Complex Jama 2 Jama hierarchies produce invalid ReqIF files. This is because Identifiers are duplicated between when a set or component is captured as both a SPECIFICATION and a SPEC-OBJECT

Stabilized export from baseline spec-object identifiers

Data Exchange 2.4.0

Release Date: June 12, 2019

New Features

Stabilized Unique Identifiers
when exporting from a jama instance the ReqIF Identifiers will now be populated from a seeded generation. Previously these values were randomly generated.

Resolved Issues

Fixed issues with exporting html rich text content into reqif xhtml. Restricted attributes on tags, and blacklisted a few tags as well.
Fixed an issue that failed to post a text item when a name for the item could not be determined due to missing or blank field data. A name field is now auto generated and can be manually updated at a later time.
Fixed an issue that would cause a component to be created on import instead of a set.
Fixed an issue that would not export the correct ReqIF file identifier.

Known Issues

Data Exchange 2.3.0

Release Date: April 26, 2019

New Features

Included ReqIF LONG-NAME to the mapping GUI
Adding this will allow the user to much more efficiently generate a mapping file from a source ReqIF file. Please note that this LONG-NAME attribute is not required in ReqIF.

Resolved Issues

Resolved an issue with the hierarchy converter.
Patch for NPE when pick list contained an empty values element.
Fix for ReqIF Tool Extensions with empty body.
Fixed attribute override settings, and cleaned up code.
Changed export behavior to use a new unique identifier on each export rather than reuse the identifier from previous imports. This new behavior is consistent with the recommendations set forth by the ReqIF implementor's forum.

Known Issues

During import if you are importing a set that only has folders and texts then that set will fail to import. The set being imported must have at least one item of that sets type.

Data Exchange 2.2.0

Release Date: March 11, 2019

New Features

Export from a baseline, filter, or location
You can now export from a baseline, filter or from a specific location in the hierarchy. Baseline and filters can potentially have invalid hierarchies; if this is the case, then the items (spec-objects) exported from this will be exported flat without any specifications. Previously exporting from location you only had the option to select from components. Now you can select any component, set, or folder to export content from.
Settings Menu
All of the application settings have been consolidated into a single menu. Which can be accessed by selecting “File” > “Settings”. This will open up a dialog window where you adjust the application settings.
Refresh Data
There is now a menu option to refresh the instance metadata. Which can be accessed by selecting “File” > “Refresh Data From Jama Connect”. Please note that selection this will clear all of the export/import selections that have been inputted.
Include Export Selection as Root Specification
You can now select if you want to export the selected export container (component, set, or folder) as a single specification. Previously the behavior is that you select a component, and all the first level children of that component are then used to create the specifications of the ReqIF. This new feature allows you to include the selected container with your export. You can select this feature within the settings menu. Also please note that this new feature is defaulted to be true, so if you would like to maintain the legacy behavior for export then go into the settings menu and unselect the checkbox “Include Export Selection as Root Specification”.
Reverse Relationship Direction
Data Exchange will now import and export relationships with the upstream item in Jama as the Source or Target item in ReqIF. This allows for more flexibility when moving to and from systems which may not create links with directionality in mind.
SVG to PNG Conversion
SVG images are an unsupported object type within ReqIF files. However in order to support the SVG files that already exist in Jama Connect instances these files will be converted into a png preview image.

Resolved Issues

Spec object attributes long-name was previously not respecting the mapping. This is now resolved and the attribute’s long name now uses the mapping file.
Rich text is now more robust. There were several html tags that were being converted into xhtml within the exported ReqIF file that are not compliant with ReqIF standard.
Logging improvements: some error and warning logs were not reporting correctly. This is now corrected and has more accurate and useful messages.
Exporting Specifications with a limited field mapping was previously not respecting the mapping file. This now resolved.

Known Issues

When exporting from baseline you will not be able to select baselines created from a release. This is something that will be enabled in a future update.

Data Exchange 2.1.2

Release Date: January 16, 2018

New Features

CSV export can now accept a list of item types.

Resolved Issues

Fix for limited mapping of specifications
Fix to allow explicit exporting of fields not contained in the project zip contents.

Fixed a defect causing missing items during CSV export
Fixed a defect that caused incorrect values to be reported during validation.

Added an alert on login failure.

Data Exchange 2.1.1

Release Date: December 21, 2018

New Features

Resolved Issues

Improved rich text handling of table and object tags
J2J will now use a random UUID to populate ReqIF IDENTIFIER attributes if no value is present in the Unique ID field. previously the Identifier was populated with the Jama item api ID. This can cause conflicts when moving between two jama instances.
Resolved an issue that caused ReqIF attribute value definition elements to have duplicate identifiers when an item type is exported as both a specification and a spec object.
Resolved a defect in the mapping generator that caused a NPE if the source ReqIF file contained datatype definitions with default values specified.
Added error handling to the mapping generator. Now the user will be notified if something goes wrong during mapping generation.
Resolved a defect that caused items to fail to post if the description field was null.

Known Issues

performing multiple J2J import/export cycles may result in an invalid relationship map that causes a NPE during export.
fields added to an item type in jama after an import cannot be exported with a mapping.

Data Exchange 2.1.0

Release Date: December 5, 2018

New Features

ReqIF Import Validations: there is now two new ways to validate your import before actually running the import. There is a pre-flight validation that is automatically run when you select a source ReqIF file to be imported. This pre-flight report will run quickly and give you basic information on your ReqIF source content. In addition to this there is now a validation button added to the import view. This main validation will validate the source ReqIF file and a mapping file. This validation report will determine if the mapping is correct and will ensure that the ReqIF identifier are present in the source content and also will look into Jama Connect to see if all the item types, item type fields and relationship types exist.
Performance: Get actions on the API are now completed asynchronously.

Resolved Issues

XHTML fields will be exported correctly without body tags, or escaped HTML entities.

Known Issues

Clicking login with no password entered in the password field will prevent any future clicks of the import button. To log in once this has happened, close and reopen the Data Exchange.
Complex Jama 2 Jama Hierarchies produce invalid ReqIF files. This is because Identifiers are duplicated between when a set or component is captured as both a SPECIFICATION and a SPEC-OBJECT

Release Date: November 16, 2018

New Features

NULL pointer exception introduced in 1.5.3 that would occur while processing html strings.

Known Issues & Limitations

Limited export mappings export all Jama item type fields to the ReqIF SPEC-OBJECT-TYPE, but only the fields in the mapping file should be exported.
Back button on batch import/export screen navigates to the single import/export screen.
The mapping UI uses ReqIF identifiers instead of name to create mappings. The workaround is to search for identifier in ReqIF file to get context for what's being mapped.
The mapping UI allows you to map incompatible field types e.g. string to integer. This will interrupt execution, requiring the user to correctly map ReqIF data types to supported Jama data types

Data Exchange 1.5.3
