Global Configuration Management |
Work item linking and navigation in a GC context
You can now manage associations between global configurations and Engineering Workflow Management (EWM) releases in the Global Configuration Management (GCM) application. The following changes are made in GCM:
|
Add configurations between trees by using the drag-and-drop function in different browser windows
When you open global configuration trees in separate browser windows, you can now drag configurations between the trees. The drag-and-drop gesture moves configurations within a tree and adds configurations between trees. This feature helps you to quickly build a configuration tree from another one like it.

Update tags when you are creating a baseline
Earlier, the Create Baseline dialog box contained two fields: Existing Tags to show the tags of the stream the baseline is being created from, and Additional Tags to add new tags. Also, to remove tags, you had to first create the baseline, then edit it and remove tags. The dialog box now has only one field, Tags. It is pre-populated with the existing tags of the stream, but you can add or remove tags as needed. The new baseline uses the exact set of tags from the field. To create a new tag, you need the Create Tag privilege as usual. Image of the Create Baseline dialog box (before and after): |

Use link properties in query conditions and result columns
You can now use link properties in query conditions and result columns. Link properties include both built-in link types, such as References and Release, and custom link types. Links in query conditions

View link properties in configuration pickers
You can now view link properties, such as Release and References, as a column in the results table of the following configuration pickers:
Note: The choice of available links depends on the project area that is selected from the list. Image of the Add Configurations dialog box with Release added as a column: |

Links are enhanced in GCM
Links to OSLC artifacts now support the following enhancements:
For example, the Engineering Workflow Management work item link https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/516108 is displayed as 516108: Add rich hover to link properties in the component/configuration editors, and hovering your mouse over the link shows a rich hover preview. To support the link enhancements, links must be OSLC URLs (such as https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/516108) that are available on a friend server or are registered to the same Jazz Team Server. Non-OSLC URLs (such as https://www.ibm.com or https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Jazz%20Foundation#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=516108) do not support the rich hover feature. Additionally, link properties are added as result columns in tables on the browse pages of both components and configurations, and support the rich hover feature. |

Negation operators for a group of query conditions
Earlier, Global Configuration Management (GCM) queries supported only AND and OR operators for grouping query conditions. Now you can negate a group by using the NOT operator. Use an existing group or create one by using Add Group on the toolbar, and then select the operator from the list in the group header. The following table illustrates the logic of each group operator: Group Operator Example All match Condition 1 AND Condition 2 Some match Condition 1 OR Condition 2 Not all match NOT (Condition 1 AND Condition 2) None match NOT (Condition 1 OR Condition 2) The first two are not new but their labels are changed whereas the last two are the new negation operators.

New query operator for enumerated attributes
A new operator is not any of is available in query conditions for enumerated attributes. You can use this operator to return all configurations that do not have any of the entered enumeration values, including ones that have no values. If you want to exclude configurations for which the enumerated attribute has no values, you can add a separate condition for enum exists with it. Image of the enumeration operator: Image of the query results when you use both is not any of and exists in query conditions: |

Additional attributes in query conditions and result columns
You can now use additional attributes in query conditions and result columns to enhance the query experience. The following are the newly added query conditions:

REST APIs to find and run user-defined queries
You can now use new REST APIs to discover and run user-defined queries programmatically. Such queries can be created by using the Global Configuration Management (GCM) web interface only. 1. Query for user queries. Look up the URIs of user-defined queries that match some criteria, such as project area, or name. You can then use the URI of a particular query to run it with the next API. 2. Execute a user query. Run a query specified by its URI, fetching the query results as JSON data. See the REST API documentation under gcContextRoot/doc/scenario?id=QueryingUserQueries for more details. |

Redact sensitive data in a Global Configuration Management query
Global Configuration Management Administrators can now find and delete any user-defined query that contains sensitive information, even if it's a personal query of another user.

IBM Automotive Compliance licenses
You can now download the Automotive license from the License Key Center by downloading a compressed (.zip) file that contains all offering contents, including the templates, from Passport Advantage. When you assign Automotive Compliance licenses, make note of the following points:
If you access project areas such as Engineering Workflow Management, Engineering Test Management, and Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next, that use the Automotive Compliance content, an extra token is used irrespective of the number of project areas that you access. The license does not provide access to the base applications, so a role-based license is still required. For example, if you open the Rhapsody ASPICE profile that is included in IBM Automotive Compliance, one token is used. For more information, see IBM Automotive Compliance licenses. |

Smart people picker component
A new people picker component is now introduced as part of the ongoing user experience transformation and alignment with IBM's open source Carbon Design System. The people picker is a dialog box for selecting users and can be used for assigning an owner or a set of subscribers to an artifact. The new people picker is common across the following applications:
