IBM Cúram Universal Access

For information about what's new in IBM Cúram Universal Access, see the Universal Access release notes.

Introducing support for Kubernetes

You can now build IBM Cúram Social Program Management as a containerized application by using WebSphere® Application Server Liberty and Docker, orchestrated by IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service.

Containerization simplifies the packaging and deployment process. For more information about containerization, see IBM Cúram Social Program Management on Kubernetes . See also the IBM Cúram Social Program Management on Kubernetes Runbook for information about the steps, sample helm charts, and docker files that are required to containerize your application.

To support Kubernetes , IBM Cúram Social Program Management has been enhanced in version 7.0.10.0 to support the following technologies:

WebSphere Application Server Liberty

IBM Cúram Social Program Management now supports WebSphere Liberty version 19.0.0.12 when containerized and deployed on IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service.

IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service

IBM Cúram Social Program Management now supports IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service (IKS) as a deployment target for preproduction and production environments.

IBM Cúram Social Program Management can be containerized only with WebSphere Liberty and IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service.

Docker

Docker version 19.0.3.5 is now supported for packaging IBM Cúram Social Program Management int containers for deployment on IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service.

Helm

Helm version 2.16.1 is now supported for deploying IBM Cúram Social Program Management on IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service.

IBM MQ Long Term Support

IBM Cúram Social Program Management now supports IBM MQ Long Term Support (LTS) version 9.1.0.4 when IBM Cúram Social Program Management is containerized and deployed on IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service. 

WebSphere Liberty, IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service, Docker, and IBM MQ LTS updates occur through out the year. IBM Cúram Social Program Management will be updated frequently to adopt newer versions of the previous technologies. For more information about the exact supported versions, see the system prerequisites report.

Application form PDF document added to application cases

When a client submits an application form, IBM Cúram Social Program Management generates a PDF document. The PDF document contains a copy of the information that the client entered on the application and is generated for the client's records.

In version 7.0.10.0, an enhancement enables the generated PDF copy of the application to be stored on the application case. Therefore, when caseworkers work on the client’s case, they can now view the copy of the application form in the PDF document. Also, when a caseworker creates and submits an application form for the client, IBM Cúram Social Program Management generates a PDF document of the information that is stored on the application case.
