New Quick Start: Method Composer

 

New Quick Start: Getting Started with Method Composer

IBM Engineering Lifecycle Optimization - Method Composer (MEC) is a tool platform that enables process engineers and managers to implement, deploy, and maintain processes for organizations or individual projects. 

MEC provides a knowledge base of intellectual capital which you can browse, manage and deploy. MEC is designed to be a content management system that provides a common management structure and look and feel for all of your content, rather than being a document management system in which you would store and access hard to maintain legacy documents all in their own shapes and formats.

MEC also provides powerful automation to enact practice content by deploying it as a set of work items in IBM Engineering Workflow Management so that tasks may be assigned to engineers. This helps project leads by speeding up deployment of complex projects. Such deployed tasks automatically have links back to the practice content, providing in-context guidance to engineers on their assigned work, helping them get up to speed much faster.

In this Quick Start you will begin by browsing some already-deployed practice content and work items. You will then create new practice content using the Method Composer Eclipse client, before publishing that to the Jazz team server both as browsable content and a set of deployable work items. Lastly you will explore an alternative way of creating practice content by using IBM Engineering DOORS Next as an authoring tool.

Custom Expressions in JRS Report Builder

Image
On the format results tab in JRS Report Builder there is a button to add a Custom Expression: But what does it do and how do you use it ?  The first thing to understand is that custom expressions are written in the language of the data source: Data Warehouse: SQL Lifecycle Query Engine: SPARQL They are a great way of adding data to your report that isn't directly reportable. The easiest way to understand it is by example. Let's say you are reporting on requirements in DOORS Next and those requirements have two attributes:  Let's say that in the report you want a sum of those attributes. Sure you could add a third custom attribute into the requirements module and then write some java script to populate it, but instead calculating it dynamically as part of the report is surprisingly easy. First create the report as normal and add the two custom attributes as columns. Then click Add Custom Expression to add another column that will be populated by your expression.  In this ca

New Quick Starts for January

What are Quick Starts ? Everyone has demands on their time, so learning new things, especially potentially complex tools. It's not easy to fit learning new things into our busy schedules. Quick Starts are short, focused, introductory hands-on labs that cover the entire Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) suite. Deploy a pre-configured environment with all of the tools and data you need in just a few minutes. Quick Starts are designed to take less than two hours to complete so whether you want to rapidly get up to speed on a topic or simply kick the tires of a particular offering or capability, Quick Starts are the place to come. There are currently 31 Quick Starts - you can find them all here:  https://demo.innovationcloud.info/ELMQuickStarts.html New Quick Starts for January: Getting Started with Rhapsody and Simulink Automating Model Based Systems Engineering with Rhapsody and Harmony Getting Started with Engineering Lifecycle Management and Jira Getting Started with the Rhaps
