New features and enhancements added in interim fixes

Interim fixes include new features and enhancements to applications within IBM® Engineering Lifecycle Management suite. The following list shows the first interim fix that provides support for a feature. Interim fixes are cumulative features provided in a particular interim fix and are included in all subsequent interim fixes.

Interim fix 9

Application registration in renamed server environments no longer fails
Applications registered after a Server Rename operation now function correctly. Previously, process authoring features (such as saving Process Descriptions) would fail for applications installed post-rename due to missing URL mapping entries. The system now automatically configures the required mappings during application registration.

Integrated Work Item compose agent in IBM Engineering Workflow Management
Engineering Workflow Management now includes integrated support for the work item compose agent. This interim fix provides support for IBM Engineering AI Hub 1.2 and it is a prerequisite for the Work Item compose agent feature.

Git 2.52
IBM Engineering Workflow Management 7.0.3 interim fix 21 and future interim fixes now support integration with Git 2.52.

Jenkins 2.528.2
IBM Engineering Workflow Management 7.0.3 interim fix 21 and future interim fixes now support integration with Jenkins 2.528.2.

GitHub Enterprise 3.18
IBM Engineering Workflow Management 7.0.3 interim fix 21 and future interim fixes now support integration with GitHub Enterprise 3.18.

Jazz® Reporting Service
  • Improving Jazz Reporting Service logging capabilities

    Jazz Reporting Service now provides enhanced logging capabilities to improve troubleshooting and diagnostics.

  • Improving Lifecycle Query Engine relational store–based report performance using temporary tables optimization options

    Lifecycle Query Engine relational store–based reports now use temporary tables optimization options to improve query performance and reduce response times.

  • New table in the Lifecycle Query Engine relational store for SELECT list data

    The Lifecycle Query Engine relational store now includes a dedicated table for storing SELECT list data. This data is used in Report Builder report queries to improve performance and data retrieval efficiency.

DOORS® Next
  • Asynchronous view execution for artifact browser and module editor

    View execution for the artifact browser and module editor now runs asynchronously, reducing failures caused by request and query timeouts when working with large datasets.

    When you load large views, modules, or artifact collections, processing continues in the background instead of failing due to timeouts. Completion time depends on system load and data complexity.

    This improvement is automatic and requires no user action.

  • Configuration Management API enhancements

    The configuration management API now reports detailed module integrity check failures during deliver operations and includes an option to override the check and proceed with delivery. For more information, see DOORS Next Generation Configuration Management Resources.

Introduced in Interim fix 8

Eclipse 4.38
IBM Engineering Workflow Management 7.1.0 interim fix 8 and future interim fixes now support Eclipse 4.38.

Interim fix 6

IBM Engineering Workflow Management
  • IBM Engineering Workflow Management now has integrated the work item synopsis agent.
    Tip: Engineering Lifecycle Management 7.1.0 interim fix 6 now supports IBM Engineering AI Hub 1.0 and is a prerequisite for the work item synopsis agent feature.
  • Engineering Workflow Management 7.1.0 interim fix 6 provides support for Java 21 on Eclipse 4.36. You can use the available p2 repository from the IBM Engineering Workflow Management downloads page for installation.
Jazz Reporting Service

  • Added a method to perform the migration of Lifecycle Query Engine historical metrics data from Jena to LQE rs for administrators.

  • Improved LQE rs with Query Gen Flags on Oracle.

Interim fix 5

GitLab 18.2
IBM Engineering Workflow Management 7.1.0 interim fix 5 and future interim fixes now support integration with GitLab 18.2.
Git 2.50.1
IBM Engineering Workflow Management now supports integration with Git 2.50.1.

Introduced in 7.1.0 SR1 interim fix 4

Java™ 17

IBM Semeru Runtime Certified Edition 17 (OpenJDK) is now included with IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management applications. Engineering Lifecycle Management 7.1.0 SR1 interim fix 4 uses Java 17.0.13 as new prerequisite level of runtime JRE.

IBM WebSphere® Liberty 25.0.0.3

Engineering Lifecycle Management now upgraded the stand-alone IBM WebSphere Liberty and the embedded IBM WebSphere Liberty.

Before you upgrade to Engineering Lifecycle Management 7.1.0 SR1 interim fix 4, see Configuring Engineering Lifecycle Management on a stand-alone WebSphere Liberty server for the stand-alone Liberty configurations. If you've an embedded Liberty, there are no configuration changes.

Log4j 2.24.3
From Engineering Lifecycle Management 7.1.0 SR1 interim fix 4, the applications updated logging solution from Log4j 2 to Log4j 2.24.3.
IES 4.23
IES 4.23 is now part of Engineering Lifecycle Management 7.1.0 SR1 interim fix 4.
