Jira + IBM DOORS Next Integration FAQs

Is there a free trial available?

Yes. OSLC Connect for Jira can be downloaded and tried for free for 30 days directly through the Atlassian Marketplace. Click here to get the app.

How much is OSLC Connect for Jira?
OSLC Connect for Jira pricing depends on your Jira user tiers. For Data Center, pricing is available on our app listing on the Atlassian Marketplace. Click here for Data Center pricing. 
Does the integration synchronize or copy requirement data into Jira?
No. OSLC maintains a federated architecture: requirements remain in DOORS Next, issues remain in Jira. Instead of syncing data, OSLC Connect for Jira provides dynamic previews, rich link navigation, and cross-tool visibility. This avoids duplication, ensures accuracy, and aligns with enterprise IT expectations for security and repository integrity.
Can Jira users create or link to DOORS Next requirements?

Yes. Jira users can create, select, or link requirements from within Jira using native DOORS Next selection dialogs. They can also drag-and-drop DOORS items or paste URLs to create OSLC links. Administrators can restrict which link types or actions are allowed to enforce organizational process rules.

Does the integration support Global Configurations (GC)?

Absolutely. When a user navigates between Jira and DOORS Next, the integration automatically brings them into the correct global configuration. Jira issues can represent different versions linked to different requirement baselines, ensuring precise traceability across variants and releases. This is one of the most powerful capabilities for systems engineering teams.

Can we run lifecycle reports that include Jira and DOORS data together?

Yes. The integration exposes Jira artifacts and their attributes into IBM’s reporting infrastructure (LQE, Report Builder). Teams can build cross-tool reports showing requirement coverage, implementation progress, defect impact, change sets, and more, supporting compliance, analytics, and decision-making.

Is the integration available for Jira Cloud?

SodiusWillert will soon be releasing OSLC Connect for Jira Cloud, designed with a cloud-native approach while preserving OSLC principles. It introduces a Links Explorer interface that simplifies link visualization and creation on Jira Cloud, maintaining connection with DOORS Next and IBM ELM tools. General availability is expected January 2026. You can sign up to our email notification list to be notified of its release here.

What kind of support is included with the solution?

Support includes standard SodiusWillert enterprise support: assistance with configuration, troubleshooting, onboarding guidance, and best practices for OSLC across your IBM ELM and Jira environments. As with all SodiusWillert enterprise integrations, the solution is designed to meet expectations for scalability, performance, security, and IT supportability.

How do we get help if we have questions during the trial?

During your evaluation, you can contact the SodiusWillert support team for technical questions, setup guidance, and best practices. You can access our Support portal here.
