Introduction
iFix024 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 25.8.2023 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 Prevent use of a server that's been unexpectedly moved to a different timezone for IBM ELM 7.0.2.
Fixed slow query when retrieving data to display links inserted into module contents for Oracle in IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next.
Among the main error removed in IBM Engineering Test Management is that it is unable to 'remove' a file from the normative and informative documents section of a Test Plan.
Fixed selection of Multiple Development links doesn’t work as expected in IBM Engineering Workflow Management.
This iFix also solves the main problem with the Jazz Reporting Service that report with description in work item export to word/pdf/html is not working.
