How to set "Assigned to" in Task Report for Confluence to self
Asked by Sam Hoover:

I want to include the 'Task Report' Macro on the home page of our Space, and filter Action Items from Meeting Notes to just "self" or "user", so that each user will only see ***their*** open Action Items on the Home Page of our Space.

Can this be done?

Thank you,

Sam Hoover

When they mention somebody in the comments (it can be multiple team members), that means this task is assigned to these employees. Every user can build [Talk Report](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/Talk/Talk+Report), then to overview 'tasks' that are unresolved and where they've been mentioned. They can easily switch to the comment by clicking on the link in the Page column. When a task is done, they can resolve it or archive it on the page to refer to it later. Talk Report includes the following information:

If you use it in combinations with the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app, you can filter comments by Author, Status, Date etc.


author: Ivan Lima

This has already been captured through the Atlassian ticket system [CONFSERVER-34597](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-34597).

Why can't I see the Table of Contents in the customer portal?

insert bitbucket content directly into confluence document
Asked by Rocke Robertson:

I can't seem to find a macro or a way to point to and include the content of a specific file from a bitbucket repo/branch. Whenever the branch is updated, the content in the confluence documnent is updated automatically.

Essentialy this would be the same as the include excerpt macro, but for git.

Hope this mumbling makes sense.

Welcome to Atlassian Community.

At the moment the integration between Bitbucket and Confluence is sort of non existing. There are a couple of apps that allows you to display content in Confluence that is stored in a Bitbucket repository. Maybe the iFrame macro can be used and just link it to the file in Bitbucket.

body: Thanks [@Rocke Robertson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3794793) .

Hi [@boris](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3835343),

You may find [Include Bitbucket for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1212529/include-bitbucket-for-confluence-markdown-asciidoc?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)useful for your use case where you want to embed a Bitbucket file into Confluence and it is kept in sync to ensure you always have the latest version.

You can simply **copy the URL of the Bitbucket file** and **paste it into the Confluence page**.

In the following example we use this Bitbucket URL of a `.js` file: <https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/atlassian-connect-express/src/master/lib/index.js>

Then paste the URL in the Confluence page as shown in the video and the macro will automatically be applied to embed the file.

![Include Bitbucket - paste file url.gif](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/248469iB57A37A2F6E44925/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Include Bitbucket - paste file url.gif")

You can include private and public files and we have a Data Center and Cloud edition.

I hope this is helpful.

How do I get started on planning a Confluence upgrade?
Asked by Jeff Bast:

I'm currently very behind 5.2.5 and want to get on the latest release and once there start migrating to the cloud. I run Confluence today on Oracle Linux VM version 5.11, but will build new VM running 7.7 Current database is 11.2.0.4, and will go to 19c

Then there's the plugin I already have in 5.2.5 that are starting to fail due to not being supported... I would need to identify what would be needed in the new version to maintain the same plugins we have today or understand how to handle my existing pages with/without them.

That's a lot of detail, but just tying to plan how to get this started to develop a plan

- Jeff


Answers:
author: Jeff Bast
body: Close case, I have completed upgrade all the way to 7.3.3, doing oracle 19c this weekend


author: Michelle Rau HP
body: Hi Jeff, I think that's good detail that will help others answer your questions.

I'm not a system-level admin, so speaking from a space admin perspective, a couple things to consider for your overall plan.

First, it's possible to run a search to find all instances of a specific macro, in case this function isn't available on system admin screens. The syntax is something like this, but you may need to modify,

[https://rndwiki.inc.hpicorp.net/confluence/dosearchsite.action?queryString=macroName%3Acode\&startIndex=0\&where=SPACEKEY](https://rndwiki.inc.hpicorp.net/confluence/dosearchsite.action?queryString=macroName%3Acode&startIndex=0&where=SPACEKEY)

(I've done this a couple times to try to understand the frequency and end user impact of an expired macro.)

Second, have a good, proactive communication plan with stakeholders and end users. Have a method for them to report problems.

Third, as a space admin, I've built a small collection of pages with macro examples on them that can help me see which macros might have problems after an upgrade or other change. I also have a checklist of key pages that people rely on to make sure those are okay.

Just a few thoughts from a space admin / end user perspective.

Anybody using Confluence as a document management system?
Asked by MB:

Hi guys,

My company is tossing about the idea of using Confluence as our document management system to write and store our SOP documents. Is anyone currently using Confluence in this manner and if so, can you share your thoughts in the system? Pro? Cons?

I would appreciate your input.

Thanks


Answers:
author: James Conway
body: Hi [@MB](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3592037)

It really depends on what your drivers are and what requirements you have. Confluence out of the box is a great tool to collaborate on producing content and may provide what you require.

However if you need to exercise a greater level of control, then you will probably need to consider one or more apps from the Atlassian Marketplace to extend the capability of Confluence. A great place to start would be <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/categories/document-management>

Keep in mind that you can try both Confluence and the marketplace apps for free, so perhaps you can jump in and try a few things!

Good luck!

Links in the office Excel macro do not work when displayed on the page.

Links in the office Excel macro do not work when displayed on the page. If you open the document itself through the Excel software, then all links are active and you can click on them, but if you save the document in a macro, nothing happens on the page when you hover and click on the link, the link only is underlined and the cursor takes the form as when editing text, while the link is not clickable.

Before upgrading Production I wanted promote the key, major, upgrade benefits to our users. Can anyone provide a conscise summary of the benefits between these versions (or close to it) .

Slow response after not using Atlassian server products for a while
Asked by Julius Zatroch:

When using Atlassian product in SMB companies, we are experiencing slow response / page load after not using it for 1 day and more. Typically at morning or Monday morning. After few minutes ist working OK. After many days of our testing (reverse proxy, SSD drives for software and database, increasing memory etc) it looks everything is related to JAVA machine on background. Java is cleaning internal structures after not using it for a while. You will not see this behavior in bigger companies where many people are using Atlassian products every minute.

Are there some switches or parameters for JVM we can change at product startup to increase JVM internal cleaning time for maybe 30 hours?


Answers:

Hi Julius

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/enterprise/garbage-collection-gc-tuning-guide-461504616.html> is a good place to start to look for tunable options related to the JVM.

Having confluence and jira self hosted also in use (and not accessing it on a regular base i can not confirm that behavior). Is that specific to a certain product jira, confluence ... or a general problem. Which versions are you on?

Hope that helps

How to improve bad password error mesage?
Asked by Sascha Ziemann:

I have setup an OpenLDAP server and gave Confluence write permission to the LDAP. I also defined a password policy, which checks the password quality.

But when I trie to change a password, which does not fullfil the password quality requirements, I get just this error message:

![2020-03-04 11_50_40-Set User Password _ sascha.ziemann - K3LS Documentation.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/85254i5E86B8380E9CD1B6/image-dimensions/693x99?v=v2 "2020-03-04 11_50_40-Set User Password _ sascha.ziemann - K3LS Documentation.png")

This says exactly nothing altough Confluence gets a detailed description from the LDAP server, what is wrong here. This is what slapd logs:

```
slapd[21199]: conn=3698 op=1 RESULT tag=103 err=19 text=Bad password for dn="cn=***" because it is based on a dictionary word

How to set a space's category by REST API?

I haven't worked with the Confluence API much, I mainly use the Jira API.

Looking at the [Confluence API documentation](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/#api-api-space-spaceKey-property-key-put) seems to suggest that you can't do it on creating a space, but would be able to by updating a space property.

Invalid filter id. Filter id must be a number
Asked by Joe:

When I make a table on Confluence like below,

When I click on each column value, it directs me to Jira Issue navigator and the list of issues shows up with an appropriate filter.

However, whenever I click on the total, which is '20'

It directs me to Jira but shows no list at all saying, 'Invalid filter id. Filter id must be a number.'

Wouldn't it be right to sum up the whole filters when I click the total?

It seems that some tables still show the list of issues when the total is clicked but some don't, and I have no idea why it happens.

Does anyone have any idea?

How to avoid connectivity problem between Jira and Confluence?

Hello,

I've added the Application Links for both sides but whenever I check the connectivity I get "We can't enable the incoming authentication because Jira is not reachable." and also "We can't display the status for this application link, because outgoing authentication is disabled. You can [enable outgoing authentication](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/APPLINKS-060/OAuth+security+for+application+links) to see the status."

Jira works on DMZ, it is on external network server and Confluence is not. Confluence is working on an internal network. Could it be a problem?

Hi Eftal

to enable the application links bi directional the servers need to be able to communicate with each other. If your confluence server is running in the internal network, is there a firewall rule in place that allows access from the jira server?

"Uploaded a version of a file" notification for page with UML diagram?
Asked by Michelle Rau HP:

I hope someone can explain this behavior to me. I created a new page with a UML diagram in it using the PlantUML macro. A couple of curious users apparently browsed the page, and shortly afterwards I got notifications like the below.

The versions of the page have NOT changed. The versions of the attachment DID change. And one comment reads "PlantUML Diagram (generated)." I know each UML diagram is saved as an image file and displayed on the page, but I don't understand why simply viewing the page would create a new version of the attachment. (It's possible that they clicked on the page to edit it, then cancelled out of the editing screen.)

Does anyone know what is happening here? Is it because the export name is specified in the macro settings? (UML Sequence Diagram Template.svg)? Thanks for any insights.
