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!

You learn more about this release on the Rational Asset Manager 7.5.0.1 New and Noteworthy page!

On behalf of the entire team, Happy New Year!

    Does this fixpack include support for WAS ND 7.0.0.13?

  2. Daniel Haischt January 7, 2011 @ 11:04 pm

    I guess yes. The setup app prints out this message “Rational Asset Manager recommends that you upgrade your WebSphere v70 to Fix Pack 7.0.0.13.”

    Yes, RAM 7.5.0.1 supports WAS, WAS ND 7.0.0.13.

    WAS fixpack 13 was released right at the end of October so we couldn’t do our full system verification testing in time for the RAM fixpack. We did all our certifications on WAS 7.0.0.11. However, we do support newer fixpacks of WAS as they are backward compatible. RAM 7.5.0.1 fixed up a JWL classloader issue introduced with WAS 7.0.0.13 for example.

    I’m installing 7.5.0.1 and I have an error that tells me it doesn’t support RTC 3.0, I need version 2. Is this because v3 is in the /ccm folder when the suggestion on the side says hostname/jazz ?

    Hi Scott, RAM can integrate with RTC 3.0, however, the version of RTC that RAM utilizes under the covers must be RTC version 2. These are different scenarios:

    When you install the RAM server it will install and utilize a bundled copy of RTC v2. You also have the option of using an external RTC, but it must also be RTC v2. The RAM server utilizes the work item services as the basis for the Asset Governance lifecycles. I suspect you’ve got your own copy of RTC 3.0 and the RAM server setup is telling you it’s not version 2.0. Consider letting RAM install and utilize the bundled copy of RTCv2.

    Once the RAM Server is setup, you can integrate it with your RTC 3.0 instance. You can configure them as friend servers, link Assets to RTC resources, and can use them together in the Eclipse client.

    I hope this helps, thanks for using RAM!
