Troubleshooting
The guidelines below cover general cases where an Issue Tracker integration is not working and what may help to remedy it. For help with a specific tool, please refer to its documentation, or reach out to the SD Elements support team.
Cannot connect to the Issue Tracker server
- 
SD Elements can only connect to the Issue Tracker server through a proxy:
- 
Configure the server to support the proxy.
 
 - 
 - 
The Issue Tracker server is installed in a custom location
- 
Configure the Context Root setting for the correct value.
 
 - 
 
HTTPS certificate validation fails
- 
Uncheck the Enforce Certificate Validation option.
- 
This option should not be unchecked in production contexts.
 
 - 
 - 
Install the signing certificate on the SD Elements server.
 - 
The organization rewrites the certificates used in SSL/TLS connections.
- 
Add the organization signing CA certificate to the SD Elements server.
 
 - 
 
There is no access to the Issue Tracker server
- 
"No route to host" is a typical indication.
- 
Work with support teams to facilitate a solution.
 - 
It may indicate a DNS or connectivity issue.
 
 - 
 - 
A firewall or IPS may be blocking the traffic
- 
Request an exemption for the traffic from the SD Elements server to the Issue Tracker server.
 - 
The connection is typically HTTPS, which uses TCP and port 443.
 
 - 
 - 
Consider using the Remote Integration Agent if SD Elements cannot directly access the Issue Tracker server.
 
Cannot create issue/task in Issue Tracker project
- 
The user doesn’t have sufficient permission to create issues
- 
Update the permission of the user in the Issue Tracker.
 - 
Update the connector with a new username/password or token that has the needed permissions.
 
 - 
 - 
Required fields are missing values
- 
Update the Custom Field Mapping configuration with the required fields.
 
 - 
 - 
The priority value is not set correctly
- 
Update the Custom Priority Mapping configuration to match the project’s requirements.
 
 - 
 - 
The Issue Type is incorrect
- 
Confirm the type of issue in the sync configuration is valid for the Issue Tracker project.
 
 - 
 
Timeout
- 
The latency between SD Elements and the Issue Tracker server is too high
- 
Investigate whether a proxy is slowing down the connection.
 - 
Extend the integration timeout from 10 minutes (default) to a larger amount.
 - 
Modify the Tasks to synchronize configuration so that fewer tasks are in scope for synchronization.
 
 -
