RSA-RTE: Target RTS: Missing common types to be send over protocols

The TargetRTS only supports the CppPrimitiveDatatypes to be send over protocols without type descriptor (like int, long, float). For Modern C++ application it would be required to also support more modern types like uint64_t,std::string etc.

Add warning if entering a composite state without an entry point when initial transition inside exists

Please introduce a warning if entering a composite state without an entry point when there is an initial transition inside. The current RSARTE implementation of the history feature is not UML 2.x conform, but understood by experienced RSARTE users.

Add Related Assets Search capacity increase.

When adding related assets on an asset in RAM you are limited to only being able to filter through 100 assets. Even though the search filter shows the community and all the assets only 100 are shown with no way to choose which are shown.

Add Resource Link Granularity

The add resource link in RAM allows our project to link to test plans and cases in Rational Quality Manager but does not allow us to link assets to Test environments or test suites which our project currently uses.

RSA-RTE: Allow setting font color for state internal transitions

The "new" view for state internal transitions shows them in a compartment below the state diagram instead of on the border (as in RoseRT). It's not possible to set such a transition's font color though. Using a different color can be a useful way ...

My client, British Telecommunications is currently piloting IBM Rational Asset Manager to manage over 40,000 interfaces within their organization. As part of the pilot they are bulk uploading 200,000 assets into RAM (including approvers etc). At t...

RAM - Move data between RAM instances/environments

In this release, 7.5.2, it is not possible to backup and restore data from one RAM to another. This was possible in 7.5.1.1. We would like functionality to be able to do this, without coding ourselves. Using Libraries is not an option, we have 12....

System: Rational Asset Manager v7.5.1.2 RAM ?Search for Assets? page doesn't allow selecting Description and Short Description fields to the select columns list. Because of that, "Download as spreadsheet" will not have Description and Short Descri...
