Added server-specific enumerations to the CAE custom enumerations list
As an administrator, you can now add custom conditions for artifact properties such as Severity, Priority, and Team Area in SQL-based Custom Artifact Elements (CAEs), as server-specific enumerations are now supported.
Previously, SQL-based CAEs did not support server-specific enumerations in custom conditions because their values were tied to server-specific URLs. This dependency made the CAEs nonportable across ELM servers.
With this update, server-specific enumerations are included in the CAE custom enumerations list. These values are resolved dynamically at run time, helping ensure that the correct enumeration URLs are used based on the current ELM server context.

Loading indicator added to Engineering Insights
Engineering Insights now shows a loading indicator while data is being retrieved. This visual feedback improves transparency and reduces uncertainty while your request is processed.

Jena and SPARQL support removed in Lifecycle Query Engine
Starting in version 7.2, support for Jena in Lifecycle Query Engine (LQE) and SPARQL in Engineering Insights (ENI) is removed. LQE now uses the relational store (LQE rs) as the only supported storage mechanism.
Predefined views, Custom Artifact Elements (CAEs), and impact analysis conditions are updated to work with LQE rs. The options to select Jena or SPARQL for creating CAEs, Impact Analysis Diagrams, and views are no longer available.

SQL views and custom artifacts added to existing folders

SQL-based sample views and CAEs are included in the existing folders, instead of creating new folders for the following content packages.

  • Predefined views for SQL
  • Predefined custom artifact elements for SQL
Predefined content when using LQE relational store (LQE rs)

SQL-based sample Views and CAEs are now available in the predefined contents in Engineering Insights. Content packages are available in the following folders:

  • Predefined views for SQL
  • Predefined custom artifact elements for SQL
New option added to the artifact picker

Keyword search is replaced with the ability to select an artifact type and apply conditions, which provides more specific results. A list of artifacts appear after selection.

All project-level permissions to the Project Administrator role by default

Engineering Insights automatically grants project-level permissions to the user designated as Project Administrator for a specific project area, overriding any permissions assigned through their role.

CAEs from Workshop package are no longer available
Workshop CAEs were built using SPARQL-based queries, which are no longer supported in Engineering Insights. As a result, the Workshop folder is removed from the CAE palette.
You can no longer use CAEs from the Workshop package to create views. Existing views that rely on Workshop CAEs might need to be updated or re-created by using CAEs from other available packages.
