Remote systems configuration

Remote Systems functionality enables you to execute SIL scripts on other Jira or Confluence instances that also have SIL installed. With this capability, you can implement cross-instance automation and facilitate data exchange between your systems.

You can trigger remote SIL script execution using the call() function, specifying the configured remote system name as a parameter. This creates a powerful way to coordinate workflows across multiple Atlassian instances.

How to add a remote system

  1. In your Jira Cloud instance, go to Apps > Power Apps Config.

  2. Click the Integrations tab and select the Remotes sub-tab.

  3. Click Add Remote and fill in the required fields:

    1. Name: Create a unique name for this remote system.

    2. Remote URL: Enter the base URL of the remote system following the format https://<server>:<port>/<context>.

    3. Username and Password: Provide your credentials for authenticating with the remote system.

    4. (Optional) Timeout: Specify the initial response time limit in milliseconds before the system considers the remote connection attempt failed.

    5. (Optional) Check result: Define the interval in milliseconds between polling attempts for asynchronous remote execution results; lower values may reduce overall execution time but increase CPU usage.

    6. (Optional) Use Proxy: Enable proxy server configuration for connecting to remote systems outside your network. When turned on, the proxy settings become available for setup.
      See How to configure the proxy settings below for additional information.

  4. Click Save.
    The integration displays as a new entry on the Slack Configurations page. 

How to manage remote systems

You can modify or remove a configuration at any time by clicking the Edit or Delete icons. The changes in the configuration are picked up immediately.

How to configure the proxy settings

If your network requires a proxy server to reach remote systems, you must configure the following proxy settings:

  • Proxy URL: Enter the complete URL of the proxy server.

  • Realm: Specify the authentication realm if required by your proxy.

  • Proxy host and Proxy port: Provide the hostname/IP address and port number of the proxy server.

  • Proxy username and Proxy user password: Enter the username and password for proxy authentication.

  • For Windows NT Domain environments, you must also specify:

    •  WinNTDomain: The Windows NT Domain name.

    •  Local Computer Name: The name of your local machine.

Contact your network administrators to obtain the correct proxy configuration details for your environment. Simply entering placeholder values will not establish a working connection.
