The 'Synchronise' feature in GreenHopper helps you to preserve the integrity of the versions/components hierarchy in your project by detecting and repairing missing versions/components in the project hierarchy. You can run the project synchronisation manually or configure it to automatically detect and fix problems via listeners, if you have the appropriate administrator permissions.

To synchronise versions/components for a project,

You must have the 'Administer Projects' permission for a particular project to synchronise versions/components.

  1. Log in as a user with the 'JIRA Administrators' global permission.
  2. Click the 'Agile' menu in the top navigation bar and select 'Planning Board' from the dropdown that displays. The 'Planning Board' will display.
  3. Click the 'Tools' menu and click 'Synchronise' from the dropdown. GreenHopper will synchronise your project versions/components for your project and display a confirmation window.


To configure GreenHopper to automatically synchronise versions/components,

You must have the 'JIRA Administrators' global permission to configure GreenHopper to automatically synchronise versions/components.

  1. Log in as a user with the 'JIRA Administrators' global permission.
  2. Bring up the administration page by clicking either the 'Administration' link on the top bar or the title of the Administration box on the dashboard.
  3. Click the 'GreenHopper' link under the 'Global Settings' section in the left navigation column. The 'GreenHopper Configuration' page will display.
  4. Check the 'Versions Synchroniser' and 'Components Synchroniser' checkboxes under the 'GreenHopper Listeners and Services' section. Your changes will be saved immediately, i.e. the next time a change occurs that breaks the version/component hierarchy, GreenHopper will automatically repair the missing associations.
