2.0 What's New in Dimensions CM 2009 R1?

This is the first release of Dimensions to adopt the new numbering system. It includes the following new features and enhancements.

2.1 New Features for Parallel Development

Dimensions support for Parallel Development has been updated in this release to follow modern best practices in an intuitive way. New features and functions have been provided that offer an alternative environment to that provided in previous releases by Dimensions projects (which are still retained).

2.1.1 Streams

There is a new type of container for items, called a stream. Streams have been designed to be better suited to collaborative development using a “copy, modify, merge” process. Projects are still retained, and function as in previous releases, but are more appropriate to a “lock, modify, unlock” development process. You can configure your process model to allow users to work with: only streams, only projects, or both projects and streams.

Streams, and the features that are intended for working with them, are designed for carrying out small amounts of change and integrating them with the main body of code before starting on a new set of changes. They facilitate an iterative development process where the developers resolve any conflicts and build and test the application in their work areas before committing those changes to the repository.

Streams enforce a single line of descent. They do not contain parallel branches of the same items, and therefore it is easy to build working code from the tip revisions at any point in time. The following key features have been introduced:

• Update command: This updates your work area with the changes between the stream and the work area. If there are conflicts, you can resolve them during the Update process using the features provided by the Synchronize wizard or DM command line client
• Deliver command: This updates the stream in the repository with changes from the work area provided that there are no conflicts. If conflicts are present, then you are given the option to perform an Update to resolve those conflicts.
• Atomic Commit: The Deliver process is performed atomically, so that if any failure occurs, the whole delivery will be rolled back.

Content in a work area can originate from different streams and this information is recorded in the work area. The user can choose to deliver content originating from one or more streams into a target stream. There is also the concept of the parent stream from which a stream is created and into which it will be subsequently merged.

There is an option that you can set in the Administration Console that restricts the users of the database to either only view streams or projects as an alternative to working with both. For existing customers upgrading from a previous release of Dimensions, Streams are hidden and will need to be enabled via the Administration Console if required. There is also a new wizard that enables you to quickly create a new stream or project.

Streams are supported for both CM and Express in the desktop client, Windows Explorer plug-in, Eclipse and Visual Studio integrations and the Command-Line client. Streams have also been included into the sample process models.

The following features apply to Projects only and are not applicable to Streams

• Check out and check in
• Merge Project or Item
• Resolve Merge Conflicts
• Auto-resolve Merge Conflicts
• Use of the Project Merge tool (Project Compare is applicable to Streams)

For an overview, see the chapter “Using Streams” in the User’s Guide.

2.1.2 Limitations on the use of streams

There are the following limitations in the use of streams:

• You cannot currently use streams when working with the web client.
• You cannot currently use Streams when working with an SCC integration
• Streams cannot be used with MVS data areas, work areas, or deployment areas.

2.1.3 Automatic File Conflict Resolution

Dimensions CM now has the ability to automatically resolve non-conflicting file content in the Update processes for streams.

2.1.4 Developer Command-Line Client

There is a new command-line client that is intended for working with streams. The syntax and commands available have been aimed at users familiar with the Subversion tool to provide a more user-friendly alternative to the existing dmcli client. A set of commands are provided to enable you to perform updates between your work area and the streams in the repository and for a number of other related tasks.

Some of the key functions you can perform are:

• Create and delete streams
• Update your work area from a stream and deliver changes in your work area to a stream.
• Display information from the repository, such as the contents of a stream, or a list of the streams or baselines in the database.
• Display differences between your work area and a stream, and update and resolve code conflicts.
• Add annotations (or comments) to files and review their history.

For details, see the Command-Line Reference.

2.2 IDE Integrations

2.2.1 Eclipse

The following features have been added:

• Integration with SBM (see IDM Integration below)
• Support for streams (see Streams above)
• A “Working List” feature, that allows you to maintain a list of requests that you are currently working with.

2.2.2 Visual Studio

There is a new integration for Visual Studio:

• Full Rich IDE functionality for Developers
• Integration with SBM (see IDM Integration below)
• Support for streams (see Streams above)
• A “Working List” feature, that allows you to maintain a list of requests that you are currently working with.
• Improved Usability and performance
• A new method of binding to improve parallel development support. A migration is needed for the new binding syntax.

All Projects in a Solution must now be in the same Dimensions project or stream.

Note that this new integration is only available for VS .Net 2005 and 2008. Only the older SCC-based integration is available for users of Visual Studio prior to 2005.

Also note that for existing customers to use this new integration they must migrate their projects using the VS Projects Migration Utility. This is included in the client installation. For details of how to use this tool, consult the Serena Dimensions 2009 R1 Visual Studio Projects Migration Guide.

2.3 Windows Explorer Integration

The Windows Explorer plug-in has been enhanced to support working with streams.

You can create a stream or project using the Create Project/Stream wizard when setting a folder as a work area.

There is a new automatic login facility that stores your login credentials so that you only need to log in to Dimensions once.

2.4 Terminology Changes

As a result of new functionality and usability changes, the following terms have been changed:

• Upload becomes Deliver
• Download becomes Update
• Update Item becomes Revise Item.
• Working Location becomes Work Area
• Working Request becomes Default Request
• Working Branch becomes Default Branch
• Cross-Project Inbox becomes Global Inbox
• Cross-Project Catalog becomes Global Catalog
• Project Baseline becomes Tip Baseline

2.5 IDM Integration

There is an important new integration to Dimensions that enables requests or issues from a third-party IDM (Issue Defect Management) tool to be used to track Dimensions items. This is a direct integration based on web services, and no synchronizations need to be performed. You can use these IDM requests to relate to changes of items as an alternative to using internal Dimensions CM requests.

For this release the integration supports issues from SBM (Serena Business Mashups). Issues from SBM can be used as an alternative to Dimensions requests. This feature is supported in the desktop client, the Windows Explorer integration, the Eclipse and Visual Studio integrations and the command-line client. In the Eclipse and Visual Studio environments you can also directly access the SBM browser to view and update issues and run reports.

The result of this is that you can configure the following options in your process model at the base database level:

• Use SBM issues to track changes
• Use Dimensions requests to track changes
• Do not use any Request Management. This means that all request-related menu items and tabs will be hidden from the user in the GUI clients.

For details, see the Process Modeling User's Guide.

2.6 Visual Enhancements

2.6.1 Web Client

The following enhancements have been made to the look and feel of the web client:

• Toolbar icons have been completely revised to improve recognition.
• Changes have also been made to the icons in the navigation area.
• The overall presentation, color and layout have been improved.

These changes will be extended to other Dimensions products in future releases.

2.6.2 Desktop Client

There have been improvements in the following areas:

• The overall appearance of the main window and Login page have been enhanced
• The pedigree display has new icons and toolbar buttons.
• The small toolbar in the grid displays has been redesigned.

2.6.3 Synchronize Wizard

• This tool has been enhanced to support working with streams and the new IDM integration
• The first page has been redesigned so that all the options are now on one page.
• You have the option of not displaying the details pages.
• There is new set of toolbar buttons on the file and folder differences page.
• The options displayed at the bottom of the file and folder differences page are now organized in a tabbed arrangement for better usability.
• There are new options to automatically close the wizard on successful completion and to skip the summary page.

2.6.4 Other Visual Enhancements

• The file merge tool has a new set of toolbar buttons and icons that are consistent with those in the Synchronize wizard.
• There is now a new icon display in the project merge tool to inform you when processing is taking place.
• The Administration Console has also had some visual enhancements reflecting those in the web client.
• The Migration Console now has a new look and feel.

2.7 RM-CM Integration

The RM-CM integration has been enhanced to:

• Associate multiple Dimensions RM projects to a Dimensions CM product
• Associate a Dimensions RM project to multiple Dimensions CM products
• Provide enhanced traceability reports in RM which include CM Requests

For more details, see the Dimensions CM User’s Guide, and the Dimensions CM-Dimensions RM ALM Integration Guide.

2.8 Migrations

2.8.1 Subversion Migration

You can now use the extended migration tools in Dimensions CM to migrate Subversion directories and objects into Dimensions. The Migration Console is a graphical front end that enables you to move data from the supported Subversion sources into Dimensions products, allowing you to define how the data is mapped into Dimensions.

The Migration Console includes the following features:

• You can migrate all or part of a Subversion repository into a Dimensions CM project hierarchy. Note: The ability to migrate Subversion repositories directly to streams will be available in an imminent patch release. You can, however, migrate content to projects and create streams from a baseline taken from those projects. For details of how to do this, see the User’s guide.
• Migration preserves your Subversion repository structure.
• You can migrate your Subversion trunk, branches, and tags to separate projects.
• You can also optionally migrate tags to Dimensions baselines or attributes.

Migration automatically creates process model data in Dimensions, including products, users, groups, privileges, item types, design parts, projects, baselines, and relationships. For details, see the Subversion Migration Guide.

2.8.2 VM Migration

There is an improved VM Migration console:

• You can migrate specifying date or number of revisions
• You can map promotion groups to stages
• You can select labels in the migration process
• You can map VM groups to Dimensions roles
• The performance has been improved.

2.8.3 SSO

Dimensions now supports Serena Single Sign On (SSO), which can optionally be enabled for managing user authentication at the time of login. Once a user creates a Dimensions session using the SSO login process, the session will have access to all SSO-enabled tools (such as Serena Business Mashups) that are called from within the session without being prompted for authentication.

This means, for example, that if you were writing a Mashup that uses both Dimensions CM and Serena Business Mashups, they will be able to call each-other’s web services without specifying user names and passwords. This capability is also used in the IDM integration with Dimensions, so that users are able to directly access Serena IDM from within a Dimensions client UI.

2.9 Web Services and ALF Events

The following Web Services have been added:

• Unrelate Items from Parts
• Is the Dimensions system CM or Express?

The following ALF Events have been added:

• Build Project Started
• Build Project Completed
• Build Baseline Started
• Build Baseline Completed
• Create Request
• Update Request

Web Services and ALF Events can use either user id and password or SSO.

For details, see the Web Services API Developer’s Guide.

2.10 Enhancements to Replicator

2.10.1 New Default Replicator Behavior

By default, when items are replicated, as part of baseline or project replication, all relationships between the item and change requests, design parts and other items are also replicated. In addition the related items and any required placeholder items are also replicated as objects. This does not apply to the related design parts or change requests. The relationships of any dumped placeholder items are not dumped.

For details, see the Administrator’s Guide.

2.11 Dimensions Build and Mainframe Enhancements

The following features and enhancements have been added to Dimensions Build:

• Build item and build request now populate work areas with the selected source item revision. For deployment areas, a warning is issued for any items, or related items, that are not at the selected build stage. These enhancements ensure the proper item revision exists in the build area before the build is executed.
• Dimensions Build now supports streams. See “Streams” above.
• The Dimensions templating language has been enhanced to pass variables between steps. Additional templater keywords such as substring and pos have been added for better string processing.  Inline REXX is also now supported.
• SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is now supported on mainframe build nodes
• The following parameters have been added to web.xml:
  • search.path.match.areas.logical.nodes
    • Checks area logical nodes when search paths are being calculated.
    • Default: true
  • force.unordered.transition.execute.later
    • Forces unordered transitions to be executed after transitions with a higher build order.
    • Default: false
• A new template variable has been added to the Build Request Definition (BRD) file:
  • DMJOBID: displays the ID of a launched build job.
• Roles can now be assigned to build stages.
• The IMPORT and EXPORT commands have been extended to support the data settings in the Build Administration console.
• The XABC command (Unrelate Area from Build Configuration) now de-links an area from a build configuration.
• The RLIST command now has a WAIT/NOWAIT qualifier to control whether the command waits for job being queried to finish. The BLD/BLD command qualifiers BATCH/NOBATCH have also been renamed to WAIT/NOWAIT.
• A DESERV exit has been added for zOS Build which allows automatic discovery of link dependencies during a build.
• Build ordering within a configuration has been extended to support ordering final targets which have intermediate target dependencies. Previous releases only supported ordering final targets which had source item dependencies.

For details, see the Build Tools User's Guide.

2.12 Performance Enhancements

The performance of the project merge tool has been enhanced when processing large numbers of items.
There is enhanced performance when creating, updating from, and delivering to projects when a large number of files is involved. All clients benefit from these improvements.

2.13 Installation and Upgrade Enhancements

This release is a full installation/upgrade. Enhancements are:

• Single CM and Express installations
• The Visual Studio integration is now installed as part of the client installation instead of requiring a separate installation.
• The need to use the Oracle SYSTEM user has been removed. The installer will prompt the user to enter the Oracle DBA user which no longer has to be the default SYSTEM.
• There is a new out-of-the-box process model
• SQL Server 2005 support has been added (There is no need for the manual procedure required in previous releases)
• Oracle 11g is now supported
• There is now a Dimensions agent for zLinux, the Linux operating system compiled to run on IBM mainframes.

Note that DB2 is no longer supported.

For details, see the Installation Guide for Windows or the Installation Guide for UNIX.

2.14 Sample Databases

During a new installation, you have the following options for the sample database:

• Typical, Stream Development: This provides sample data for teams preferring to use a “copy, modify, merge” methodology, typically used by Agile teams, where no lock is applied before code changes are made, and a single line of descent is enforced. This is the default process model.
• Typical, Non-Stream Development: This provides sample data for teams preferring a “lock, modify, unlock” methodology, where a lock is typically applied before code changes are made. It is intended for more traditional development or for migrating from other tools such as CVS or Version manager.
• Intermediate: This model is intended for users who require a high degree of control and process in a regulatory environment.
• Custom: This is a blank database intended for Serena consultants or SCM professionals who want to construct a tailored process model from scratch,

During an upgrade, the installer will transparently upgrade your pre-2009 process model for continued use.

4.0 What Was Fixed in Dimensions CM 10.1.3.3?

4.1 Build

• 153301 The ordering of the build options had changed following a patch release to 10.1.3, causing problems with existing build templates.
  
• 149300 Dimensions Build was failing with a SOAP error when running on Tomcat or WAS on SSL
  

4.2 Change Management

• 135178 It was possible for a user to create a primed request on a design part for which they did not have a role, and thus the request did not appear in their inbox. If the parameter DM_PRIME_TARGET y is set in the server dm.cfg file, then when you are priming a request, the target request instead of the based-on request will be used in the privilege check.
• 154092 Deploying a request with child requests when the traverse option was selected was failing on Solaris servers.

4.3 Desktop Client

• 145940 Selecting a user-defined attribute in the Customize views dialog, and then sorting on that attribute resulted in the field being identified by the prompt instead of the attribute name. This caused problems with attributes that had the same prompt.
• 153389 In the desktop client, when displaying a list of RM requirements, clicking the column heading resulted in only the first one being selected, rather than all the requirements.

4.4 Integrations

• 152836 Using the RAD integration, it was possible to lose data because the editor window was not refreshed correctly. This is now controlled through an extra option in Preferences under File Modification.
• 153260 Dimensions was not preserving the CR line terminators in the RAD Integration.
• 153335 Baselined requirements in Dimensions RM that had been associated with requests in CM did not show the requests in RM.

4.5 Web Client

• 131077 The list of request queries in the web client is now sorted correctly.
• 148081 There was a problem when adding a row to a multi-field multi-value attribute in the web client.
• 149273 When creating a directory item with a UNIX browser using a Windows server, the name of the directory included a "\" character at the end.

4.6 Other Enhancements

• 149946 The PDIFF function was using an excessive amount of memory when uploading a large number of requests.
  
• 150962 When projects having the option "Require change control when refactoring" switched off were merged, the message "A request must be specified when modifying the project structure" appeared because the resulting MWS command had the /PATH_CONTROL qualifier set.
• 151248 When there were a lot of users accessing Dimensions, the process threads were spending a long time waiting for each-other.
• 154567 When attempting to deploy requests that had been migrated from VM, the operation was failing with a spurious message saying that the user did not have the privilege.

5.0 What Was New in Dimensions CM 10.1.3.2?

5.1 Web Services API and ALF Events

Additions have been made to Serena Dimensions CM Web services API (Application Programming Interface) and Dimensions CM ALF (Application Lifecycle Framework) events. See the Web Services API Developer's Guide for further details. Detailed HTML documentation for the Dimensions CM ALF events and Web services is available for download, as a zip file, from the Serena Support Web site from the same area as the rest of the Dimensions CM documentation.

The following additional Web services are available:

• buildBaseline
• buildProject
• checkInItem
• checkOutItem
• createDesignPartBaseline
• createProjectBaseline
• createRevisedBaseline
• deployBaseline
• getItems
• listProjectItems
• listProjectRequests
• moveItemToPart
• relateItemsToParts
• relateRequestToRequests
• unrelateRequestsFromRequests

Dimensions CM generates the following additional ALF events on the following actions:

• Build Baseline (build submitted) 
• Build Baseline (build completed)
• Build Project (build submitted) 
• Build Project (build completed)

5.2 Dimensions Build

The following Enhancements have been made in Dimensions Build:

• It is now possible to define a build configuration for a parent project and be able to navigate through the related sub-projects to locate targets, thus having a single build configuration that can be used for a whole Eclipse group. Previously, only the project that owned the build configuration could be queried.
  
  
• As from Dimensions CM 10.1.3 the Build Item and Build Request dialogs show the full list of configuration build rules from the Target tab, instead of filtering the list to the candidate items as in previous releases. You can now restore the previous behavior by setting the following entry in the dm.cfg file:

  DM_GD_RET_ALL_TARGETS FALSE

• It is now possible to disable the Rebuild button in the Build Monitoring tab in the Administration Console: This can be achieved by setting the following a parameter in the dm.cfg file:

  DM_BLD_DISABLE_REBUILD TRUE

• A new user callout feature has been added for build templates that will allow the user to write custom user exists to perform processing within a template.  Please contact Serena Support for additional documentation on this new feature.
  
  
• A new substring feature has been added to the template language with the following syntax:
  
  )CALL Substring V1 V2 spos len
  
  For example:
  
  )SET V2=The Quick Brown Fox
  )CALL Substring V1 V2 0 2
  %V1.Extensibility
  
  will put Th to output.      
  
  )SET V2=The Quick Brown Fox
  )CALL Substring V1 V2 -3 1
  %V1.
  
  will put F to the output.
  
  
• A new position feature has been added to the template language with the following syntax:
  
  CALL pos V3 VMAIN VSUB
  
  For example:
  
  )SET VMAIN=This is mine now
  )SET VSUB=mine
  )CALL pos V1 VMAIN VSUB
  
  will result in V1 containing the value 8
  
  
• A new feature has been added that allows the passing of template variables between build steps by using the following new template commands:
  
  )SAVE "groupname" variable/variablemask
  )LOAD "groupname" [option]
  )DELETE "groupname"
  )IFGROUPDEF "groupname"
  )IFGROUPNDEF "groupname"
  
  Please contact Serena Support for detailed information on how to use these new commands.
  

5.3 Other Enhancements

• In Dimensions CM 10.1.3 it had not been possible to use both baseline deployment and request deployment in the same project. This is now possible.
  
  
• JDeveloper 10.1.3 is now supported by Dimensions CM.

6.0 What Was Fixed in Dimensions CM 10.1.3.2?

6.1 Baseline Management

• 148815 There was a situation in some circumstances where a revised baseline did not contain the correct revisions.
• 149011 There was a situation where a revised baseline contained an item revision that was not related to the request used to revise the baseline.

6.2 Build

• 139350 In Dimensions CM 10.1.2.x, It was not possible to perform a build when the build configuration file was checked out.
• 144990 There was a problem where Serena Build was sometimes mapping build attributes to the item attributes of the first revision of an item instead of the revision actually being built.
• 148494 Attempting to perform the Add New Build Configuration function was resulting in an error under some circumstances.
• 149414 There was excessive I/O activity on the SCBC server when displaying the build status.
• 149530 There was a problem where the build would not run from a Windows Client with Dimensions 10.1.3 Build on Solaris 10.

6.3 Change Management

• 144989 The DMEMAIL process was failing when encountering a certain row in mails2process that contained an umlaut.
• 145507 There was a problem where files with an extension of .reg were being corrupted after a get had been performed.
• 146301 It was possible for the DEVELOPER role to action an item to the REL state, which should not have been allowed.
• 148690 When deleting multiple revisions of the same item in the desktop client, an error was occurring and only the tip revision was being deleted.
• 150921 When removing request to design part relationships users' inboxes were not being updated.

6.4 DBA

• 145422 An error was occurring when trying to create a baseline using SQL Server if the collation type on the base database was different than the default for the SQL Server.
  

6.5 Desktop Client

• 145848 When the design part view was selected, no related items were being displayed and an error message appeared on some server/database platforms.
• 146066 Selecting the option to edit an item query was taking a very long time to display the required dialog box.
• 148176 When editing an item which used Microsoft Word as its associated editor, the operation failed if the Word application was already open.
• 148259 Setting the parameter DM_PRODUCT_USER Y In the dm.cfg file resulted in the design part view in the dekstop client showing a blank line for each request not related to the selected design part.
• 148704 A user with the $ORIGINATOR role did not have the "Action to Next State" privilege to enable them to action a request to an off-normal state.
• 150327 Dragging and dropping folders in the desktop client was sometimes causing corruption of the folder structure.

6.6 Integrations

• 145069 After a project in Dimensions had been shared in Eclipse, some of the roles and privileges had been lost.
• 147308 When using Mercury Quality Center to create a Dimensions DR automatically, the user needed to manually relate the DR to a Project in Dimensions, but when the DR was actioned from it's initial state it became un-related to the project.
• 148326 There was a performance problem in the Eclipse integration when loading Eclipse.
• 149116 There was a problem with setting the correct time zone in the CruiseControl plug-in.
• 147858 There was a situation where the Dimensions ALM Integration between RM 10.1.4 and CM 10.1.3 was not working.
• 151069 When actioning a request related to an RM requirement to the final lifecycle state, an error was occurring.

6.7 Installation

• 143857 Spurious messages were being displayed in the Windows event viewer when a Dimensions agent was started.
  

6.8 Version Management

• 148682 If the user had the "User has any role on the transition from the current stage to the selected stage" privilege rule applied with regard to deployment, the user was able to deploy to any stage even if they had no roles on the Global Stage Lifecycle.
• 149194 An error, "COR4300079E Error: The item is the last non-checked out revision in this project", was sometimes occurring when attempting to remove an item from a project.
• 149996 There was a performance problem when concurrently running dmcli scripts containing SWF commands.
