Registering Issue Management Systems in Workbench

In order to register a new DataStage Project with MettleCI you first need to be logged in as a DataStage Administrator. You can then access the project registration interface by clicking User → Manage Projects

You will then be presented with the new project list. On each project you can see that there is an ‘Issue Management’ column which allows you to configure the issue management system on a project by project basis.

It's possible that the ‘Default Issue Management’ System that is initially configured will not be the one that you want to use for the majority of your projects and you will have to update this manually. It would be tedious to have to input the required credentials each time a new DataStage Project is registered. Therefore you will only need to register each different ‘Issue Management System’ once for which you can then choose which projects to associate with.

Updating the default Issue Management System

Before we worry about configuring multiple issue management systems it would probably be best to set a default one that can be used for all currently registered projects.

First select User → Issue Management
To Configure the Default Issue Management System to be the same as the one we were using before the upgrade you will be required to change its type and enter your new details. Click on the Pencil (Edit) button
Select the Issue Management Type and set it to the type you would like to be the default for all projects. In this example we will be using Jira however there are also guides for Azure, Gitlab, ServiceNow
You will now want to fill out all the details for your particular Work item Management system Enter your Work Item system’s values into the page so that you have a form looking something like this:
Now you will be all of your currently registered projects will use this Jira configuration by default and you can choose to move to another issue management service or server by creating another configuration. To create additional issue management services simply click the [+] icon in the top right hand corner.
