Released on: November 10, 2023

In version 2024x, we have put a lot of effort into delivering the new driver, Jama Connect® (Technology Preview). You can now use the new Jama Connect driver to add data sources in the Cameo DataHub Explorer panel. The Jama Connect driver is only available as a technology preview and should not be used for production. Learn more about the supported features, expected features, and limitations below.

Jama Connect®(Technology Preview)

For adding data sources, a new Jama Connect driver has been added to the list of existing drivers. You can authenticate with the aid of your User Name and password. As of now, data copying and synchronization can be done only from Jama Connect to the Modelling tool. Data copying and synchronization from the Modeling tool to Jama Connect will be available beginning with the next DataHub release.

Supported features

1. You can authenticate with the aid of your User Name and password. Connection to both the Cloud and On-premise versions of Jama Connect is possible.
2. When connected, you can see the list of all projects available in the Jama Connect web app.

7. When the synchronized part of the Jama Connect project is updated on the Jama Connect or Cameo model side, the “Check for change” command is available to visually represent the difference. “New”, “Moved”, “Delete” and other statuses are represented with different background colors for visual clarity. It is also possible to see which exact property is updated, as well as the new value.
8. Once the change is confirmed for either all or selected items, the Cameo model is updated.
