Setting up Jama Connect Webhooks (KOTS)

Jama Connect Webhooks is an optional feature that sends event notifications from Jama Connect to webhook endpoints configured through Jama Connect Interchange. In a Jama Connect KOTS environment, setup includes preparing the Data Stream database, enabling and deploying the Data Stream Service, and validating the deployment.

Architecture overview

The Data Stream Service runs with Jama Connect. It isn't installed on the Jama Connect Interchange server, and enabling it doesn't change the published Jama Connect Interchange server's specifications.

  • Jama Connect KOTS manages the Data Stream Service deployment.

  • The Data Stream Service uses a separate database area for its data and encrypted webhook signing material.

  • Jama Connect Interchange uses a dedicated system-to-system service account to configure webhooks in Jama Connect.

For Jama Connect Interchange host requirements, see Self-hosted server specifications.
