Focused Build ITPPM Fields

This article shows how to configure the synchronization of the Focused Build ITPPM fields. In detail, the fields “Project” and “Wave” are configured in this example. The configuration shows both directions, Jira → SolMan and SolMan → Jira.

IMPORTANT: The field “Project” is only used to display the assigned Focused Build project in Jira. It does not have any impact on the Jira project the ticket is assigned to.

This use case was configured for CC4 with the following versions:

  • Jira app: 1.4.11

  • SAP: 2.3.0

SAP version 2.3.0 is at least required to synchronize ITPPM fields.
