jira_timemachine

This package copies worklogs from a source JIRA to an issue in a destination JIRA. It's idempotent: rerunning it updates already copied worklogs instead of duplicating them.

To re-write your worklog for the last three days from one JIRA to another, use timemachine command:

timemachine --config example_config/config.json --days 3

Check the example config for the needed fields; both JIRA and Tempo require personal access tokens, see <https://support.atlassian.com/atlassian-account/docs/manage-api-tokens-for-your-atlassian-account/> and <https://apidocs.tempo.io/>.

Note

Timemachine will use regular JIRA's worklogs to read worklogs from if you won't have tempo_token configuration key, or have it empty.

Issue mapping

In a simple case, all worklogs are copied into a single destination JIRA issue: specify it as the destination_jira.issue key in the config.

To copy worklogs of specific other issues to different issues, specify them in the issue_map config key: it's an object with keys of source JIRA keys mapped to destination JIRA views. If a key is missing, destination_jira.issue is used to choose the target issue.

Running timemachine again does not move existing worklogs. Do not remove destination issues from the issue_map while they have matching worklogs: only known destination issues are searched for copied worklogs, ones present elsewhere will be duplicated.

Tempo dependency

The destination JIRA must have the Tempo plugin. It is optional for the source JIRA (and the timecheck command can be used as an alternative to the builtin JIRA time tracking reports).

When source JIRA has Tempo and its token is provided, timemachine accesses all worklogs of the user; if Tempo is not used, only a single project (specified via project_key) is synchronized.

In case of the source JIRA gaining or losing Tempo (and the configuration having the token only when Tempo is used), we attempt to keep timemachine idempotent: worklogs are identified by their JIRA IDs, not Tempo IDs.

Use via Docker

Run timemachine:

docker run --rm -v $PWD/example_config:/config clearcode/jira_timemachine:v1.0.1 timemachine --config /config/config.json

Run timecheck:

docker run --rm -v $PWD/example_config:/config clearcode/jira_timemachine:v1.0.1 timecheck --config /config/config.json

Example configs

Mapping worklogs from the source.atlassian.net jira project JIRA to the ARIJ-123 issue on destination.atlassian.net:

{
  "source_jira": {
    "url": "https://source.atlassian.net",
    "email": "login@login.com",
    "jira_token": "",
    "project_key": "JIRA",
    "tempo_token": ""
  },
  "destination_jira": {
    "url": "https://destination.atlassian.net",
    "email": "login@login.com",
    "jira_token": "",
    "issue": "ARIJ-123",
    "tempo_token": ""
  },
  "issue_map": {
  }
}

Mapping JIRA-101 to ARIJ-1, JIRA-102 to ARIJ-2 and every other issue to ARIJ-3:

{
  "source_jira": {
    "url": "https://source.atlassian.net",
    "email": "login@login.com",
    "jira_token": "",
    "project_key": "JIRA",
    "tempo_token": ""
  },
  "destination_jira": {
    "url": "https://destination.atlassian.net",
    "email": "login@login.com",
    "jira_token": "",
    "issue": "ARIJ-3",
    "tempo_token": ""
  },
  "issue_map": {
    "JIRA-101": "ARIJ-1",
    "JIRA-102": "ARIJ-2"
  }
}

In any of these examples, provide your own tokens; delete the tempo_token field in source_jira or leave it blank if that JIRA has no Tempo plugin.
