What's New With IBM Enterprise Records 5.2.1.5

Expanded Platform and Container Support

IBM Enterprise Records 5.2.1.5 delivers important updates for organizations that rely on robust records management to meet regulatory and governance requirements. Support for newer platforms—including ICN 3.0.9, FileNet CPE 5.5.6, IBM Cloud Pak for Automation, and modern databases—helps keep records environments aligned with current IT standards.

Container‑focused enhancements, such as support for Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) and Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud, make it easier to operate IBM Enterprise Records in cloud‑native architectures. Additional capabilities like sweeps in containers and improved logging provide more control and visibility over records processing activities.
