Overview

The Troubleshooting and Support screen allows:

• refreshing all add-on data and a check on issues pending automating transitioning (Reindexing tab)
• creating a zip file containing useful information about your instance to send via email when requesting Herzum support (Support Request tab)

• running the removal of the Approval Condition automatically added to all workflow when installing the add-on (Workflow Cleaning tab)

  Notice that it is expected that on uninstalling the add-on the Approval Conditions are automatically removed and this operation is suggested for troubleshooting exclusively.

  Do not remove the Approval Condition from the workflows to allow the add-on working properly.

  If you have removed the condition from the workflows erroneously, you can restore it by running a re-indexing.

Reindexing

Navigate the Reindexing tab on the Troubleshooting and Support screen.

When clicking Re-index the add-on will perform a Refresh of add-on data and a Check on issues pending automating transitioning.

Refresh of add-on data

The actions automatically performed by the add-on include the following:

• Workflow Cleaning - for each workflow, exception made for the Default JIRA Workflow, the routine removes the approval condition on each transition.
• Restore Approval Conditions on the Workflows - for each workflow, exception made for the Default JIRA Workflow, the routine adds the approval condition on each transition.
• update the user list separator. For each Approval, the routine checks, on the Users field, if the user list separator is the comma. If the check returns true, the separator ',' is replaced by the separator '&'.
• grant the user set on AWT global setting with permission to run workflow transition  on all projects.
• check  Approval Mapping data consistency - if any Approval Mapping  has Issue Type id, Project id, Source status id  or Transition id  that do not exist anymore in JIRA database, the Approval Mapping is deleted.
• check Issue Approval data consistency.- if any Issue Approval has a Source status ,id Approval id or Transition id that do not exist anymore in JIRA database, the Issue Approval is cleaned.
• check the Permissions -> Approval Request -> Projects which have been enabled via the Permissions administration screen showed below - If the Project doesn't exist anymore in JIRA database, data are cleaned.
  
• check the Permissions -> Define approval for single issue - Projects  via the Permissions administration screen showed below   - If the Project doesn't exist anymore in JIRA database, data are cleaned.
  
• check the Permissions to notify an Approval Request via the Permissions administration screen showed below - If the Project and/or the Issue Type don't exist anymore in JIRA database, data are cleaned.
  
• check the Permissions to display the Issue Approval button - If the Project and/or the Issue Type don't exist anymore in JIRA database, data are cleaned
  

Check on issues pending automating transitioning 

The actions automatically performed by the add-on include the following:

• check if existing condition/s and/or validator/s on same workflow/s have not allowed to automatically transition one/more issue/s. If any issue exists, the number of affected issues is displayed and it's allowed to bulk transitioning them.
  
  

   

  When clicking Yes the add-on will re-try to transitioning the issues by checking again if existing validators and conditions are validated.

  If existing validators and conditions are still not validated for some issues the sys-admin can choose to Force issue transitioning (issues are transitioned without running workflow's post functions and checking conditions and validators).

  

  Click on the counter of the affected issues to display the issues that are candidate to be transitioned across the workflow.

  Issues are displayed on the JIRA issue navigator.

  

WorkFlow Cleaning

Navigate the Workflow Cleaning tab on the Troubleshooting and Support screen.

Just click Remove Approval Condition to remove the Approval conditions from all transitions of each workflow.

If all workflows have been successful cleaned a message informing is returned.

If any workflow has not been successful cleaned a message reports the list of workflows still affected by Approval Conditions.

Support Request

Navigate the Support Request tab on the Troubleshooting and Support screen.

Accomplish the suggested steps to generate a file reporting information extracted from your JIRA instance.
