There are certain cases when you need to stop an issue synchronization at some point. Exalate has a built-in feature that helps to stop synchronizing an issue.
A typical use case is 'Move issue from one instance to another' which is actually the sequence:
- Exalate Issue
- Unexalate Issue
- Delete local issue
There are multiple ways to stop issue synchronization:
- Unexalate button
- Post-function
- By using API
Unexalate button
You can use the Unexalate operation directly on an issue. More details.
Make sure that all synchronization messages have been processed before using Unexalate issue operation.
Post-function
JIRA includes several post functions that can be added to transitions. The Exalate app provides Unexalate Now post function.
You can add it after a certain transition in the workflow on JIRA on-premise.
By using API
This method is applicable only to Jira on-premise.
You can also remove sync data by different criteria like an issue, or a connection, or remove the whole synchronization info using a clean-up tool.
