  • Provide a unique name and optionally description

  • Define properties for the new issue tracking system. Properties are configuration values used by FlexDeploy to connect to the new system. The values of the properties that you define here are set on Issue Tracking Instances, folders, and projects.

    • If you define properties, you can indicate display and validation details. You can also indicate if a property is required and/or encrypted.

    • Enter a unique Name before adding any properties

  • Provide either Java Implementation or Groovy API. If both are supplied, the Java Implementation is used. Java implementation means that you are giving the classpath for a java class which you are placing the jar for in the libext folder. Groovy is defined on the Groovy Api tab. A Groovy script would allow for dynamic update, whereas use of Java code will require restart of server.

  • Click Save.

Here we are editing a custom issue tracking system with properties. You can add existing properties using the drop down on the create button.

...

API Implementation

  •  Complete this section.

Your Implementation must include the following methods extend https://flexagon.com/function-sdk/7.0/flexagon/fd/model/integration/its/api/IssueTrackingSystem.html in order to be used by FlexDeploy. If you are not going to allow updating ticketscalling a method, you can leave the body blank, or throw an error in the body, but the method must be defined.

...

Method Name

...

Parameter(s)

...

Return Type

...

Description

...

populateTicket

...

Ticket pTicket

...

void

...

This method should call the issue Tracking System using the ticket number (pTicket.getNumber()) and set the Description and Type

...

getTicketURL

...

Ticket pTicket

...

String

...

This method should construct the URL to access the ticket, which is used to link from FlexDeploy. (Ex. http://<hostname>:<port>/redmine/issues/<issuenumber>.json)

...

addCommentToTicket

...

Ticket pTicket,

String pComment

...

void

...

Adding pComment to the ticket. The ticket number (pTicket.getNumber()) from Ticket object should be used to get the Ticket and add the comment.

...

changeTicketStatusTo

...

Ticket pTicket,

String pStatus

...

void

...

Change the status of the ticket to pStatus. The ticket number (pTicket.getNumber()) from Ticket object should be used to get the Ticket and change the status. The status passed into the function is the status id.

...

getTicketStatus

...

Ticket pTicket

...

String

...

Get the current status of the ticket. The ticket number (pTicket.getNumber()) from Ticket object should be used to get the Ticket status.

...

checkConnection

...

void

...

This should invoke any status or heath check URL of the issue tracking system to ensure the system is up and running and FlexDeploy can connect with the provided credentials

...

parseTicketNumberFromChangeLogs

...

String pProjectName,

List<String> pMessagesToParse,

List<String> pTicketPatternList

...

Collection<String>

...

pProjectName - name of the project for which the Issue tracking system is configured

pMessageToParse - list of string from the SCM commit logs

pTicketPatternList  - pattern configured in the project or for the issues tracking system.

Add a custom rule by project to parse the message log string using single or multiple patterns. You can also use a different pattern list. Should return a unique list of ticket numbers

Java Implementation

Here are the high level steps for a Java implementation. You can use any IDE to prepare this implementation. 

...

If you choose to make a Java implementation, your IDE will verify that you have implemented all the required methods. If you choose the Groovy implementation, then the FlexDeploy UI will validate that your class contains the necessary methods. Groovy implementations can be used even with 3rd party jars that you place in libext, and allow for easier iterations. The advantage of a Java implementation is a potentially tighter integration with source control.

Java Implementation

Here are the high level steps for a Java implementation. You can use any IDE to prepare this implementation. 

  • Create java class that extends flexagon.fd.model.integration.its.api.IssueTrackingSystem. Example shown below has testConnection method implemented which uses properties map to retrieve the configuration values to connect to the issue tracking system.

  • All properties defined are available in Map returned by getProperties method.

  • In order to compile your java class, you will need FlexDeployAPI.jar on classpath.

  • Implement all the methods described in the table in the API Implementation section.

  • For any failure connecting to the system or if any issues with the data, then you can throw exception. For example throw new ApiException("Invalid credentials.", "");

  • Once you are ready with unit testing, you can prepare Jar file for your credential store java class and other utility classes. This jar file can be placed on server classpath now.

    • Put this jar file in apache-tomcat-flexdeploy/libext folder.

    • If you are using any third party libraries from your Java implementation, then those jar files will also need to be added to same libext folder.

  •  Update this jar file

Groovy Implementation

Here are the high level steps for a Groovy implementation. You can use any IDE to prepare this implementation. 

As groovy is able to access FlexDeploy variables and Java classes, you can take advantage of Java libraries from Groovy script. For example, if there is Java library used to access the issue tracking system, you can places those in lib folder and use those classes from Groovy script. This allows you to keep dynamic part of implementation in Groovy and use Java library.

  • Create a groovy class. Example shown below has testConnection and other methods implemented.

  • All properties defined are available as groovy binding variables. For example, properties can be accessed directly like REDMINE_URL, REDMINE_USER_NAME, REDMINE_PASSWORD, etc,

Example groovy RedmineIssueTrackingSystem.groovy
Code Block
languagegroovy
import flexagon.fd.model.integration.its.api.Ticket; import flexagon.fd.model.integration.util.ApiException; class RedmineIssueTrackingSystem { def checkConnection() { String methodName = "checkConnection()"; try { fdrestutils.testConnection(REDMINE_URL, "/projects/1/versions.json", REDMINE_USER_NMAE, REDMINE_PASSWORD) } catch (Exception e) { log.logInfo(methodName, " Failed in Test connection" + e.getMessage() + " " + e) throw new ApiException("Connection failed. " + e.getMessage()); }
throw new ApiException(e);
    }

    JsonObject jsonObject = RestService.readJsonObject(response.getResponseString());
    if (jsonObject != null)

      javax.json.JsonObject issue = jsonObject.getJsonObject("issue");
      if (issue != null)
      {
        ticket.setDescription(issue.getString("description"));
        javax.json.JsonObject tracker = issue.getJsonObject("tracker");
        if (tracker != null)
        {

  • In order to compile your java class, you will need FlexDeployAPI.jar on classpath.

  • Implement all the methods defined by https://flexagon.com/function-sdk/7.0/flexagon/fd/model/integration/its/api/IssueTrackingSystem.html .

  • For any failure connecting to the system or if any issues with the data, then you can throw exception. For example throw new ApiException("Invalid credentials.", "");

  • Once you are ready with unit testing, you can prepare Jar file for your credential store java class and other utility classes. This jar file can be placed on server classpath now.

    • Put this jar file in apache-tomcat-flexdeploy/libext folder.

    • If you are using any third party libraries from your Java implementation, then those jar files will also need to be added to same libext folder.

Groovy Implementation

Here are the high level steps for a Groovy implementation. You can use any IDE to prepare this implementation. 

As groovy is able to access FlexDeploy variables and Java classes, you can take advantage of Java libraries from Groovy script. For example, if there is Java library used to access the issue tracking system, you can places those in lib folder and use those classes from Groovy script. This allows you to keep dynamic part of implementation in Groovy and use Java library.
