How We Helped AEVI Integrate Jira with SAP S/4HANA
Technological Context
A new, reliable, and scalable integration solution was needed.
The goal of the project was to integrate Atlassian Jira with the newly implemented SAP S/4HANA system, enabling real-time transfer of worklogs from Jira to SAP and replacing the original monthly batch processing. The key benefit of the new solution is immediate validation and processing of worklogs directly in SAP, where AEVI continues to work with them.
AEVI provides businesses – including banks, payment service providers, independent software vendors, and others – with a platform that helps them operate smarter through access to a wide range of payment technologies and commerce solutions.
Preserving User Workflows
Worklog transfer queue
The transfer of worklogs from Jira to SAP is handled by a robust queue-based mechanism that ensures:
- creation, modification, and deletion of worklog entries,
- data consistency between Jira and SAP,
- automatic notifications in case of missing or incorrect input data.
As a result, all worklogs are transferred in real time, and notifications allow quick issue detection and correction. The solution is also fully prepared for future integration enhancements.
Technical Implementation
Results and Benefits
Real-time Instead of Batch Processing
Transition from monthly batch transfers to real-time synchronization of worklogs into SAP.
Data Consistency and Control
The queue mechanism ensures consistency of entries, handles updates and deletions, and reports missing data.
Prepared for Future Extensions
The solution is scalable, and the ScriptRunner-based approach allows easy future enhancements.
Project Collaboration
“The Unicorn Systems team quickly understood our needs regarding the integration of Jira and SAP S/4HANA and, thanks to their proactive approach and professional attitude, convinced us they would be a reliable partner for delivering the integration solution. The entire project was complex and required collaboration, coordination, and implementation not only on the Jira side but also on the SAP side. Despite the challenges we had to face during the project, we managed to deploy an advanced solution that automatically transfers worklogs to SAP, including their modifications or deletions. The system notifies us whenever input data is missing, and overall, it saves us several hours each month otherwise spent on manual validation and matching of worklogs.”
