Synchronising Versions and Components for your Issues

The 'Synchronise' feature in GreenHopper helps you to preserve the integrity of the versions/components hierarchy in your project by detecting and repairing missing versions/components in the project hierarchy. You can run the project synchronisation manually or configure it to automatically detect and fix problems via listeners, if you have the appropriate administrator permissions.

To synchronise versions/components for a project,

1. Log in as a user with the 'JIRA Administrators' global permission.
2. Click the 'Agile' link's down-arrow in the top navigation bar and select 'Planning Board' from the resulting dropdown menu. The 'Planning Board' will be displayed.
3. Click the 'Tools' menu and click 'Synchronise' from the dropdown. GreenHopper will synchronise your project versions/components for your project and display a confirmation window.

To configure GreenHopper to automatically synchronise versions/components,

1. Log in as a user with the 'JIRA Administrators' global permission.
2. Click the 'Administration' link on the top bar.
3. Select 'General Configuration' from the 'GreenHopper' section of the administration menu.
4. Check the 'Versions Synchroniser' and 'Components Synchroniser' checkboxes under the 'GreenHopper Listeners and Services' section. Your changes will be saved immediately, i.e. the next time a change occurs that breaks the version/component hierarchy, GreenHopper will automatically repair the missing associations.
