reports using ssrs from JIRA

Question

I am looking for way to build reports using SSRS from JIRA if that is not possible I am okay moving the data from Jira to a SQL DB utilizing SSIS. I am new to Jira and REST API. Connecting directly to the Jira back end Database is not an option

Answer 1

The jira api currently only supports JSON. so your best bet is to either build a custom reporting services extension to handle JSON as a data source or create a webservice that passes through the json calls and converts the results to xml which SSRS will be able to handle.

while both of these sound difficult depending on your requirements may only take a few lines of C# code:

there also seem to be a few 3rd party options but I haven't tried them
