Connection details

The following table describes the basic connection properties:

Use Secret Vault
Stores sensitive credentials for this connection in the secrets manager that is configured for your organization.
This property appears only if secrets manager is set up for your organization.
This property is not supported by Mass Ingestion.
When you enable the secret vault in the connection, you can select which credentials that the Secure Agent retrieves from the secrets manager. If you don't enable this option, the credentials are stored in the repository or on a local Secure Agent, depending on how your organization is configured.
For information about how to configure and use a secrets manager, see Secrets manager configuration.
Runtime Environment
The name of the runtime environment where you want to run tasks.
Select a Secure Agent, Hosted Agent, or serverless runtime environment.
Hosted Agent doesn't apply to mappings in advanced mode.
You cannot run application ingestion tasks and database ingestion tasks on a Hosted Agent or serverless runtime environment.
Username
User name of the JIRA account.
Password
Password of the JIRA account.
URI
The base URL of your Jira instance.
For example, if your JIRA instance is hosted at mycompany.atlassian.net, the URI is https://mycompany.atlassian.net/.

Advanced settings

The following table describes the advanced connection properties:
Property
Description
UTC Offset
Appends the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to your datetime field to represent the time in your time zone.
Select the UTC offset from the list based on your time zone.
The adjustment to UTC yields the local time based on your region. UTC is expressed as UTC±, with a plus sign (+) that indicates time ahead of UTC and a minus sign (-) indicates time behind UTC. For instance, if your location is 5 hours ahead of UTC, select UTC+5. If your location is 3 hours behind UTC, select UTC-3.
Default is UTC.
Enable Logging
Enables logging for the connector.
Select the checkbox to enable logging when you create a connection, and use the connection to import metadata and run tasks.
You can access the connection and design time logs in the Tomcat in the following location: <Secure Agent installation directory>\apps\Data_Integration_Server\logs\tomcat
For the runtime logs, see the session log in the My Jobs page.
