Risk management baseline artifacts not syncing after upgrading to ELM 7.0.3

We upgraded our ELM environment from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3 last week and now risk management baseline artifacts are failing to sync properly. The baseline revision process is completely blocked.

The issue appears related to schema changes in 7.0.3 affecting how baseline artifacts are stored. We’re seeing configuration mismatches in our DOORS Next integration:

<baseline-config>
  <artifact-type>risk-assessment</artifact-type>
  <sync-status>FAILED</sync-status>
  <error>Schema validation error: unexpected element 'riskBaseline'</error>
</baseline-config>

We’ve tried clearing the service cache and running re-indexing procedures, but baselines still won’t sync. Has anyone encountered this after upgrading to 7.0.3? I’ve heard patch 7.0.3.1 addresses baseline synchronization, but wanted to confirm before applying it.

I ran into similar issues during our 7.0.3 upgrade. The schema changes for baseline artifacts are significant in this release. Did you verify the DOORS Next integration configuration was updated to match the new schema? The baseline-config element structure changed and requires manual adjustment in most cases.

Carlos, I also strongly recommend applying patch 7.0.3.1 before making other changes. That patch specifically addresses baseline synchronization issues that sound identical to what you’re experiencing.

That’s helpful context. Our DOORS Next connector is still at the 7.0.2 level, which might explain the compatibility issue. I’ll upgrade the connector first. What about the service cache clearing - is there a specific sequence for that with baseline artifacts?
