Improvement of selector flexibility is necessary

It is currently not possible to use selector flexible during a deployment. E.g. once you start a project you define an environment to deploy to (ENV1) which then filters available servers to all of the ones belonging to that environment. Later you define the application (App1) and only those servers in ENV1 and APP1 will be used for deployment. The selectors for ENV1 and APP1 should be independent.

This scenario has been discussed with Kristofer A Duer in more detail.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. The offering team has carefully reviewed this idea and has decided that it does not fit into our current plans or the age of the RFE suggests it is outdated or has been delivered over the time, so the idea will be closed. The idea will be kept in IBM's ideas repository and may still be voted on. It might be reassessed or reopened for additional feedback in the future. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us the privilege of partnering with you in developing our products.

    Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
    Brand - WebSphere
    Product family - Application Platform
    Product - Build Forge

    For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
    Brand - Rational
    Product family - Product & application lifecycle management
    Product - Build Forge

    It would probably be easier to discuss this over the phone. The idea is that you have an environment with let's say Siebel, SAP, Tibco in it and you have multiple environments like Dev, AT, UAT. Now each server "knows" it belongs to two dimensions (e.g. the environment and the application), but this cannot be easily reflected in BuildForge (e.g. when i choose the "Dev" selector for my deployment and then want to use the "SAP" selector that gives me just the "SAP" servers with "Dev", i am not able to do this but rather require to have an explicit "Dev.SAP" selector)

    Hi, Could you please give a more detailed and clear user senario? I am not very clear about "join selector", Thanks.

    This RFE is consistent with our strategy and product roadmap and IBM is continuing to evaluate.
