Requirements

Power Actions 4.0 is only compatible with Jira versions higher than or equal to 7.0.0. In order to use it, the JDK version must be at level 8.

The version 4.0.0 bundles the KATL-common and Warden plugins and it's upward compatible, which means that it works with any 4.x version of the dependencies. For further explanation, see the Installation Notes chapter.

Installation via Atlassian Universal Plugin Manager

If you are connected to the Atlassian Marketplace website from your Jira administration console, you can install Power Actions directly from the Marketplace. 

  1. Log into your Jira as Admin.
  2. In the cog wheel menu, go to Add-ons.
  3. In the search field of the Find new add-ons section, search for Power Actions.

For more information, see Atlassian documentation on installing apps.
This installation method is the quickest way. You can also install by file upload, as described in the next section.

Installing by file upload

  1. Download the Power Actions file from the Atlassian Marketplace.
  2. Log into your Jira as Admin.
  3. From Jira administration console, click the Manage add-ons link.
  4. Click Upload add-on and select the file you downloaded, and click Upload.
  5. (Optional, but highly recommended) Enable logging on our modules.
    To do that, 

    1. Open the Jira log4j configuration file: JIRA_INSTALL_DIR/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.propertieswith a text editor of your choice and add the following lines at the end of it.

      log4j.logger.com.keplerrominfo=INFO, filelog
log4j.additivity.com.keplerrominfo=false
    2. Restart Jira.


Installation Notes

Power Actions consists of the following Jira apps:

  1. Warden app — responsible for licensing of the cPrime products. This app is not published on the Atlassian Marketplace, however is it bundled with all our paid apps
  2. KATL-Commons — provides all SIL functionalities and common services built over Jira
  3. Power Actions app — contains custom made actions and wizards to be performed in the view screen of the Jira issue

KATL-Commons and Warden are shared across our line of products. If you disable any of those, the functionality built on top of it / them will stop working. 

Unlike Warden, KATL-Commons is published on Atlassian Marketplace and updates that are compatible for this app should be installed as soon as they appear, since they contain bug fixes and enhancements.

What should I do if I installed an incompatible version?

  1. Uninstall Power Actions for Jira.
  2. Uninstall the Warden app.
  3. Uninstall the KATL-Commons app.

  4. Install the necessary version of the Power Actions, the one compatible with your Jira.
    KATL-Commons and Warden should now have the right versions as well.

  5. Check any dependent app, such as Power Scripts for Jira or Power Custom Fields PRO, etc. Note that these apps must be re-enabled manually.
