Connect two Jira instances

[Gonzalo Fernández Durán]

Hello community,

i am triying to figure out how i could link two jira instances. The story is that there are two Jira server instance of two different companies, but they are looking to assign issues to each other and link different issues created in both Jiras.

Is that possible?

Thank you in advance

You can integrate the two Jiras through an Exalate connection. 

Here is the step by step process:

• Jira to Jira Integration: The Comprehensive Guide to Jira Sync in 2021 

Make sure you start on Step 1

Let me know if this helps you,

Hello @Gonzalo Fernández Durán ,

Issue linking should function by creating application link between these two. But if you want to also affect issues in the other instance, it has to be done through some Marketplace plugin. I suggest Backbone https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1215199/backbone-issue-sync-for-jira?hosting=cloud&tab=overview or Exalate https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1213645/exalate-jira-issue-sync-more?hosting=server&tab=overview but there are more.

If you contact the vendor, they can give you a demo of how it works.

Hope that helps,
Adam

Hi Adam

As alternative to cloning you can use Watchtower addon that would allow you to bring data from both Jiras in one agile boards and work seamlessly. 

If you feel necessary we can organize a demo for you
