Rational Installer Incompatible with Windows "Change
Journal" Feature
Rational has determined that under certain circumstances file system corruption can result from installing Rational Version 2003 products on Windows 2000 to an NTFS partition that has the windows "Change Journal" (log) enabled on it. Rational is actively working with Microsoft to better understand and identify a fix for the problem.
Before installing any Rational version 2003 product on a computer running Windows 2000, please read Rational Solution 182435434 at http://www.ibm.com/support/search.wss?q=182435434&rs=727 for the latest information. Alternatively, you can search the Rational Software Support Knowledge Base at http://www.ibm.com/software/rational/support/ for the text "Change Journal", or for a more refined search, use "182435434".
You do not need to install the GA-01, GA-02, or GA-03 patches before installing this Service Release. This Service Release contains the same content as the GA-03 patch.
For instructions on installing this Service Release, see the Rational Suite Service Release Notes.
The accompanying .gz or .exe files from the Service Release are no longer required. However, if you want to retain these files if a re-installation is required, you can move the tar files to <ROSERT_HOME>/specials.
For additional information on issues with Rational Rose RealTime, see the chapter, "General Issues" in the Addendum, Rational Rose RealTime located in <ROSERT_HOME>/Help/rosert_addendum_2003.pdf.
