    Summary

    The plugin imports work items as issues from HCL DevOps Plan server into HCL DevOps Velocity. Data between the HCL DevOps Plan server and HCL DevOps Velocity is synchronized by the syncCompassIssueEvent scheduled event which runs every five minutes by default. A data sync can be forced by toggling disable/enable on the integration.

    Compatibility

    This plugin requires HCL DevOps Velocity version 2.0.0 or later.

    The HCL DevOps Plan server version 1.0.1.00 or later is required.

    Upgrade notes

    Beginning with HCL DevOps Velocity version 2.4.0 users must enter a user access key is required to connect with the HCL DevOps Velocity server. If you are upgrading from a previous version, you must obtain and add the key to the HCL DevOps Velocity User Access Key configuration property. If the user access key is not added, the integration fails.

    Usage

    Use the HCL DevOps Plan plugin to import and synchronize issues from an HCL DevOps Plan server into an HCL DevOps Velocity server. To use the HCL DevOps Plan plugin, the plugin must be loaded and an instance created before you can configure the plugin integration. You define configuration properties in the user interface or in a JSON file.

    Integration type

    The HCL DevOps Plan plugin supports scheduled events integration which are listed in the following table.

    Scheduled events
    Name Description
    syncCompassIssueEvent Query the HCL DevOps Plan server for issues in a project.

    Integration

    There are two methods to integrate the plugin:

    • Using the user interface
    • Using a JSON file

    Using the user interface

    1. From the Plugins page, click Settings > Integrations > Plugins.
    2. Under the Action column for the plugin, click Add Integration.
    3. On the Add Integration page enter values for the fields used to configure the integration and define communication.
    4. Click Save.

    Using a JSON file

    The JSON file contains the information for creating a value stream and integrating with the HCL DevOps Plan server. The following table describes the information for the creating an HCL DevOps Velocity value stream map.

    1. Download the value stream map. The value stream map is a JSON file used to define integrations.
    2. Edit the JSON file to include the plugin configuration properties.
    3. Save and upload the JSON file. This replaces the current JSON file with the new content.
    4. View the new integration on the Integrations page.

    Stage Queries

    When using a vsm.json file to configure, it includes multiple stages. Stages are defined as objects within a stages array. The stages array is part of a phase object within a phases array. You can modify both phases and stages to match your own process. All stage queries are empty by default. You can add and remove phases, stages, and stage queries for your entire value stream.

    The following is a simple example.

    DQL Queries

    HCL DevOps Plan queries are based on issue objects. These objects have standardized HCL DevOps Velocity fields. Some standard fields are automatically mapped, while others are defined by custom mapping. Aside from standard fields, the HCL DevOps Plan issue object also contains a rawIssue field that is unique to HCL DevOps Plan.

    • issue.type=Defects
    • issue.owner=“John Bret”
    • issue.status=Assigned
    • issue.id=SAMPL000000012
    • issue.project.name=Classic
    • issue.rawIssue.customer=“Customer A”

    Configuration Properties

    The following tables describe the properties used to configure the integration. Each table contains the field name when using the user interface and the property name when using a JSON file.

    • The General Configuration Properties table describes configuration properties used by all plugin integrations.
    • The HCL DevOps Plan Configuration Properties table describes the configuration properties that define the connection and communications with the HCL DevOps Plan server.

The Create Integration form takes precedence.
