2.1.3. Configuring the Plug-In
The next step is to configure the plug-in within SpiraTeam so that the system knows how to access the
JIRA server. To start the configuration, please open up SpiraTeam in a web browser, log in using a valid
account that has System-Administration level privileges and click on the System > Data Synchronization
administration option from the left-hand navigation:
This screen lists all the plug-ins already configured in the system. Depending on whether you chose the
option to include sample data in your installation or not, you will see either an empty screen or a list of
sample data-synchronization plug-ins.
If you already see an entry for JiraDataSync you should click on its “Edit” link. If you don’t see such an
entry in the list, please click on the [Add] button instead. In either case you will be taken to the following
screen where you can enter or modify the JIRA Data-Synchronization plug-in:
You need to fill out the following fields for the JIRA Plug-in to operate correctly:

Name – this needs to be set to JiraDataSync. This needs to match the name of the plug-in DLL
assembly that was copied into the C:\Program Files\SpiraTeam\Bin folder (minus the .dll file
extension). If you renamed the JiraDataSync.dll file for any reason, then you need to change the
name here to match.

Description – this should be set to a description of the plug-in. This is an optional field that is
used for documentation purposes and is not actually used by the system.
