JIRA by default disables remote communication. Remote communication must be enabled to allow the JIRA plug-in in Enterprise Tester to communicate with your JIRA server. To do this RPC Calls must be enabled.
Enabling RPC Calls
To enable remote soap calls follow these steps:
- In JIRA, click on the Administration drop down. Then select Plugins.
- In the Systems Plugins section, find the RPC JIRA Plugin and check that it is enabled including the "System SOAP Services" module.
- On the menu bar, click again on the Administration dropdown and select “General Configuration”.
- Under the Options section, ensure "Accept remote API calls" is set to "ON". To enable, click on the "Edit Configuration" link at the bottom of the page.
- The edit screen will open allowing you to select the "ON" radio button.
The link to the soap services wsdl would be:
For Professional or Enterprise JIRA installations: http://[Server]/JIRA/rpc/soap/JIRAsoapservice-v2?wsdl
For the Standalone JIRA versions on XP the link is: http://localhost:8080/rpc/soap/JIRAsoapservice-v2?wsdl
When this URL is entered into your browser, it should return an XML document, containing the wsdl for the soap service, if your JIRA server is incorrect configured it will display a warning page explaining that remote soap calls are currently disabled.
Once these configurations have been made in JIRA you can now start your configuration in Enterprise Tester.
