Important updates regarding Jira support

Atlassian no longer supports Jira 7.x versions and has announced its end of life. 

Synopsys only maintained the Jira version 6.2.0 plugin for maintenance issues only while Atlassian was supporting a Jira  7.x version of Jira.

The following changes apply to Synopsys’ support model for Jira.

  • Synopsys ceased all Jira 7.x support according to Atlassian’s support policy for JIRA versions.
  • You can could remain on the Jira6Jira 6.2.0 plugin through the end of 2020.
  • Synopsys added the ability to support Jira on-prem versions 8.0.0 and above within Synopsys Alert as a new Alert channel, starting with Alert version 5.2.0. 

To migrate from the existing Jira plugin to Alert and move from Jira 7 to JIRA 8, use the following process:

  1. Ensure your Jira instance is version 8.0 or higher.
  2. Run the migration script that Synopsys provides with the Alert version 5.2.0 release to ensure Alert can successfully identify and manage your legacy and existing Jira issues.
  3. Configure and start using Alert. Configuration information is included in the Alert documentation.

Purpose

Black Duck generates notifications as important events occur, and the Black Duck Jira plugin reads those notifications from Black Duck. Some examples of notification events are:
