5.0.03.005: Patch 5 for Service Pack 3

Patch 5 is now available for Release Process Management (RPM) version 5.0.03. This patch includes enhancements. 

Enhancements

This patch includes the following enhancements.

With this release, you can mark request templates as global. All the users in the system can create requests using these global templates. You can mark a template global either while creating the template or after creating it. 

In addition, when creating a request from a new or an existing template (whether global or not), you can select the application to which you want to assign the request. Applications are available for selection based on the access permissions. For more information, see Managing request templates.

To mark a template as global using REST API, see the PUT and POST methods on REST request templates. 

With this release, you can define dependency for a step. A step can be dependent on a request or a specific step of a request. If a step is dependent on a request, the step will not execute unless all the steps of the request are executed. You can define this dependency only if you have the View Deployment Dependency Tab permission. For more information about the permission, see Requests permissions.

You can define the dependency for a step on the Dependency tab or while importing a step. To define a dependency using REST API, see the PUT and POST methods on REST steps. 

Now you can set up any .jpeg, .jpg, png, or .gif image as the logo of your organization in the RPM UI. The logo appears in the upper right corner of the UI. Also, you can add a banner to the Login page to notify users of any important information. For more information, see Setting up logo and banner.

With this release, you can restrict non-root users from viewing the full automation run results for a step. Non-root users can view full results (the script, input parameters for the script, and the script execution results) for a step only if they have the View Full Automation Results permission. Otherwise, they can view only script execution results. For more information, see Viewing automation results.

The following updates are made to the audited changes:

• The attributes affected by an operation are formatted to improve readability. Each attribute is displayed on a separate line.
  
  
• For the Update, Enable, and Disable operations, the search_term attribute no longer appears.
• The Audit notes in the right pane show how to interpret the audited changes.
