Is it possible to connect JIRA to SAP HANA?

Suneet Agera August 5, 2015

SAP HANA in-memory database provides a jdbc driver as part of its client package software. One of the requirements is to read enterprise data stored in HANA DB and do issue management from JIRA. Is it possible to connect JIRA to HANA using the jdbc driver of HANA (ngdbc.jar)

Sure, why not? This will be just pure jdbc connection.

Other question you should ask yourself is what do you mean by "issue management from JIRA". Answering this question you should come to understanding of what kind of JIRA plugin you need/want to develop.

Thanks Volodymyr,

I suspected so, but the link https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Supported+Platforms made me wonder since it says only a few are supported databases. But I suspect that only means that JIRA support team will support those DBs, not that jdbc is not supported for other DBs.

Also thanks for the plugin development links.

Suneet, yes - these are databases that JIRA can live on. In your case JIRA stays on its own DB and from your plugin you connect to other DB.
