Use Cases
Introduction
Integrity Check is the perfect tool to locate and resolve configuration problems within your Jira instance. You can run integrity checks on the whole Jira system or on specific subsets.
Find and resolve configuration errors in Jira
Use Integrity Check to locate configuration errors in your Jira preventing you from accomplishing your everyday activities or creating and deploying Configuration Manager snapshots.
Integrity Check locates the errors and provides full details of the error locations and root causes. In addition to that, it offers you quick fix actions that automatically solve some of the most common problems found in Jira.
You can learn more about using Integrity Check as part of Configuration Manager for Jira in our documentation.
Resolve errors preventing you from performing everyday tasks
As we already mentioned, Integrity Check’s primary use case is to help you find and fix errors in Jira that prevent you from performing your everyday activities. For example, workflow post functions or validators referring to missing fields will lead to unexpected end-user behavior when working with Jira issues. In addition, a broken filter referring to missing configuration elements (like custom fields, workflows, etc.) will prevent you from easily finding issues and necessary information. Learn more
Resolve errors preventing you from creating and deploying Configuration Manager snapshots
When you get Configuration Manager for Jira, you also get Integrity Check as a part of it. You can use Integrity Check to find, report, and resolve errors, which stop you from creating or deploying snapshots. In this case, you have one additional integrity check scope called the snapshot scope. It allows you to run all checks on the last failed snapshot and rerun the snapshot creation after resolving the errors found. Learn more
Improve Jira's performance and efficiency
You can use Integrity Check to find errors that have become bottlenecks in your configuration and slow down the performance of your Jira instance.
For example, you might have many agile boards and dashboards that aren't used anywhere or refer to missing filters, causing performance degradation of your Jira system. Clearing all those boards will improve the efficiency and performance of a Jira instance.
However, those errors can't be resolved using Jira's UI. They can only be resolved by manually manipulating the database, which is a time-consuming and error-prone task. Integrity Check allows you to safely fix all these errors automatically.
You can use Integrity Check's Bulk quick fix feature to fix all errors detected simultaneously. As a result, your Jira will speed up and become more productive after resolving the detected integrity faults altogether in one swift action.
Maintaining your Jira's performance and productivity is an ongoing effort. That’s why, with the help of Integrity Check, you can easily ensure everything is in order with your Jira system.
