Consistent Global Configuration Administration Across Jazz Applications

Context:

Administrators work across RM, ETM, EWM, and Global Configuration. However, GC administration is not always consistent with the rest of the Jazz applications, creating confusion and additional learning effort.

Problem: Administrative tasks behave differently in GC. For example:

  • Archiving a configuration is less intuitive than in RM.
  • Some actions, such as Export Project template, are only available from within a project area (needed in doors Next, ETM and EWM also)
  • Administrators may need project membership to perform administrative tasks.

Impact: Administration becomes more complex and time-consuming. These inconsistencies create confusion and reduce administrator productivity.

Goal of the Idea: Align the GC administration experience with other Jazz applications.

Why is it Useful?:

  • Simplifies administration.
  • Reduces training and support needs.
  • Improves consistency across IBM ELM.
  • Allows administrators to work more efficiently.

How Should it Work?:

Standardize GC administration menus, permissions, and workflows to match RM, ETM, and EWM, allowing administrators to perform common tasks without requiring project membership.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. The IBM Engineering team has carefully reviewed this idea, and based on our understanding, this is a valid idea but it does not fit our 18-24 months plans. Although we are closing this request, it will be kept in IBM's ideas repository and you can request to reopen idea after this time. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us to partner with you in developing our products.
