Overview

The integrity checker searches for common data inconsistencies in the T4J data and attempts to keep the data in a consistent state. It also comes with a repair function which, in case of errors, attempts to reset the data to a stable state.

Performing Integrity Checks

  1. Login as Jira Administrator.

  2. Choose Cog icon > Add-ons.

  3. Select T4J - Test Management for Jira > Integrity Check from the sidebar.
     Keyboard shortcut 'g' + 'g' + start typing 'Integrity Check'.

  4. Select one or more items whose data you would like to check the integrity of.

  5. Click the Check button to perform the integrity check.

  6. After the integrity checker run, the result of the check will be shown.
    The result contains passed test as well as information about the found inconsistencies.
    In case any inconsistencies were found during the run then T4J can attempt to correct them and bring your data to a stable state again. 
    To initiate the correction, select any inconsistencies you would like to correct and click the Fix button. 
     Important: It is strongly recommended taking a backup before trying to correct any inconsistencies.

  7. If you chose to correct any inconsistencies, you will be presented with the result of the actions that have taken place.
