Hi There

 

I have been using Jira for a recent project in our company for a SAP upgrade project.

And I think we might be using it again in future projects.

 

What I do miss is a feature that can support the different tasks SAP transports.

What we would need is a way for us to connect via the API to a project list of transports, so that we from the SAP development system can add transports that have been created for the different tasks.

 

The idea is that when a team member wants to create a transport in the development system, we should be able to get a list of Jira tasks that the user is assigned to (via an API call), and when the user selects a task from that list, we create the transport with a title that corresponds to the Jira task, and via another API call we add the transport to the projects SAP transports table.

It should therefore be possible from inside a task to click on a link to see the current list of transports related to that task.

And for the project manager(s) there should be a way to see the entire list of SAP Transports for the project. With option to specfify a user and/or a Jira task number as input for the selection.

 

The fields that would be needed is:

TRKORR   Transport Request

AS4TEXT  Description

AS4USER  Team members SAP user name

AS4DATE  Date on which the transport was created

AS4TIME  Time on which the transport was created

QA_DATE  Date on which the Transport Request was imported to the test system (QA)

QA_TIME  Time on which the Transport Request was Imported to the test system (QA)

QA_RC  Returnn code of the Trasnport Request import

JIRA_TASK  Jira task number

 

The API call that we need would be:

1) Get a list of a users tasks supplying a SAP Username.

This would require that when a user is created in Jira, there should be an option to add the users SAP Username

The returned list will have the fields:

Jira task number

Jira task description text

Jira task status

Jira task asignee

2) Create an entry in the project transport table

Supplying a structure of the fields described above

3) Update an entry in the project transport table

Supplying a structure of the fields described above

 

And lastly, when opening a Jira-task it is possible to see who is the current assigned person. But it would be nice to have a list of people that are involved in the task. And when we want to get a list of Jira tasks for a user, this is where it should look.

Normally there will be one or more developers assigned and/or business consultants. Those are the persons that can create SAP Transports.

 

If this feature were available, we would be able to manage all transports of changes in the project, which would help save a lot of time, and would make Jira the go-to solution for all projects in our company (which without naming) is a world-wide company.

 

Thanks for a great product - which would be even greater with the above.

 

Best regards,
