Configuring model 

When you install our Power portfolio apps SIL Engine™ is also automatically installed to your Jira, a mandatory dependency for all our apps. SIL Engine™ is the layer that bundles together some of the most important features of the apps. Specifically, it offers:

  1. The Simple Issue Language (or SIL™) itself and on top of it the pluggable module that adds all Jira functionality. It is the variable resolver that able to resolve an issue from a given context, new specific types, and many additional routines dealing with various aspects of Jira.
  2. Utilities of any kind.
  3. STL extension (SIL Template Language) used when rendering mails for instance.
  4. Common ground for all features: SQL access, LDAP access, remoting capabilities, and so on.
  5. SIL™ editor.

...

The configuration of any power portfolio app actually happens at two levels:

  1. Global (within SIL Engine™) – where you configure all the above-mentioned features.
  2. Local (within the respective app) – where you configure the app features.

Installing and updating SIL Engine™

SIL Engine™ is a usual app. The installing and updating procedure is the same as for any app, and is described in the Atlassian documentation.
