Connect to Jira Assets Data in DBArtisan

The CData ODBC Driver for Jira Assets seamlessly integrates Jira Assets data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access Jira Assets data as a database. This article shows how to create an data source for Jira Assets in DBArtisan and execute queries. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.

Integrate Jira Assets Data into DBArtisan Projects

If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.

Jira Assets supports connecting and authenticating via the APIToken.

To generate an API token:

1. Log in to your Atlassian account.
2. Navigate to Security < Create and manage API Token < Create API Token.

Atlassian generates and then displays the API token.

After you have generated the API token, set these parameters:

• AuthScheme: APIToken.
• User: The login of the authenticating user.
• APIToken: The API token you just generated.

You are now ready to connect and authenticate to Jira Assets.

You can then follow the steps below to register Jira Assets data as a database instance in your project:

1. In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
2. Select Generic ODBC.
3. Enter a name for the data source and select the DSN.
4. Finish the wizard to connect to Jira Assets data. Jira Assets entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.

You can now work with Jira Assets data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the Jira Assets API.
