Released just in time for the new year, Rational Asset Manager (RAM) 7.5.0.1 improves on some of the features we delivered in September 2010:

• Development teams asked for integration with the recently released Rational Team Concert 3.0 (RTC 3.0):
  • RAM 7.5.0.1 supports OSLC-based linking, and Eclipse client integration with RTC 3.0.
• Many of you liked the new Requirements and Asset linking via Rational Requirements Composer, while others asked that we provide similar support for Rational DOORS:
  • RAM 7.5.0.1 enhances our OSLC for Requirements Management support to include linking Assets with Requirements in Rational DOORS.
• You asked for even more reporting with Rational Insight:
  • RAM 7.5.0.1 supports Rational Insight data warehousing and ETL for uber reporting!
• We are continuously harvesting the best customer-driven governance policies and making them part of the available library of Policies:
  • You can use a policy on your assets to launch an automation project in Rational Build Forge, for example when a deployable asset such as an EAR gets approved, it can automatically invoke an automation project to get it deployed.
  • The “modify reviewer” policy has been improved to support configuring collaboration options and adding user groups dynamically based on your asset attribute
  • Copy attributes between assets
  • … and more!

On behalf of the entire team, Happy New Year!
