Jama Connect® v9.22.1 - Self-Hosted
New Tag Management Option for Locked Items
Organization and project admins can now enable the Allow tag management for locked items option for a project, which allows users to add and remove tags from user-locked items and system-locked items per project. This functionality is available across multiple views: Single Item View, List View, Bulk Edits, and via the Public API.
Introducing Traceability Information Model Labeling
Updates have been made to indicate the Traceability Information Model as defined by the relationship rules associated with this project.
The relationship diagram has been renamed "Traceability Information Model" to better reflect its multifaceted nature, which includes item type definitions, relationship rules, and the expected traceability for the project. These changes are reflected in the dashboard and admin views of the diagram. Additional labeling and organization updates to administration will be included in future releases.
Note: These changes do not impact the functionality and configurability of the Traceability Information Model itself.
Accessibility Updates
To improve accessibility and align with WCAG 1.1.1 and 4.1.2, we’ve added text labels to item type icons across Jama Connect. This update allows users of assistive technologies to easily identify item types — such as in reviews, the Project Explorer Tree, and Document View — without needing to open each item. By making iconography programmatically discernible, we’re continuing our commitment to a more inclusive and efficient user experience.
Reading View EOL
As part of our commitment to continuously enhance the user experience and provide more powerful tools, we have decided to retire Reading View in this release. With this in mind, Document View, is your go-to view as a replacement for Reading View. Document View not only encompasses all the capabilities of Reading View, but also delivers significant enhancements that support your workflow efficiency and collaboration needs.
To ensure a smooth transition, we encourage you to explore Document View as soon as possible if you haven't already done so. Resources are available in our Help Documentation, and our support team is ready to assist with any questions or challenges during this transition.
Simplified Baseline Comparison Export Options
In this release, the "Export detailed report" option available from the baseline compare dialog has been removed. After reviewing usage and customer feedback, we found that the preference is to access baseline comparison reports from the Reports option in the header.
REST API Updates
- DELETE /items/{id}/categories — New endpoint is now available to unapply one or more categories from an item.
Administration Notes
Update the Jama Connect KOTS platform
Before deploying Jama Connect 9.22.1, you must first update the Jama Connect KOTS platform. For more information about running the Jama Connect KOTS platform upgrade, see Installing and Upgrading Jama Connect.
When deploying Jama Connect 9.22.1 to an existing stack, you might see the following error:
UPGRADE FAILED: cannot patch \"connect-main\" with kind Ingress: Internal error occurred: failed calling webhook \"validate.nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io\": failed to call webhook: Post \"https://ingress-nginx-controller-admission.default.svc:443/networking/v1/ingresses?timeout=10s\\": dial tcp <IP>:443: connect: connection refused\n"}
This error is due to upgrading our ingress and ingress controller simultaneously. In this case, wait until the new ingress-nginx-controller pod is in a running state and re-deploy the release.
Exchange Online
Exchange Online will permanently remove support for Basic Authentication with Client Submission (SMTP AUTH) in September 2025. To account for the new configuration and reduce confusion, SMTP settings have been moved to a new tab in the root menu, under System Properties > Outgoing Email (SMTP). For details, see this MS Tech Community article.
General Maintenance and Library Updates
