This version of the connector is certified with Dimensions RM release 12.11
Unless otherwise specified, for any given MF Connect connector from OpenText, all versions of the connector product that are officially released and supported by it's vendor both four months before the time of the release of the connector as well as at the time of using the connector, are supported by OpenText. Not all product versions will be tested and validated by OpenText for each connector release. Instead, OpenText chooses a subset of versions that we deem representative or most important to run validation and certification tests against. These selected versions are mentioned in the respective connector read-me, clearly identifying them as "validated" or "certified". As stated above, this does not mean that Micro Focus Connect does not support other product versions – it only means that no validation test cycle was executed for the other versions.
This version of the Dimensions RM Connector works with any kind of requirement class types as well as all attribute types like text, alphanumeric, numeric, lists etc.

This connector is an update to the installed connector, you should remove (or move to a directory outside of the connectors) and replace the contents of folder AppData\connectors\mfcConnectorRM with the contents of the provided archive (mfcConnectorRM-24.1.1.zip).
The following information contains notes regarding installation, but does not replace the entire process.

Operations performed by the Dimensions RM Connector are audited (in Dimensions RM) as being performed by the user specified in the connection information. To ensure that the synchronization does not fail due to a lack of privileges, verify that this user has sufficient request privileges, for example, to perform operations in other users' inboxes.
When selecting a fallback user a message will state there are no users.
The list of projects seen when setting up a connection that uses this connector is based on the list of Categories, Collections or Containers found in Dimensions RM (depending on selected 'ProjectMode')
Rich Text Fields in the RM UI can be displayed as plain text or as rich text (with rich text formatting options). Micro Focus Connect will add HTML tags to rich text fields. Users can update the RM UI so that the HTML tags are not visible by configuring HTML formatting. See documentation for RM Manage to configure HTML formatting.
The following entities typically have one or more required fields, that must have a value. If Dimensions RM is configured such that others are required they would also need to have values.
