Note

Jama Software tests Jama Connect Interchange using an AWS EC2 Ubuntu virtual machine. Performance is dependent on several factors such as the number of integrations and the items they are tracking to sync.

Network access

To view the application webpage, the host system must be reachable within the network. Ports 8080 and 443 must be opened on the host system.

The host system must be able to reach the systems that Interchange is integrating with via APIs. For a Jama Connect to Jira integration, both connectors use the REST API to integrate data. In this case, the host system must be able to reach both Jama Connect and Jira via the network on port 443.

TLS certificate

(Optional) Jama Connect Interchange can be configured to use TLS for added security. Have your TLS private key ready before installing Interchange.
