Release 1.11
Release Date: August 25, 2018
Features
Integration of Salesforce Objects, including Custom Objects
With Release v1.11, zAgileConnect now supports the integration of not only Case with Jira Issue, but also other Salesforce objects, including custom objects may be integrated with Jira. It is Generally Available (GA) for Jira Cloud, Jira Server, and Jira Data Center (DC).
Note that the prior major release (v1.10) was limited to Jira Server and Jira DC and not generally available (GA). Therefore, the release notes also include features and enhancements in v1.10 that were in the previous limited release. They have been marked appropriately.
Furthermore, to achieve this integration, the Salesforce object must be able to be on the Master side of the Master-Detail relationship. This currently is not supported for User and Lead objects since neither is allowed to be defined as Master. Therefore, these objects cannot be directly integrated with JIRA Issues. For more information on this constraint, please refer to the following documentation from Salesforce:
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api.meta/api/relationships_among_objects.htm
zAgileConnect comes pre-configured for integration with Salesforce Case object. For details on integrating non-Case Salesforce standard and custom objects, please refer to the following:
https://www.zagile.com/knowledgebase/integrating-salesforce-object-with-jira-issue/
Enhancements
API Support for Issue Transition
(Available in v1.11)
zAgileConnect provides API support for transitioning Jira Issue status from Salesforce.
Support for Salesforce Files
(Available in v1.10 for Jira Server and Jira Data Center. Available in v1.11 for Jira Cloud)
Files sent from Jira may be sent either as Attachments (if supported by the receiving object) or Salesforce Files. This is a configurable option in the zAgileConnect Salesforce package and applies to all files sent from Jira to Salesforce. This mode in effect is also indicated to the user in a pop up when a file is selected to be sent to a Salesforce object from Jira.
Pagination of Search Results
(Available in v1.10 for Jira Server and Jira Data Center)
Search for Jira Issues in Salesforce is no longer limited to 10 best matches. With Rel 1.10, Jira Issue Search will return 10 matches at a time and support pagination of subsequent results sets.
Please note that Linking of Issues with a Case from the Search Result set may only be performed on the current page.
Salesforce Fields Mapped to Jira are Flagged if not accessible to Integration User
(Available in v1.10 for Jira Server and Jira Data Center)
Fields that are mapped to be shared with Jira in zAgileConnect configuration are validated for access from Jira and marked if not accessible during the configuration.
Upgrading to Release v1.11 for Jira on-prem
zAgileConnect Release v1.11 comprises of Salesforce package and Jira Add-on. Upgrade is required in both applications to ensure compatibility. Both may be upgraded directly from their respective marketplaces (or available from zAgile).
Please note that we strongly recommend backing up your data prior to performing the upgrades. In Salesforce, especially, a downgrade is not possible and an uninstall will be required to revert to an earlier/older release. Uninstall will also delete all existing package-related data requiring manual import steps if reversion is needed. As a best practice, we also strongly recommend performing upgrades in a sandbox environment to ensure compatibility with other packages, plugins and customizations.
Backing up of Jira Add-on data is accomplished via the Backup/Restore options available with the zAgileConnect Add-on in the Admin Configuration section. This option backs up the Add-on specific data in Jira Active objects, including the configuration.
If you are upgrading from older releases, please be sure to review the Release Notes of prior upgrades.
Upgrading to Release v1.11 for Jira Cloud
zAgileConnect Release v1.11 for Jira Cloud only requires upgrade to the Salesforce package. The corresponding upgrade to the zAgileConnect Jira Add-on component has already been released.
Please note that we strongly recommend backing up your data prior to performing the upgrades. In Salesforce, especially, a downgrade is not possible and an uninstall will be required to revert to an earlier/older release. Uninstall will also delete all existing package-related data requiring manual import steps if reversion is needed. As a best practice, we also strongly recommend performing upgrades in a sandbox environment to ensure compatibility with other packages, plugins and customizations.
If you are upgrading from older releases, please be sure to review the Release Notes of prior upgrades.
