Nextedy GANTT is a server extension for Siemens Polarion ALM. This page documents version compatibility between Gantt releases and Polarion versions, including known migration requirements.
Always verify compatibility with your specific Polarion and Gantt versions before upgrading in production. Contact Nextedy support for the latest compatibility information.
When upgrading Polarion, always update to the latest Gantt version to ensure full compatibility. Older Gantt versions may not function correctly with newer Polarion releases.
Starting with Polarion 2304, changes to the Polarion scripting environment require script migration for Gantt page scripts and config scripts.

The Gantt provides a workflow condition that integrates with Polarion workflow enforcement. This condition is dependency-type-aware:
Feature
Description
Status gate enforcement
Prevents work item transitions unless linked predecessors are in allowed states
Dependency-type filtering
Only Finish-to-Start dependencies are enforced in forward checks; Start-to-Start and Start-to-Finish are excluded
Cross-permission enforcement
Dependency gates are enforced even when linked items are not visible to the current user
Configure the workflow condition in Polarion’s workflow XML with these parameters: link.roles (forward link roles), back.link.roles (reverse link roles), and valid.states (allowed status IDs). See General Administration Properties.
