Backup & Restore

Plugin configuration is being automatically backed up and restored. It is included into JIRA backup/restore functionality. Remember, though, that the templates are stored in the file system on JIRA server and they have to be (like the issue attachments) backed up separately. Directory containing your template is located in the JIRA_HOME/data/attachment-generator. Do not forget to backup the contents of this directory.

Retrieving templates from JIRA

Automated Attachments Plugin allows you to download a template that was previously uploaded to the server. Therefore you do not need to keep local copies of your templates and wonder which ones are up-to-date.

Changing File Encoding

Our add-on supports various file text encodings. In the Plugin options you can set one of the many encoding formats.

Error handling

Rarely, the system cannot generate a file (eg., when a template file has been removed from the JIRA server). In order to deal with such situations we have prepared an error handling mechanism, which helps administrators find the root cause of the issue and eliminate it.
