....................................................................... PATCH DESCRIPTION FOR PATCH 7.0.0.2-RATL-RRP-Fixpack2 Product: IBM Rational RequisitePro Release: 7.0.0.2 - Fix Pack 2 Platform: Windows Prerequisite: 7.0.0.1 ........................................................................... About this Fix Pack This Fix Pack 7.0.0.2 for IBM Rational RequsitePro includes all Interim Fixes (iFixes) and new, previously unreleased fixes subsequent to v. 7.0.0.1. This particular Fix Pack download contains only content for upgrading RequisitePro. Maintenance content for other Rational products is available in other Fix Pack downloads or media. This Fix Pack does not include the entire product, but rather a subset of fixed components and files. Fix Packs and other maintenance releases are available for IBM Rational Support on the Web at http://www.ibm.com/software/rational/support/upgrades/. ........................................................................... Installing this Fix Pack You can install RequisitePro v. 7.0.0.2 from a software package download from IBM Rational Support on the Web (http://www.ibm.com/software/rational/support/upgrades/). You can perform a single client or server installation using the Windows Installer service, or create a release area for performing multiple installations. For details on installing Rational software, see the IBM Rational RequisitePro Installation and Upgrade Guide v. 7.0.0.0, which is available at the IBM Publications Center (http://www.elink.ibmlink.ibm.com/publications/servlet/pbi.wss). Because this Fix Pack includes all previous maintenance releases for RequisitePro v. 7.0.0.1, you can install on top of v. 7.0.0.1, with or without subsequent iFix content. To roll back to previous version of the product after installing a Fix Pack, you must uninstall the full product. You can then install a previous version that includes the full product. ........................................................................... "IMPORTANT UPGRADE INFORMATION: Review the following requirement prior to upgrading any version 7.0.0 Rational Team Products to version 7.0.0.2. (See also Technote 1251131) When more than one of the following products is installed on a system, after one is upgraded to version 7.0.0.2, all the others must be upgraded to version 7.0.0.2 before using any of them. - IBM Rational ClearCase - IBM Rational ClearQuest - IBM Rational ProjectConsole - IBM Rational RequisitePro - IBM Rational Robot - IBM Rational SoDA - IBM Rational TestManager ........................................................................... Installation limitation: When installing RequisitePro, do not use non-ASCII or double-byte characters for the installation path. (RATLC01005677) ........................................................................... 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. For more information, please see technote #1239528, available at http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?&uid=swg21239528. ........................................................................... Database configuration: The scripts for configuring IBM DB2 database version 8.2 and later for RequisitePro projects have been added to the product. See the scripts and readme.txt instructions in the folders \Rational\RequisitePro\database\db2\windows\8.2 and \Rational\RequisitePro\database\db2\unix\8.2. (RATLC00989312) ........................................................................... Known problems in this release RATLC01005460 - After upgrading a RequisiteWeb server from version 7.0.0.1 to 7.0.0.2, if RequisitePro 7.0.0.1 was installed in a location other than the default location C:\Program Files\Rational\RequisitePro, you must edit the config.txt to ensure that all projects are available at the RequisiteWeb Logon page. See the section "Editing the configuration file for an alternate installation directory" in "Configuring RequisiteWeb" in the IBM Rational RequisitePro Installation and Upgrade Guide, which is available from Let's Go RequisitePro on the RequisitePro Help menu and also from the IBM Publications Center at http://www.elink.ibmlink.ibm.com/publications/servlet/pbi.wss. ..........................................................................
