Releases: MicroFocus/ppm-octane-connector
V1.7(compatible with PPM10.0.2)
This version is a Beta feature and is not considered stable.
This connector works ONLY for PPM 10.0.2+.
New features
- PPM-Octane request integration supports shared epic synchronization.
- PPM-Octane request integration supports the wildcard ALM Octane project in request agile mapping, enabling you to create the same request agile mapping for all the ALM Octane workspaces for which you have the ALM Octane predefined workspace admin role.
Changes:
- Workspace candidate change. Only the ALM Octane workspaces for which you have the ALM Octane predefined “Workspace Admin” role can be selected to retrieve data to PPM for PPM-Octane request.
- The 'API access' used to configure the PPM-Octane integration must have the 'Space Admin' role if your ALM Octane version is earlier than 16.1.8.
Limitations:
When you map a PPM request type to the wildcard(*) ALM Octane workspace:
- If you map one PPM request field to multiple Octane entity fields that are available in different ALM Octane workspaces and set the sync direction to “Bidirectional” or “From Agile To PPM”, the value in the PPM request field may be set to empty.
- If ALM Octane workspaces have multiple entity fields with the same name, only one entity field is listed (randomly) for selection when setting field mappings.
V1.6(compatible with PPM9.66+)
Fix Defect#243065 Work plan integration issue.
US#254020 Implement Octane SSO Authentication in task mapping.
V1.5.0(compatible with PPM9.64, compatible with Octane15.1.66.26)
Bug Fixes:
- Resolves the following synchronization failures with the latest Octane version (15.1.66.26): request, work plan tasks, and time sheet external data.
- Improves the performance when synchronizing data between PPM and Octane.
V1.4 (compatible with PPM9.52)
New feature
- PPM-Octane request integration supports more field types and value mapping
Fields of the types: drop-down-list, auto-complete-list, and text area are supported for PPM. Correspondingly, fields of the types: reference and memo are supported for ALM Octane. When both fields in a field mapping are lists of values, value mapping is enabled. - PPM-Octane time sheet integration supports SSO access to ALM Octane
When you import time from Octane to PPM time sheets, PPM supports SSO access to ALM Octane.
Fixed issue:Authentication failure because of SSO cookie.
v1.3 (bundled with PPM 9.50 & can work with 9.51)
The Timesheet Integration for that connector will ONLY work for PPM 9.5+, it will not work anymore on PPM 9.4X
New Features
- "Request Integration" support (PPM 9.50 only) - can sync a PPM request with an Octane Feature or Story.
- Bi-directional fields sync - Only supports text fields & user fields mapping for now.
- Support of new 9.50 Timesheet integration, with auto-mapping supported. New option for timesheet import:
- Group Lines by Epic, Release, Workspace
Important note for PPM 9.42 GA users
If you want to deploy this connector on PPM 9.42 GA, you need to deploy the attached hotfix 942-HOTFIX-QCIM1L65323-QCCR1L65323-V1.jar .
This is not required if you're running PPM 9.41, PPM 9.42.000X or a later version.
v1.2.1 beta
This version is still in beta and is not considered stable
Bug Fixes:
- (Defect#211020) Owner of backlog item in Octane should be matched with PPM user (based on email) when importing work plan tasks.

This is not required if you're running PPM 9.41, PPM 9.42.0001 or a later version.
v1.2 beta
This version is still in beta and is not considered stable
New features:
Work plan Integration:
- New option to compute % complete: "% Backlog Items count Done". This ignores work or story points, and considers all stories/defects equally to compute the progress %. Note that as a side effect the remaining effort in actuals of defects/stories tasks (when not showing all backlog items details) will be adjusted to match this % complete value.
Bug Fixes:
- (Defect#191009) When not showing backlog items details, the status & dates of the defects/stories tasks are incorrect.

v1.1 beta
This version is still in beta and is not considered stable
New features:
Work plan Integration:
- Possibility to decide which features to import (US/Defect/QS)
- Items can now be grouped by Sprints (like in v1.0), by backlog (Epic/Feature/Backlog Items) or by Status.
- It's possible to import only one Epic and its contents (Features/Backlog Items)
- Possibility to decide whether to import each item in its own task or just create one task per issue type (US/Defect/QS)
- Possibility to create a new Release in Octane when linking the task in PPM work plan
- Actuals are now synched from the time entered in Octane tasks (tasks themselves are not synched, only their actuals).
Bug Fixes:
- Fix problems with Portfolio Epics SP sync with latest Octane version (12.55.7+)
