How to Enable Agile for Jira Cloud Add On development

[Vishalsinh Jhala]

I am following below guide to develop a add on for JIRA Cloud.

https://developer.atlassian.com/static/connect/docs/latest/guides/getting-started.html

Once the JIRA instance starts, it does not show Agile menu. How can we enable that?

You need to install JIRA Software Application for Agile option.

1. Download JIRA Software obr package file from https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.jira.jira-software-application/versions
   
   
2. Then start your local JIRA instance in server mode with this command. do not include theDatlassian.upm.on.demand=true flag!! 
   

   atlas-run-standalone --product jira --version 7.0.0-OD-08-002 --data-version 7.0.0-OD-08-002 --bundled-plugins com.atlassian.bundles:json-schema-validator-atlassian-bundle:1.0.4,com.atlassian.webhooks:atlassian-webhooks-plugin:2.0.0,com.atlassian.jwt:jwt-plugin:1.2.2,com.atlassian.upm:atlassian-universal-plugin-manager-plugin:2.20.1-D20150924T170115,com.atlassian.plugins:atlassian-connect-plugin:1.1.55

3. Go to Administration > Applications > Versions & licenses. And upload downloaded obr JIRA software file.

4. Once JIRA Software is installed, shut down JIRA and restart with  Datlassian.upm.on.demand=true  flag.

   atlas-run-standalone --product jira --version 7.0.0-OD-08-002 --data-version 7.0.0-OD-08-002 --bundled-plugins com.atlassian.bundles:json-schema-validator-atlassian-bundle:1.0.4,com.atlassian.webhooks:atlassian-webhooks-plugin:2.0.0,com.atlassian.jwt:jwt-plugin:1.2.2,com.atlassian.upm:atlassian-universal-plugin-manager-plugin:2.20.1-D20150924T170115,com.atlassian.plugins:atlassian-connect-plugin:1.1.55 --jvmargs -Datlassian.upm.on.demand=true

Once JIRA starts up, you will get full access to versions, sprints, boards and all agile options.

You can always run 

atlas-run-cloud --application jira-software

You will need to have the JIRA Software (which is JIRA + JIRA Agile) to use this feature now in Cloud.

I have followed instructions per the guide and it does install Jira 7.0 which has Agile inbuilt.. But for some reason, in development environment it does not show those options.

In your development environment, you must have installed something differently?

Are you able to see Agile features if you happen to have Jira Cloud Add on Dev Environment?
