JSU Automation Suite for Jira Workflows: What happend with the workflows, if deinstalled

[Michael Beneke]

Hello Community,

we had the JSU Automation Suite for Jira Workflows installed and created workflows.

Will there be an issue with old workflows if the plugin is not in place anymore?

Thanks for info.

Hello @Michael Beneke,

Workflows that use an app like JSU will remain active after uninstalling.

Any conditions, validators etc. from JSU will simply not function (and an error will show in its place) but they won't be removed from the workflow.

So I'd recommend to perform a sanity check on all active workflows that are using JSU to ensure the missing functionality won't break any needed functionality after uninstalling. It would also be a good time to remove it from the workflow.

Kind Regards,

Laura

Thanks a lot Laura. Will have a look of to do a sanity check.

Hi Michael,

If you uninstall JSU, any post functions you created with the app will no longer function. They won't be deleted - they'll just show up as code and be hard to interpret. If you reinstall the app, they will begin working again.

Keep in mind that if you have complicated workflows, other post functions that relied on JSU post functions may break as well.

Hope that helps!

Thanks a lot Evn.

Perhpas you know, how to find all workflows, which were created with JSU?

I am new in this topic.

Have a nice evening.

Michael,

Absolutely! Navigate to Manage Apps, and on the left-hand sidebar, under "JSU" find "My Workflows". You can also type GG from your Jira Dashboard and type "My Workflows". This should show you every rule you have configured with JSU. Let me know if you have any trouble finding it.

Cheers,
Evn

Hello Evn, 

i tried, but as the trial licence is expired, i didn't see under JSU only the starting points.

JSU Auto....

   * Get Started

  * Maps Configuration

   * Setttings

Not more under this point.

The second way with GG i didn't got it. Where i have to type GG? 

I think with Admin Account. But on which Dashboard?

Thanks for your input.

Hi Michael,

"gg" is simply a helpful Jira Admin shortcut - it allows you to navigate quickly around Jira. It works almost anywhere in Jira; from a Dashboard, Board, or Issue View. It's not necessary in this case though.

Unfortunately, as your trial has expired, you may not have access to the My Workflows feature any longer. Sorry about that! If you installed JSU roughly 30 days ago, could you simply sort your Workflows by last updated, and take a look at any that were updated in that timeframe?

Cheers,
Evn

@Evn Tomeny [Appfire] , I'm interested in seeing this 'My Workflows' feature you speak of.  We have a valid license but are on DataCenter and I am NOT able to see the link only the options Micheal noted above.  What am I missing?

Hi @Silvia  ,
Since you are on DC, use the SQL query below to determine which workflows use extensions from JSU.

select * from jiraworkflows where descriptor like '%com.googlecode.jsu%' or descriptor like '%ch.beecom.jira.jsu%';

This returns all workflows that use JSU Post Function, validator, or Condition:
Hope this helps!

I am Reshma from Appfire, a vendor of JSU.

Thanks,
Reshma

Interesting. Thank you! So no path from the UI yet.
