JIRA Integration: Can't find proper project

[Thomas Achleitner]

I have setup and configured jira integration:
jira 4.4.4
versionone 11.3.0.9

The integration is configured without project mapping. The documentation says that this should be possible:

If it cannot find a VersionOne project with a name that matches the JIRA Project, the integration will create the defect in the root level node of the VersionOne Project tree or in the first Project in the list if there are multiple top level nodes

Starting the service the integration fails with the following error:
[INFO] 17-01-2012 10:56:03 Starting processing...
[INFO] 17-01-2012 10:56:03 Getting issues from JIRA.

What could be wrong with my configuration?

Thomas,

Thanks for your interest in V1JIRA. Sorry that you are having some
problems with getting it running.

I confirm the instructions are correct. You do not need a mapping. The
logic works as follows:
1. Look for mappings. V1JIRA expect that Project IDs in mappings are
valid, otherwise items cannot be created. In other words, an invalid
mapping is not the same as no mapping.
2. If there is no mapping, V1JIRA looks for first available VersionOne
project with the same name as the JIRA project.
3. If no VersionOne project matches, V1JIRA uses the first accessible
(root) project from list of all available projects.

Although we can rule out your choice of no mapping, there could be
other configuration options causing the problem. If you strip the
username and password, you can post the .config file here and we can
try to troubleshoot. Or you can also open a support case by emailing
sup...@versionone.com (the .config file is still key to
troubleshooting).

Yours truly,
Ian Buchanan
Product Manager for Platform and Integrations
