creation of Rational Asset Manager related asset links automatically based on Maven POM
Hello,
I am testing RAM as a Maven repository. It seems to be working fine in general, in that I can download/upload assets from RAM by specifying the RAM server in the repositories and distributionManagement section of the POM. However, when I used maven deploy to upload one of my assets to RAM that had an identified dependency on another asset I have in RAM, I expected a "related asset" link to be created between the two automatically, but it wasn't. Should it have?
Thanks,
Chris

Dec 11 '13, 10:23 p.m.Does RAM have first class support for acting as a Maven repo manager? I can't remember the version at the time but when my team evaluated RAM for that purpose it was not supported.

The maven library information indicates that it includes a few related asset links called Depends On and Dependent. But I don't see those being created when I publish using mvn deploy, though the asset is created/updated properly other than that.
