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
