Introduction
IFix 1 is the first in a series of iFixes that address issues associated with version 7.0.3 for IBM ELM. This iFix is active as of 30.11.2023 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.
Through this article, you will learn about the news and updates that are associated with the IBM ELM product.
Overview of Main Fixes
This iFix also solves the main problem with the Jazz Reporting Service that missing right parenthesis for SQL in some cases if Data completeness check is enabled.
One of the main solved problem with the Jazz Foundation application is that help links in the web UI are broken for JAF based products for IBM ELM 7.0.3.
Fixed artifacts being locked after changing the source configuration in IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next.
Fixed error raised when saving subset after removing an action in IBM Engineering Workflow Management.
Among the main errors removed in IBM Engineering Test Management is that duplication of test cases creates multiple test cases instead of single duplicated test case.
