Abstract
We identified a defect, which impacted upgrades from IBM® Engineering Requirements DOORS Next 6.x to 7.0.2 iFix008 only.
We have since resolved the problem and reissued iFix008 as iFix008a
Content
In edge cases where data in IBM® Engineering Requirements DOORS Next 6.x has certain characteristics, the upgrade left an unusable version of that data in 7.0.2 iFix008.
We have now resolved the issue and reissued the iFix008 as iFix008a.
Any customers that downloaded iFix008 and have not upgraded should not upgrade from IBM® Engineering Requirements DOORS Next 6.0.6.x to 7.0.2 using 7.0.2 iFix008. Instead, download iFix008a.
If necessary, in test scenarios customers can continue testing 7.0.2 iFix008 upgrades, performance, and functionality.
