Pure Variants Releases

Date: 2025-12-18 | Pure Variants 7.2.0 is a feature release

Key Highlights

• Seamless Experience (ALM) - Codebeamer
  • Support of Codebeamer Stream Baselines – generate variant-specific streams from stream baselines
  • Tooltips in Pure Variants Widget – access descriptions of Pure Variants model elements by hovering over them in the Pure Variants Widget in Codebeamer, DOORS Next or Polarion
  • Keep element focus when navigating from ALM tools to Pure Variants – directly navigate to a model element in the Pure Variants Web Client that has been selected in the Pure Variants Widget in Codebeamer, DOORS Next or Polarion
• Customer Priorities
  • Offline exchange of baselines between (air gapped) Pure Variants Model Servers – propagate changes in a Pure Variants Project between (air gapped) Model Servers without losing project history
  • Transformation parameters for JavaScript Transformations – create custom transformations that can be used across projects
  • “Move Model” refactoring operation for multiple models – move models faster with bulk refactoring operations
  • Tree Layouts of the Matrix Editor in Pure Variants Projects – Use Layouts for the Matrix Editor across teams to more efficiently analyze variants
• Scalability
  • Resource Monitoring for Pure Variants Services - Administrators can access a dedicated web UI to monitor resource consumption across all Pure Variants services (Model Server, Web Client, Gateway), export and search through all service-related logs
  • Improved memory management on Model server side to ensure consistent performance and stability under heavy workloads
• Openness
  • Parametric Variability in Enterprise Architect – Define an attribute value once per variant with Pure Variants and propagate it across attributes of architecture models in Enterprise Architect
  • Fine-grained control over Polarion Transformation output location and names – names and relative location of variant-specific live docs can deviate from the superset live docs from which they have been generated, folder structure of 150% project can be preserved during transformation
• Pure Variants Compatibility
  • Verification of tool version support: Artop 4.18, Codebeamer 3.2, Eclipse 2025-09, IBM DOORS 9.7.2.10, IBM ELM 7.1.0 – iFix003, iFix004, Jama Connect 9.22.1, Matlab/Simulink 2021a-2023b, PTC RV&S 13.4.0.0, PTC RV&S 13.3.0.0, Siemens Polarion 2506

  • Setting to disable full mode for all family models - support more strict security policies when running Pure Variants in confidential environments
  • Custom visualization order of input models in VDMs - exact control of order in which feature models show up during variant configuration 
• Scalability
  • Improved performance of opening models and evaluations in Matrix Editor of Desktop Client 
  • Faster access to frequently used Model Information due to improved caching on Model Server side 
  • Faster model loading in Desktop Client due to resolving of references in pvscl expressions in the background 
• Openness
  • Syntax and Semantic Check Report for Jama - efficient validation of Pure Variants Restrictions and Calculations across Jama Projects
  • Faster Rhapsody Model Manager Transformations - up to 84% faster overall transformations due to more performant checkin and delivery to RMM
  • Export license usage information - export license usage information for license usage analyzing and reporting in 3rd party tools
  • Improved visualization of folder structures of Pure Variants Projects and Configuration Spaces - users can more easily navigate to the models they are looking for
• Pure Variants Compatibility
