........................................................................ PATCH DESCRIPTION FOR PATCH 7.0.0.0-RATL-RRP-IFIX07 (Priority: Mandatory) Platform: Windows Prerequisite: 7.0.0.0 ........................................................................... Information for installing from a release area: RATLC00991284: In most cases, a release area created from a version 7.0.0.0 installation package supports all available languages for a product; however, when a release area is created from CD media or ISO files and the product spans more than one CD/ISO, then the release area only supports the language in which the release area was created. For example, if a release area is created on a Japanese operating system in Japanese, then the release area only supports the Japanese language. The following two workarounds are available to create a multi-language release area with CD media or ISO files: 1. Create the release area using an image that was downloaded as a Web download. The problem that occurs when spanning CD/ISO files is not encountered when a Web download is used to create a release area. 2. Create the release area using CDs or ISO files. Place the IBM Rational Product CD Disc 1 in the CD drive ~or~ mount the IBM Rational Product CD Disc 1 ISO image. Run the MUI_RA_Console.exe tool, which updates the release area with information to support all available languages for a product. For example: MUI_RA_Console where is the letter of the CD drive that contains IBM Rational Product CD 1 or the drive mapped to IBM Rational Product CD 1 ISO image, and is the root directory location of the pre-existing release area created using a version 7.0.0.0 GA product installation CD.

Uninstalling an iFix: In order to remove an iFix from a version 7 installation of RequisitePro, you must be uninstall RequisitePro 7.0.0. ........................................................................... RequisiteWeb user interface enhancements for performance, usability, and consistency (introduced in iFix005 and included in this patch release): This service release includes changes to the RequisiteWeb graphical user interface. These changes enhance performance and usability, and provide consistency between RequisiteWeb and the RequisitePro client for Windows and other Rational Web applications. - The "Select action" menu options, which previously were displayed on most pages in a drop-down menu in the main toolbar, are now represented as icons in the content frame toolbar. The labels for the icons are consistent with the previous menu options. - The "Return to view" icon is now represented as a button. This icon is displayed in the main toolbar after you open a view in your RequisiteWeb session. - The Discussions icon, which previously was only available on the Project Properties page, is now represented as a button that is displayed in the main toolbar. This button is now available throughout your RequisiteWeb session. - The Requisite Web Explorer controls, which are displayed above the Explorer, are now represented as buttons. These buttons include: Search the Explorer, Synchronize the Explorer, and Refresh the Explorer. - The Package Properties page has been redesigned to enable you to edit the properties directly on the page rather than on a separate editing page. After you submit your edits, a new message is displayed: "Your changes have been saved." - The User Profile page has been redesigned to enable you to edit your profile and preferences directly on the page rather than on a separate editing page. After you submit your edits, a new message is displayed: "Your changes have been saved." - The Requirement Properties Revisions page has been reorganized to be consistent with the RequisitePro client for Windows. Disabled fields are now shaded. Only the last revision is displayed. Click the new History button to display a full history for the selected requirement. - The text at the left of the main toolbar now displays the current project name rather than the selected page or artifact. - The browser window title now displays the "Rational RequisiteWeb" client name, followed by the browser name. Note: After installing RequisiteWeb, if you can access the Log In page but receive the following error when attempting to log in, restart the ReqWeb service (IBM WebSphere Application Server V6 - RWP ReqWeb servlet) or restart the server. JSP Processing Error HTTP Error Code: 404 Error Message:JSPG0036E: Failed to find resource /MainFrame.jsp ........................................................................... Known problems in this patch release: RATLC00997473 - A new message is displayed in RequisiteWeb after modifying the User Profile or Package Properties: "Your changes have been saved." Also, on the Revisions page for Requirement Properties, there is a new History button and Time field on this redesigned page. This message and these labels are in English only; they will be translated to Japanese in an upcoming release. ........................................................................... Fixed defects in this iFix007 patch release: PK35871 (RATLC01006118) In previous versions, when you attempted to open a project that contained requirements that were not assigned to a package, an error was displayed: "Project contains corrupt package elements," and the project would not open. This fix assigns the requirements to a package and enables the opening of the project. You can modify the requirement locations when the project is open. PK35819 (RATLC01006016) - After assigning a parent requirement to a new package, the location information of some child requirements was not updated after refreshing a view or re-opening the project. Child requirements of child requirements are now updated with package changes in parent requirements. ...........................................................................
