[FORUM ADMINISTRATOR NOTE: Normally, the forum is intended for user questions, and not announcements, discussions, or requests for feedback, but we're making an exception for the new iFix process, until we find a better home for it on jazz.net]

For those customers using CLM 5.0 and CLM 4.0.7, I would like to hear your feedback on our new maintenance approach through iFixes.  

CLM 5.0 iFix004 is now available through IBM Support (September 15).  CLM 5.0 iFix004 has resolution for 35  field defects (APARs) and replaces CLM 5.0 iFix003:

• Jazz Foundation : 3 APARs
• Rational DOORS Next Generation (RDNG) : 12 APARs
• Rational Quality Manager (RQM) :12  APARs
• Rational Team Concert  (RTC) : 8 APARs

The readme.txt delivered with the iFix has details on the content and instructions on how the iFix should be applied.  It is recommended that all customers apply the latest CLM iFix to their current CLM 5.0 deployments.   The same iFix applies to each of the CLM applications (RDNG, RQM, RTC) and the Jazz Team Server (JTS).   The iFix is cumulative, in-place, and easy to rollback.  

With CLM 5.0.1 available since September 9, the frequency of iFixes on 5.0.0 will begin to wane. 

Thanks for your patience in my posts to the forum as we work through details on including this on the jazz.net site and IBM support portal. 

Thanks,
Ginny
