Understanding differences

IssueSYNC for Jira Server/Data center has different architecture comparing to cloud version. In this chapter you will find what applies to which app version.

(1) Synchronization between different distribution types (Server/DC/Cloud)

Cloud <-> Cloud (see IssueSYNC Cloud) Cloud <-> Server (see How to synchronize Server <-> Cloud) Server <-> Server

(2) Local vs remote (Server/DC only)

You can synchronize with:

• remote Jira instance
• same Jira instance (create Connection using baseURL)

• High isolation level between projects (for example, each project is for different customer)
• Exchange requests between departments but don’t want or can use move operation

(3) Behind firewall (Server/DC only)

If one of your Jira instance is behind a firewall you still can synchronize with it using ‘passive’ mode. See Setup Connection URL & User for more.

(4) Directions (Server/DC/Cloud)

There are several options you can setup your synchronization:

• one way
• two way
• broadcast from one instance to several others
