When is DNG's Converter application required to install?
Hello,
According to the following QA, it seems that this war is necessary only when we need to view artifacts via RM Browser Addon. As you know, new diagram editor is released in DNG 6.0.2. we do not need RM Browser Addon to draw and view graphical artifacts.
I hope you will be able to provide the information.

- When is DNG's Converter application (converter.war) required to be installed?
- If my customer does not plan to use graphical artifacts using "RM Browser Addon”, a converter.war does not need to be installed?
- When we use only default diagrams with DNG 6.0.3, are RM Browser Addon and converter.war still needed?

RRC Converter installation needed?My customer wants to install all CLM applications on RHEL 7. But only converter.war does not support RHEL 7. If converter.war is not necessary, we will install CLM application without this.

"You could actually still create graphical artifacts using the browser plugin, but as soon as you tried to view them outside of the editor, you would get errors due to the converter app not being installed. "
I hope you will be able to provide the information.

Hi Natsumi,
your summary is correct. The converter application is used to process the graphical artifacts created using the browser addons. If you customer has no existing data of this form and has no intention to create any then the converter is not required.
The newer "diagram" artifact format does not require the converter application to be installed.
thanks,
Dominic
