Post-upgrade recommendations

Step 1: After upgrading, we recommend users clear the browser cache when accessing the Zephyr application if they experience issues regarding cached pages.

Step 2: Log in as an Administrator and trigger the Full Reindexing manually.

Step 3: Update ZBot. You can download the ZBot installation file from Zephyr by clicking the username in the top-right corner and selecting the ‘Download ZBot’ option from the dropdown.

Step 4: Update the Jira configuration after the upgrade

• Once the upgrade is successful, the Administrator will get the popup below when login into Zephyr. (If Jira is integrated before the upgrade)

• Once the user navigates to the Jira Integration page → the Jira connections will be highlighted in RED, as shown in the screenshot below:

• Once all services are up and running → For Automatic webhook management →, click on the Update Webhook button from the Jira Integration page.

• In Jira, the webhook URL will be updated as per the new webhook URL:

The new webhook URL would be something like:
Example:- https://webhook.yourzephyr.com/v1/jira/webhooks/callback

Step 5: For manual webhook management, copy the URL from the popup as shown in the screenshot below and go to Jira to create a webhook with the new URL. The below popup will appear when integrating a Zephyr project with a Jira project or In Jira Integration → click on the Edit icon under the Action column and save the Jira Integration again.

Step 6: Enable the Jira sync for the closed Release if needed

By default, the Jira sync is disabled for all Releases that have ended (closed). If a Jira
sync needs to be re-enabled, perform the following steps:

1. Click on the button next to the Release on the left-hand side.

2. Click on "Enable Sync".

Step 7: Run the Manual Jira Update to get the latest change

• Users can manually sync the Jira Sync Requirement using the Manual Jira Update. This can be useful when a Jira sync has been re-enabled or a webhook callback that has not been updated to the latest changes.

• On doing Manual Jira Update on Jira Sync Folder

  • It will bring the requirement that satisfies the JQL or Filter

  • It will remove the requirement if any requirement does not satisfy the JQL or Filter

  • It will Update the requirement if any changes are made to the Requirement.

1. Click on the  button next to the Jira sync folder on the left-hand side.

2. Click on "Manual Jira Update".

You will get the pop-up to sync.

On Click on sync, it will bring the Job Progress.
