Introduction
iFix023 is the next in a series of iFixes that address issues associated with version 7.0.2 for IBM ELM. Thanks to this iFix, many specifications are modified in versions 7.0.3 as well. This iFix is active as of 1.7.2023 and this article summarizes the main issues that have been resolved. Installation of other software is also available for EWM (client update site): IBM EWM client for Eclipse update site, Microsoft Visual Studio and Windows shell.
Overview of Main Fixes
Among the main solved problem with the Jazz foundation application is that database statistics are not updated as frequently as intended during upgrade for IBM ELM 7.0.2.
Fixed unable to remove DNG links using "Link by Attribute" feature in GC in IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next.
Among the main error removed in IBM Engineering Test Management is that Test Script displays pending merges but pending merges show "no action".
Fixed OSLC Dialog doesn't close in IBM Engineering Workflow Management.
This iFix also solves the main problem with the IBM Engineering Lifecycle Optimization – Engineering Insights that copying a container and performing a paste, loses the formatting when an undo is performed.
