Replicate Multiple Jira Accounts
Replicate multiple Jira accounts to one or many databases.
CData Sync is a stand-alone application that provides solutions for a variety of replication scenarios such as replicating sandbox and production instances into your database. CData Sync includes a web-based interface that makes it easy to manage multiple Jira connections. In this article we show how to use the web app to replicate multiple Jira accounts to a single database.
About Jira Data Integration
CData simplifies access and integration of live Jira data. Our customers leverage CData connectivity to:
- Gain bi-directional access to their Jira objects like issues, projects, and workflows.
- Use SQL stored procedures to perform functional actions like changing issues status, creating custom fields, download or uploading an attachment, modifying or retrieving time tracking settings, and more.
- Authenticate securely using a variety of methods, including username and password, OAuth, personal access token, API token, Crowd or OKTA SSO, LDAP, and more.
Most users leverage CData solutions to integrate Jira data with their database or data warehouse, whether that's using CData Sync directly or relying on CData's compatibility with platforms like SSIS or Azure Data Factory. Others are looking to get analytics and reporting on live Jira data from preferred analytics tools like Tableau and Power BI.

Getting Started
Configure the Replication Destination
Using CData Sync, you can replicate Jira data to any number of databases, both cloud-based and on-premises. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select a destination and enter the necessary connection properties. In this article, we use SQLite.
- Enter the necessary connection properties. To replicate Jira to a SQLite database, enter a file path in the Data Source box.
- Click Test Connection to ensure that the connection is configured properly.

- Click Save Changes.
Configure Jira Connections
You can configure connections to Jira from the Connections tab. To add a connection to one of your Jira accounts, navigate to the Connections tab. For each Jira account you wish to replicate, do the following:
- Click Add Connection.
- Select a source (Jira).
- Configure the connection properties.
To connect to JIRA, provide the User and Password. Additionally, provide the Url; for example, https://yoursitename.atlassian.net.

- Click Connect to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
- Click Save Changes.
Configure Queries for Each Jira Instance
CData Sync enables you to control replication with a point-and-click interface and with SQL queries. To configure a replication, navigate to the Jobs tab and click Add Job. Select the Source and Destination for your replication.
Replicate Entire Tables
To replicate an entire table, click Add Tables in the Tables section, choose the table(s) you wish to replicate, and click Add Selected Tables.
Customize Your Replication
You can use a SQL query to customize your replication. The REPLICATE statement is a high-level command that caches and maintains a table in your database. You can define any SELECT query supported by the Jira API. To customize your replication, click Add Custom Query in the Tables section and define the Query Statement.
The statement below caches and incrementally updates a table of Jira data:
REPLICATE Issues;
You can specify a file containing the replication queries you want to use to update a particular database. Separate replication statements with semicolons. The following options are useful if you are replicating multiple Jira accounts into the same database:
-
Use a different table prefix in the REPLICATE SELECT statement:
REPLICATE PROD_Issues SELECT * FROM Issues; -
Alternatively, use a different schema:
REPLICATE PROD.Issues SELECT * FROM Issues;
Schedule Your Replication
In the Schedule section, you can schedule a job to run automatically, configuring the job to run after specified intervals ranging from once every 10 minutes to once every month.
Once you have configured the replication job, click Save Changes. You can configure any number of jobs to manage the replication of the data from your different Jira accounts.
