Server Side Conflict Resolution

Conflicts arise when there are multiple versions of an IP included within an IPV Hierarchy. Previously, conflicts could only be resolved in the CLI client. This release adds a conflict resolution capability to IPLM Core, and lays the groundwork for the ability to preview the resolved hierarchy in IPLM Web without building the workspace.

What's New in IPLM Web

IPLM Web 2025.7

Hierarchy tab enhancements

The IP page's Hierarchy tab now offers the following improvements to the user experience:

• Users can now scroll through all hierarchy data on one continuous page, removing the need to click through the hierarchy one page at a time. This allows users to maintain focus on the IPs they are currently interested in.
• The “Levels” drop-down now clearly indicates (in blue) when one of its filters has been applied to the set of IPs. User interaction with the hierarchy tree (or list) will remove the currently applied filter.
• The “Expand tree” and “Collapse tree” action buttons have been removed, since the same functionality is available from the “Levels” drop-down and the IP tree, respectively.

Conflict-resolved view of IPV hierarchy

Conflicts occur when multiple versions of the same IP appear in the same IPV hierarchy. The IP page’s Hierarchy tab now offers a view of the IPV hierarchy that has conflicts resolved. This new “Conflict-resolved tree” view has the following benefits:

• Offers a preview of what users will see in their workspace when they build it from the standard IPV tree, i.e., the default “Standard release tree” view on the Hierarchy tab.
• Allows users to see how their conflicts will be resolved when the workspace is built, since IPLM Server uses the same algorithm to generate the workspace.

Specify IPLM Help system login in Web configuration

Administrators can now specify the organization’s user id and password for the IPLM Help system in their Web configuration file, removing the need for users to enter login credentials when viewing Help topics.
