check the setup by using a dummy return value while coding for the field and use the preview to see where they come out. Replace each "return null" line with an incrementing number to start with. So if the issue type name does not match, return 1, linked issues is empty, return 2, customfield return 3 and then add…

This is the default behaviour of a board. The backlog will show you all the tasks queued up for future sprints (completed items will not be shown, they're done). The board shows you the issues in the current sprint, including the done ones in the last column. If you're seeing something different, then it suggests your…

Yes, and the answer is on one of the pages beneath that link. If you click on "jira server platform rest api", and then search for "add attachment", you will find the rest calls that you'll need to add/code for/configure in Soapui.

That doesn't really explain it. A proper application integration would use the values and be aware of the changes.

Jira no longer supports SOAP, you need to use a REST call. See https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/rest-apis/ to get started with that.

You can only control access to an app if the app itself implements user access controls. Most do not.

There are a couple of apps designed for tracking views, but they cannot tell if a file was downloaded, viewed in line or previewed - those actions all look like downloads.

You can delete from here safely if you do it the right way: * Stop Jira * Delete files (I'd recommend keeping files that were created or updated in the last 3 days though. 1 day is a little low on larger systems, but anything over a week can definitely go) * Start Jira The first time you do this, I would err on the side of…

No, your instincts are pretty much spot-on! Removing a status from a simplified workflow won't remove it completely. The overhead in leaving dead status around is not a significant problem for performance, they don't impose a lot of load, but cleaning them out certainly makes life nicer for your admins and users (typing…

We have no way of seeing your systems.

Only if you have premium support. I'd recommend doing what the system suggests - go to Admin -> Issues -> Workflows, find the existing workflow of that name and edit it, changing the name.

Status do not have actionIDs, so I'm afraid your question does not make much sense. Also, an issue link event happens when issues are linked, not on transition, so the event does not contain anything related to the status (it's irrelevant) Could you explain what your listener is intended to do?

Not directly. Jira 2 would break as soon as anyone started to add data to it, rapidly leading to a corrupted database and a Jira that just falls over. Closest you might get is to set up a one-way "synchronise" using Backbone, Exalate or Watchtower - they can push data out of 1 and into 2 without breaking anything, but it…
