This page tells you how to add applications to your JIRA site, so that Application Links will work between JIRA and the added applications.

Before following the instructions below, please make sure that you have installed the Application Links plugin as described in the Installation Guide.

  1. Make sure that the application you want to add is running. For example, if you want to add Application Links between Confluence and JIRA, then both Confluence and JIRA must be up.
  2. Log in to JIRA as a system administrator.
  3. Go to the 'Administration' screen.
  4. Click the 'Application Links' link. The 'External Application Links' screen will appear, as shown below:


  5. Click 'Add Instance'.
  6. The 'Edit Instance Details' screen will appear, as shown below:


  7. Enter the following information:
    Field Description
    Application Select the application you are adding.
    Instance name Enter the name of the application instance. For example, a Confluence instance name might be one of the following:
    confluence
    confluence extranet

    We recommend that you use a unique instance name, to ensure that synchronisation will work.
    When using the JIRA screens to synchronise, there is currently a limitation that the instance you are synchronising from be called jira. See APL-2.

    URL Enter the address of the application instance. Examples:
    http://localhost:8080
    http://myHost.com/confluence
    Login, Password Enter the username and password of a user with system administration rights on the application instance. They are not required for Subversion.
    FishEye Admin Password Enter the password of the FishEye administrator. This field is only required when you are adding the FishEye application.
  8. Click the 'Save' button.
  9. The application instance has now been added into Application Links. The new application instance will now show on the 'External Application Links' screen:
