AEM 65 - Integrating AEM Projects with JIRA for Task Management

Goal


If AEM Inbox (http://localhost:4502/aem/inbox) is not enough for the customer's Task Management needs and would like to integrate with a more complex Task management system like Atlassian JIRA you can try the following solution..

Here the scenario is, gather a team (years of experience using JIRA) for review, approve and publish a bunch of Sites pages. The users are good with JIRA and would like to continue using JIRA, rather than getting trained in a new task management software (AEM Inbox) for assigning and completing the respective tasks.

The solution discussed below uses AEM Projects and Workflow processes for setting up a team, assign tasks for approving and publishing the pages using otb Request for Activation workflow

Check this Adobe tutorial for creating projects

For downloading jira check this page, and this one for REST api

Demo | Package Install | Github


AEM JIRA Integration Project Setup & Execution

1) Select the template Experience AEM Approve Pages and Assets Project (available in Package Install) to create a new project for reviewing the pages



2) Add the users (team) responsible for completing the review and publish page task



3) In the Workflows pod click on Start Workflow (project template is setup with workflow models for projects created using this template)



4) Select the workflow Experience AEM Request for Activation



5) Select the page path and user responsible for reviewing, approving and publishing the page (steps in workflow process)



6) A Task is created in JIRA and assigned to the respective user (assuming the user has same id in AEM and JIRA; additionally a task is created in AEM Inbox). The expectation is, user clicks on AEM page link in ticket description, publishes the page and resolves ticket in JIRA....



Solution


1) Create the AEM project template Experience AEM Approve Pages and Assets Project  /apps/eaem-review-assets-jira-tasks/projects/templates/approve-assets-project (available  in Package Install) with the pods for Team, Tasks, Workflows, Project Info...

2) Line #46 with workflow model /var/workflow/models/request_for_activation specifies projects created using this template have access to workflow Experience AEM Request for Activation from the workflow pod

3) The workflow wizard /apps/eaem-review-assets-jira-tasks/projects/wizards/assets-approval-start.html in Line # 47 provides the necessary form for entering workflow specific information like payload, assignee...

4) Create a workflow process step apps.experienceaem.assets.EAEMJiraWFProcess for executing REST calls and create tasks / tickets in JIRA (in the demo a JIRA instance is running locally on http://localhost:8080)

5) Add a workflow step Experience AEM - Create Ticket in JIRA with above process in the workflow Experience AEM Request for Activation

                   http://localhost:4502/editor.html/conf/global/settings/workflow/models/request_for_activation.html



6) Add the JIRA Project key, admin Username and Password in workflow step OSGI configuration

                   http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr/apps.experienceaem.assets.EAEMJiraWFProcess
