The following four questions we didn't have time to answer during the event. So I'm answering them here.
Q1: You mentioned support for Edge. Is there any change in support for Chrome or Firefox?
A1: We continue to support recent versions of Chrome or Firefox--no change in policy. You can find this and other software product compatibilty information by creating a report for Engineering Lifecycle Management 7.0.3: https://www.ibm.com/software/reports/compatibility/clarity/
Q2: On average, how long should it take to upgrade from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3 (4 hours? 1 day?). Let's say we have more than one server to upgrade.
A2: Your time to plan your upgrade and do a test upgrade on a copy of your production data will take longer than the actual upgrade. It's hard to give a specific time period, since amount of data in your ELM product repositories can make a significant difference. Your test upgrade will give you a sense of the time required for your production upgrade. See the interactive upgrade guide in the documentation to start your planning: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/engineering-lifecycle-management-suite/lifecycle-management/7.0.3
Q3: Are there any future changes to let MBSE tools like Cameo Systems Modeler interact with an EWM or DOORS Next environment natively?
A3: The ELM tools implement OSLC as an open interface for integrations. You would need to check with the vendor of each tool regarding their plans to support (or expand support) for OSLC integration scenarios. You could also look at vendors that offer integration adapters or integration servers.
Q4: Are team areas in DOORS Next available in LQE-based JRS reports?
A4: I'm not sure whether you are asking "Can I limit what people see by team area?" or "Can I report on the names of the people who have access to the team area?" Or "Can I add a report condition to limit the results to requirements that are associated with a team area?" We did not make any changes in this area in the 7.0.3 release. I suggest asking your specific question via a support case.
