Understand communication models

There are several options you may setup Jira synchronization. 


(1) Jira distribution type

Cloud ↔ Cloud (see IssueSYNC Cloud)

Cloud ↔ Server (see How to synchronize Server <-> Cloud)

Server ↔ Server

(2) Local vs remote

You can synchronize with:

  • remote Jira instance
  • same Jira instance (create Connection using baseURL)
    • High isolation level between projects (for example, each project is for different customer)
    • Exchange requests between departments but don't want or can use move operation

(3) Behind firewall

If one of your Jira instance is behind a firewall you still can synchronize with it using 'passive' mode. See Setup Connection URL & User for more.


(4) Directions

There are several options you can setup your synchronization:

  • one way
  • two way
  • broadcast from one instance to several others
