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.

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 Countermeasures to synchronize configuration so that fewer Countermeasures are in scope for synchronization.
