Release notes

Feature Tracker in SMA-SM provides enhanced capabilities to allow the management of an end-to-end development lifecycle. The module utilizes an integration into version control systems to keep track of all your application changes. It enables you to manage and maintain objects changed for tailoring purpose inside SMA-SM upon integration with a Git code repository.In addition the solution helps to simplify the CI/CD process for Service Manager releases. It offers capabilities to commit all code changes, but also deploy all code changes into different environments from within SMA-SM application itself. The solution also provides entitlement capabilities to ensure that a "Review Based Development" approach can be followed, which means that only users with special permissions are able to commit code or deploy code.  

In order to enable this feature, you need go to  https://marketplace.microfocus.com/itom/content/sm-devops-support  to download the unload and apply it to your SMA-SM (either full mode in container or mixed-mode outside container).   

Please make sure to download the latest v1.10 package and refer to the documents packaged in it for more details on how to install and configure.
