In the spotlight
We’ve launched a new security bulletins page for Cúram. This page makes it easier to assess vulnerabilities affecting your installed version and plan your upgrade strategy. There are two columns, affected version and fixed version, that provide at-a-glance visibility into vulnerability impact and remediation.
Abstract – Code Removals Dependency Check
As part of Cúram’s ongoing built-in quality and platform health program, we plan to remove a set of long deprecated and unused Artefacts in the Cúram Q4 2026 release. To ensure customer upgrades remain smooth and risk-free, we ask all customers to run the Artefact Dependencies Search Tool (ADST) V1.0.4 using the Cúram Q4 2026 input file and return the resulting report to Product Development for analysis. This quick, self-service scan identifies any custom dependencies on items planned for removal. This process has been used successfully across previous Cúram V8 release cycles.

Education
Listing of Cúram courses with the abstract for each lesson and exercise
New Courses for Cúram v8.x:
- CUR090 – Merative Cúram for Developers (ADE) 8.X: This self-paced course provides learners with a technical understanding of the Cúram Application Development Environment (ADE). This course provides a solid grounding in the Cúram model-driven development approach and ADE. It presents an architectural overview of the Cúram application and introduces ADE features and tools for modeling, coding, building, and troubleshooting applications. During the course, learners will design and implement a simple end-to-end application using many ADE client and server features.
- CUR091 – Merative Cúram for Developers (Customization) 8.X: This course introduces learners to the techniques that are used to customize Cúram out-of-the-box (OOTB) solutions for Cúram implementation projects. The course describes the approach for customizing OOTB applications compliantly and how to customize client and server artifacts, including source code and non-source code artifacts. The course then outlines how REST and web services are used to integrate with external applications and how custom features can be implemented using events, deferred processes, and batch processes. Finally, the course outlines the approaches for localizing, supporting, and upgrading Cúram. During the course, learners will also perform impact analysis on OOTB applications and implement compliant customizations.
