ProjectConsole collections from RequisitePro that include requirement revision information may take significantly longer than the same collections that do not include revisions.

Notes:

1.   As part of the fix for RATLC00990276, you must use the ProjectConsole Maintenance Tool to connect to the ProjectConsole repository. Connecting to the ProjectConsole repository will update any incomplete time dimension records in the time dimension tables.

      Note: When running the RWP and ProjectConsole services using any account other than LocalSystem, you must log on to the ProjectConsole server as a user that belongs to the Administrators group when creating or connecting to a ProjectConsole repository. Creating or connecting to a ProjectConsole repository while logged in as a user that is not part of the Administrators group may result in problems such as "connection denied" errors.

2.   RATLC00999104: ProjectConsole source templates and scheduled tasks created using the Designer now include an additional parameter named RequirementWeight. Any objects created after installing iFix01 will have the value automatically. If the source templates and scheduled tasks were created prior to installing the iFix, you need to add the parameter manually.

     When configuring the RequirementWeight argument, specify a value of "Revisions". This will cause revision information to be included when ProjectConsole loads the requirements. If "Revisions" is not specified, then the revisions must be loaded from the database for every requirement. This takes considerably longer than loading all revision data when the requirements are loaded.

     The RequirementWeight argument accepts a comma delimited list of values. The valid values are [Revisions, Relationships]. One or both of these values can be specified. The Relationships value should be used when the source template accesses relationships during the collection.
