Merative Ideas Portal

Shape the future of Merative!

We invite you to shape the future of Merative, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Post your ideas

Start by posting ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,

  1. Post an idea

  2. Upvote ideas that matter most to you

  3. Get feedback from the Merative team to refine your idea

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.

Receive notification on the decision

Some ideas can be implemented at Merative, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

Provide a mechanism by which the .classpath files for external-client applications can be generated using .classpathentry fil

We request IBM to provide a mechanism by which the .classpath files for external-client applications can be generated using .classpathentry files as is done when generating the EJBServer .classpath file.

This would alleviate the need to hard-code additional entries for the .classpath file in the OOTB build script CuramCDEJ/bin/build-app.xml.

    Hello. Following is feedback from our developer. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

    Regards,

    Maribeth Kane

    Please add the following response -

    When developers build the Caseworker Portal on their local machines, we have to tell Eclipse, the tool we use for writing code, where to find all of the libraries that are used by the Caseworker Portal. OOTB provides a script that generates a list of these libraries by looking for files with a special .classpathentry extension. For any new or custom libraries that developers use or create, matching .classpathentry files can be created so that the libraries are included in the list used by Eclipse.

    The Citizen Portal application does not have a script like Caseworker Portal has. There is no compliant way to tell the Citizen Portal application about new or custom libraries that are used or created. Instead, developers must non-compliantly edit OOTB build scripts to include an additional source directory and some additional libraries within the 'external-client' target of the ant script CuramCDEJ/bin/build-app.xml. This creates a maintenance burden during upgrades as we have to remember to carry over these changes to the new version of Curam and hope they do not break anything in the new version.

    Here the few examples which were added in CuramCDEJ/bin/build-app.xml:






    There should be a mechanism to add this kind of custom entries compliantly in target name="external-client" for the clients.

    Hi Maribeth,

    In order to evaluate your request, we require that you provide more detail so that we can fully understand why adding a few additional classpath entries to the resultant files is such an issue.

    Is it because this target is run on a continuous basis and hence cannot be incorporated into a pipeline due to the fact that the manual addition of the entries has to be performed?

    Thank you,

    Hi Maribeth,

    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.
