We are pleased to announce the availability of Rational Asset Manager (RAM) 7.5.3 fix pack 3. It is now available for download on jazz.net and IBM Fix Central. Henceforth, future releases of Rational Asset Manager will be available on IBM Fix Central only.

Continuing with the quarterly release cadence, the primary focus of this release is to address customer Request for Enhancements (RFEs), usability, and security improvements to benefit power users.

SAML Single Sign-on Support

Rational Asset Manager now supports single sign-on using the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). This feature facilitates users to log in to the application only once and on subsequent login sessions, the application exchanges secure tokens with the server for user authentication.

Enhancement in Zip File Artifacts Extraction

The artifacts uploading feature has been enhanced with the capability to extract the contents of Zip files to a folder before associating the files to an asset in Rational Asset Manager. In a single action, the user can upload multiple files that are  located in nested folder structures.

The primary focus area for the Rational Asset Manager development team in 2018 has been Client Care, which involves resolving customer issues and addressing key customer RFEs.

As the Rational Asset Manager development team plans for future releases of Rational Asset Manager, customers are encouraged to participate by raising RFEs on IBM developerWorks forum. Issues can be raised as Problem Management Record (PMR) on IBM Support channel.

If you wish to engage with us to discuss strategic direction and needs, contact  saurabh_sri@hcl.com. We would be happy to connect with you to understand your business case and requirements.

Looking forward to your continued support and feedback!
