Visibility Settings is the section of the configuration that defines when the Cross Connector should be visible on your Jira issues.
To configure this, navigate to TMS Component Activation and select Add Visibility Settings.
Fill in the following information (screenshot filled with mock data)
Jira Project
The project in which the Cross Connector should be visible.
Jira Issue Type
The Jira Issue Type for which the Cross Connector should be visible.
Customfield ID
The ID of your custom field that is being used to control visibility.
How to create a custom field and identify its ID can be found here: Working with Custom Fields
CustomField Values
The values of the custom field that will be used to control visibility of the Cross Connector UI block.
The values here are dependent on the type of custom field you use.
If you are unsure how the values of your custom field are stored you can use the following API call:
<JIRA_SERVER_URL>/plugins/servlet/crossalm/cc5/cc_transport_management?type=get-customfield-value&jiraIssueKey=<JIRA_ISSUE_KEY>&customfieldId=<CUSTOMFIELD_ID>
An example output:
{"customfieldId":"customfield_10113","value":"FSP"}
Jira Final Status
In this field place the status from the Issue Type chosen in the field Jira Issue Type with which the component will be rendered as read-only.
SAP Settings
Enables you to register multiple development systems to be used in your application. The development systems defined in this section will be available for the end user in the Dropdown List “Dev. System”.
SAP System Type
The SAP System Type for which transport requests will be created.
Currently, only ABAP systems are supported.
SAP Client
The SAP Client in which the transport requests will be created.
SAP CTS Project
In this field you can place the CTS project that is available in the SAP system.
Please note that the CTS Project Switches can affect the way in which the Transport Requests work.
Default Import Settings
With this Settings you can disable import Settings or check them by default.
Visibility of Activities
The checked activities will be visible. All unchecked activies will be hide.
Transport Description Settings
Here you can add a Template how the Transport Request Description should look like.
Issue fields can be added with {{issue.fields.fieldname}}.
{{description}} add the “short description” from create action.
After having finished creating a Visibility Setting you should see it on the list.
Note that you can have multiple Visibility Settings for different systems by pressing the button Add Visibility Settings again.
Verify
Create a new issue, where the value for the custom field you have specified has not yet been determined.
The “Cross Connector - Transport Management System” will not be visible.
Now place the value specified in the configuration.
I am using the field “Landscape” using a value “FSP” as indicated by the screenshots above.
Now the UI block is available and allows the creation of transport request for the specified system, provided you have the necessary authorization.
