Bridging the gap between clients and IBM TRIRIGA SupportI am new to the IBM TRIRIGA Support organization, working as a Level 2 Support Engineer. It has been my observation when reviewing PMR's that there is a lot of time spent going back and forth between the customer and the support engineer. It seems to me that this is due, in part, because not enough information was initially provided. Many times I have seen, in a PMR, that the customer is getting some error. Sometimes they just say they are getting an error or they may report the specific error with no information about how it happened, what version they were using or what they were doing. Many times there are vague steps with our client thinking that TRIRIGA engineers should know what they are trying to do.
I wanted to share what happens in support so that clients might understand why information about a problem is so important. When support receives a PMR we try to reproduce the issue based on the information given to us. If we are not given enough information, we are forced to collect it by making requests that can take days or even weeks to accomplish. Time zones play a role where each email can take a full day to get to the right people and get a response. In some cases, if we are provided with not enough information we may fail to replicate the problem which does not mean it is not an issue, it just means we may have replicated incorrectly because we are missing information or there are configurations or customized workflows that we do not have. There could be something in the way that the customer is doing something versus how the support engineer is doing something, because with software, there can be more than one way of doing something. If we need to get additional information it just takes that much more time.
We recognize that your time is valuable and it can be frustrating going back and forth to get the necessary information to reproduce an issue. What would help us in IBM TRIRIGA Support, is when entering a PMR, clients provide detailed step by step instructions as if you were asking your non tech-savy grandmother to reproduce. It may sound corny but it really is all in the details. As I mentioned, there could be more than one way to do something and left to our own devices, we might not do it the same way as you (the customer), so the more details the better.
If you have ever cooked and followed a recipe you are following steps. You might think of that approach for entering your steps to reproduce an issue.
For example:
etc
Your time is valuable and we recognize that. The more detailed you are with your initial entry on the PMR, the less time spent going back and forth trying to get the steps and more time can be spent on reproducing and resolving your issue.
Remember, we do have a document we often call a “Must Gather” or “Information To Collect” document for TRIRIGA PMRs. You should always submit this when you open a PMR. You can generally fill it out and save it so you always have it handy to attach to PMRs, just remember to update it when something changes.

Changes made in TRIRIGA as a result of Security VulnerabilitiesIn this day in age, security is a very hot topic and as soon as one vulnerability pops up, it is addressed and mitigated, another one is found. It is a vicious circle of identifying and addressing that does not seem to let up. In our fixpack release notes, information regarding mitigation of vulnerabilities that were addressed without an APAR is listed. And sometimes, a vulnerability could be addressed as an APAR.
The reason I am mentioning security vulnerabilities is that sometimes, when they are resolved, there is an effect that impacts existing functionality and it may not always be clear. Sometimes, the result of fixing these vulnerabilities can “change” functionality. As an example, in the 3.5.2 release, there is mention of an APAR related to external URL navigation items will now open in a new window to avoid cross origin scripting vulnerabilities. Prior to the 3.5.2 release, if you used an external URL in the navigation, it just opened in the same window. We have seen some issues where clients wanted the original design, but that is no longer possible since the change was made as a result of fixing a security vulnerability. The current behavior is correct and cannot revert to the old design. So in this case, there was an APAR referenced. But in others, there may not be. You can look at the 3.5.2.1 release notes (found here http
As the product develops and security vulnerabilities are found and addressed, it could mean a change in how something works. Reading the release notes can be a source of information but it may not always be clear why something changed. We all know change is hard, especially when we are so used to it working a certain way. I don’t know about you, but if the change was made to address a security vulnerability, I can live with that and accept the change.

TRIRIGA and the WAS Liberty Profile that does not want to be a serviceWell, you get TRIRIGA 3.4.2 or later to install and see how cool to use the Liberty Profile for WebSphere Application Server (WAS). This lets you install both the web server and TRIRIGA at one strike and self deploys itself from TRIRIGA installer. What an easy deal!
After installing TRIRIGA and the WAS Liberty profile, the user logged into the service and running it cannot log out or the service will be stopped. Many businesses do not allow an Admin user to be logged in indefinitely.
Now you're thinking you have to install all over again in a WAS deployed first. You double check and see WAS Liberty cannot run as a service as a product limitation. What a drag...
Well, there is one workaround you can try. Using the Apache's daemon you can create a Windows service. The following instructions are an idea for how you can implement it, but it depends on your architecture and installation:
Note: If you run into any issues, check the logs in the LogPath directory location for any errors - the errors as listed in the event viewer logs from Windows do not give meaningful errors.
References: There is an RFE to implement this and I encourage you to vote for it: http

IBM TRIRIGA - What are the differences between Fixpacks and Limited Availability Fixes and what are best practices for fixes?Occasionally we have IBM TRIRIGA customers who need clarification on the differences between Fixpacks and Limited Availability fixes. I want to share this information with you and state best practice guidelines here:
GENERAL AVAILABILITY FIXPACK (GA FIX) GA Fixpacks deliver product defect fixes that have undergone a full development release cycle and the most extensive QA testing of all maintenance releases. These fixes are delivered for any issue reported either internally or externally regardless of severity. Fixpacks occasionally deliver minor functional enhancements and modifications to add or update supported platforms, browsers, databases, middleware, etc. Fixpacks are cumulative and each new fixpack contains all fixes from all previous fixpacks/interim fixes for that release.
LIMITED AVAILABILITY FIX (LA FIX) An LA Fix is an unofficial mechanism to deliver emergency fixes for severe product issues that cannot be delayed until the next regular maintenance delivery. LA Fixes also go by the names “1-off” or “1-off Hotfix” but they all mean a single APAR fix delivered directly to a customer from Support.
Conditions that may warrant an LA Fix
Risks associated with LA Fixes
BEST PRACTICES FOR FIXES It is perfectly acceptable to take an LA FIX to address an issue when warranted. However, the risk associated with taking an LA FIX should always be weighed against the perceived benefits. If at all possible, it is always best to wait for a fully tested GA Fix. Also, if you do take an LA Fix, it should only remain in place until a GA Fix containing the fix needed is available. At that point, the GA Fix should be applied.

Understanding TRIRIGA PerformanceWe sometimes hear in support, that TRIRIGA performance is slow. No other details are given. That doesn't help us out a lot. We need to know more, like what was going on at the time that? Is it impacting the entire system or just one area?
Performance of TRIRIGA is a bit complex. and there is rarely any one thing that can be done to improve performance. Performance can be impacted by hardware, network connectivity, software versions, queries, indexes, customizations, configurations and more. The answer to performance concerns is often solving some combination of these things. But some things can be reviewed to help point you into a direction where to look and what to do.
Some things like hardware and network connectivity are out of our control and need to be reviewed by your own IT department or a business partner to perform a health check or performance analysis on your system. We do provide a list of minimum hardware requirements that TRIRIGA should be running on in our installation guides. We also have a compatibility matrix to show you what configurations are supported for your particular version here: http
To help diagnose the problem, TRIRIGA has performance logs that can be enabled, retrieved and analyzed. There is a wiki page that describes the process of enabling the performance log files as well as analyzing them, which can be found here: The wiki will walk you through how to enable the performance log and then analyze the output.
In case of performance concerns, TRIRIGA Administrators should ALWAYS review best practices to ensure they are following recommendations before entering a PMR. The wiki regarding Performance can be found here: http
Once you have the performance log, you can create the following pivot table to help identify where something is taking too long.
Generally, if something is taking longer than 10 milliseconds then it is taking too long to. For instance, in this example, you can look at the query for the report and see if it is optimized correctly. You may need to look at your database to see if anything needs to be adjusted at the database level.
It should be noted, that if you are using multiple servers in your environment, you would need to access the console from the server that is having the problem. If you have 3 UI JVM's and 2 process servers, where one of them is the workflow agent and you know you are having issues with workflow performance, then you would access the console from the server that has the WF agent running.
So using the performance log can help you identify what could be taking so long and if you enter a PMR that is something that can help us out as well. It is important to remember, that TRIRIGA Support is committed to every clients success, however; performance is not typically covered as part of the support agreement. Our goal will be to help point you in the right direction but since most performance inhibitors are unrelated to TRIRIGA, the support team cannot commit to resolving performance related issues. We may advise you but the resolutions are often up to you.

We collated pertinent sizing information from the Rati There are significant improvements to the import timings with RDNG 6.0.2 release, so please refer to this article if you are evaluating an existing or future migration as this could indeed be an influencing factor.
The document details: Sizing Guidelines for Rational DOORS Next Generation 6.x Recommendations on the maximum sizes of your modules, projects and repositories so as to maximize your success when importing your packages and working in the future within RDNG.
Hardware considerations The considerations for hardware are simplified from guidance published elsewhere in the Deployment wiki, but here they are explained within the context of how to plan for your new world.
Guidance on how to convert your Rational DOORS modules prior to migration Invariably there will be modules and projects within DOORS 9 which will not match up to the guidance prescribed for RDNG. Use this section to understand how to easily manipulate your data before migrating.
What if the data to be migrated exceeds the recommendations? The guidance is clearly aimed for the general use cases and is very much our strongest recommendation. It is understood that there are very large enterprise requirements management estates out there. It is recommended that you contact IBM if this applies to you.

CLM configuration management: a series providing guidance for planning configuration management
CLM configuration management: Adoption guidance and practices - After you determine whether your organization would benefit from configuration management, you need to evaluate your existing processes and determine how they will change to reflect the new concepts and operations. This article guides you through important considerations for adopting configuration management. See the related articles for additional details about practices and decisions points.
CLM configuration management: Defining your component strategy - Components typically represent physical or logical subdivisions of your product or system. A
CLM configuration management: Patterns for stream usage - This article introduces several patterns of stream usage, or stream strategies, which are described in more detail in additional linked articles. You should already be familiar with the configuration management capabilities, and have decided to investigate further. For the introduction to this series, see Adoption guidance and practices. As part of planning your adoption of configuration management you need to determine your stream strategy.
CLM configuration management: Single stream strategy - Use the single stream pattern for basic change management that’s only in a single domain application (that is, requirements or tests or designs). Typically you use this pattern with the Requirements Management (RM) or Design Management (DM) appl
CLM configuration management: Multistream variant strategy - This article discusses patterns of stream usage for situations where multiple variants of lifecycle artifacts need to be maintained in parallel for each of several releases. This is a common need of product-centric organizations. These and other patterns – including several that these patterns build on – are introduced in the companion Patterns for stream usage article. Read about these base patterns before you read this article. You’ll also find links there to the other stream pattern articles in this series.
CLM configuration management: Multistream concurrent release development strategy - This article explores patterns of stream usage for situations where you work on multiple releases of a product concurrently. Many organizations find these patterns useful on their own. These patterns also form the basis of the more complex multistream variant patterns, as explained in the Multistream variant strategy article. Many patterns are introduced in the companion Patterns for stream usage article. That article in turn points to the other stream details articles in this series. We suggest you read about the more basic patterns, such as the single stream strategy, before you read the current article. The patterns we present here are relatively complex. If an opportunity to “go simpler” presents itself, even for a single component, we encourage you to do so. For example, if you can build and maintain a reusable component of regulatory requirements using a single-stream pattern, rather than one of the multistream patterns, by all means use the simpler pattern.

Build a cognitive alert system for your IT operationsBuild a cognitive alert system for your IT operations - Monitoring tools today generally send alerts through incidents or email notifications. Often, though, IT teams need a more visually perceptive approach. For example, when an incident or email is received, or an action from an IT service management tool occurs, the IT operator needs either an audible signal on a speaker or a visual signal on a lamp. These types of alerts mean that operators no longer have to keep an eye on the screen or their smartphones. Implementing a solution that integrates service management systems with these types of devices can be quite complex depending on the current architecture. This article by Juscelino Candido de lima Junior demonstrates how you can use a low-cost set of hardware (a Raspberry Pi in a TJBot robot) and Watson APIs, IBM Watson IoT Platform, and other IBM Cloud services to build a cognitive alert system for your IT operations.

Best Practice for creating SRs and PMRs – Understanding the IBM TRIRIGA Support Process
This page has a Support Resources Home section that provides numerous links to some great resources, including a link to our IBM Service Request system where you can open a Service Request (SR). For convenience, the link for creating a Service Request (SR) is here: http Alternatively, on the IBM TRIRIGA Information and Support Resources page there are also IBM Support phone numbers that can be used to call for support. Once an SR/PMR is opened, it can be tracked for updates via the SR tool. You may also request an update at any time and this will notify the Support team to follow up with you as soon as possible.
For the most efficient IBM TRIRIGA support experience, a few guidelines should be followed:
Also, it is important to have one problem per SR/PMR because if the problem reported is determined to be a defect, we will create an APAR for it and an APAR also can only cover one distinct problem and we can only create on APAR per SR/PMR. More information about SRs, PMRs, and APARs can be found here: http
Please keep in mind that if all issues are logged as severity 1 issues, this is a misrepresentation, and IBM will be unable to provide adequate timely resolution for truly critical issues for all customers.
Keep in mind that any inside knowledge about your particular problem or environment is good to provide as well because Support deals with a wide variety of issues and test cases and might not be aware of how a particular customer has customized their envi
Finally, try to be prompt and clear in your responses as we communicate during the resolution process. Especially with high priority issues. The quicker you can reply that you have received any updates and let us know your response, the better. Again, due to the large volume of issues coming in, by quickly responding it can ensure that your issue remains at the forefront of the minds of those involved.

Using an Agile approach to scope software projectsUsing an Agile approach to scope software projects - Authored by Christina Lynch: Software development methodologies are often religiously observed. But we think you stand to lose out by arbitrarily closing yourself off to alternatives. That being said, when it comes to the software scoping process, the best tool for the job is Agile. Why? Because it’s proven time and time again to provide an effective and efficient framework for propelling new software initiatives forward. Helastel take project scoping very seriously indeed and the results of doing that speak for themselves. It boils down to posing the right questions about what the business requires, while gaining a 360 degree understanding of user perspectives, to plot a pathway to the optimum end 'product'.
