4. Enable and sync your import

When your import configuration is ready and you're about to start importing your data, enable your mappings and configuration, and then sync them.

On this page:

Enabling object type mappings

To enable the object mappings, in the upper-right corner of your type mapping configuration, open Settings gear, then select Enable.

Enable button in object type mapping settings

You can keep some mappings disabled if you're not ready to import the related data. This can be useful if you:

  • run an initial sync faster to test if the import works and can start importing.

  • want to avoid long sync times if many objects are expected to be synced from a specific mapping.

After initial testing, enable all mappings to perform a full sync. You can also sync only some of your object type mappings. In this case, enable your import configuration before you sync any mappings.

Enabling and syncing your import

To enable your import, in the upper-right corner of your import configuration, open Settings gear, and then select Enable.

Enable button in import settings

If your mappings are ready, select Synchronize for your whole configuration. This will sync any object type mappings that are enabled.

Configuring regular synchronization

If you haven't configured a regular sync when creating your import, you can do that any moment after you imported your data:

  1. In the upper-right corner of your import configuration, open Settings gear, then select Configure.

  2. Go to the Scheduling tab and configure your schedule.

    Scheduling fields

    Scheduling fields are used for keeping your data in sync:

    NameDescription
    Synchronizing Account

    The Jira user to use when synchronize data into Assets.

    For LDAP and database imports, the account used for synchronization must have Jira admin permissions.

    Cron ExpressionThe interval for the automatic synchronization.
    Automatically SynchronizeIf the import should be scheduled for automatic synchronization. Explore cron expressions
    NotificationsSelect the check box to notify all object schema managers when an import fails. 

  3. Select Update Import configuration.

Your data now syncs automatically as per the configured schedule.

Finishing up

If everything went smoothly, your data should be imported to your object types. If you're missing something, go back to your configuration and edit the fields or the mappings. Explore importing concepts
