Help Merative prioritize your ideas and requests
The Merative team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The offering manager team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at Merative works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.

Hi Sigitas,
We acknowledge that this enhancement request has been accepted for consideration. It may not be delivered within the release currently under development however the theme is aligned with our current multi-year strategy and will be considered for a future release.
IBM may consider and evaluate any RFE Community feedback for this request through activities such as voting.
IBM will update this request in the future.
Thank you for your interest in the Cúram product.

The requested feature has technical and operational benefits.
The real-lime use case for this feature is while testing renewals, change in circumstance and reasonable opportunity period in METS.
The current bootstrap feature in Curam freezes time whenever someone overrides the date. This essentially means the clock doesn't move forward rather is stuck in time. Any feature which uses date time in curam will always have the same date timestamp if the actions were performed subsequently. To accomplish this as of today the development team will have to always stop the server update the bootstrap with updated time and again repeat the process. This process in itself adds additional overhead during testing. Developers cannot use sysdate time related queries or if used then they cannot be tested by override date feature.
If the bootstrap date can move forward from the given date then it means that the system is working in future and above mentioned overhead can be eliminated.
1. For example, one of our custom feature called Reasonable Opportunity Period (ROP) is extremely time sensitive and a lot of requirements depend on the latest(by date time) action that took place. Using bootstrap configuration for time travelling would mean that all actions are recorded as if it occurred concurrently. That is, all actions have the same timestamp. This breaks a lot of our implementation that tries to derive the latest action by looking at when it occurred.
2. Most of our test cycles have the same set of test cases but with a different start date. For example our current test cycle should begin with a sysdate of 9/1/2018 and continues through 9/30/2018 with a cycle duration of 30 days. Currently we configure bootstrap date to 9/1/2018 on the first day of test cycle and reset it 9/2/2018 on the second day of test cycle, so on & so forth. With a moving time, we can set it only once at the beginning of cycle and with 30 passing days, the clock would move from 9/1/2018 through 9/30/2018 with no intervention.
Hi Sigitas,
In order to evaluate your request we require that you provide some real world business examples of where a time aspect of a scenario would need to be overridden for a test.
If we do not receive this information within 30 days, this request will be closed.
Thank you,

Hi Sigitas,
Thank you for your enhancement request.
We require some further analysis to determine whether or not this enhancement can be considered in a future release.
I will provide another response when our investigation is complete.
Thank you,
