Rational Suite Extensibility (RSE) is the underlying data access layer
for both Rational SoDA and Rational ProjectConsole Template Builder. This RSE
patch applies equally to both; you can apply this patch in conjunction with, or
independent of, any SoDA or ProjectConsole patch.
This patch addresses the following defects:

Rose |
00365577 |
A calculated OPEN for External Documents fails when the parent
REPEAT is a diagram. |
|
|
00365043 |
A Rose Event Specification with a Type of Send Event cannot be retrieved for reporting.

00366789 |
Unable to retrieve objects and associated link information from interaction diagrams. This patch adds a new relationship—AllItems—to the Diagram class in the Rose domain. AllItems contains all of the Items associated with the diagram, for example Packages, Classes, Relationships, Associations, and Links. In addition, the Links associated with a diagram have been added to the MappedArtifacts relationship, which is known as Items in SoDA. The corresponding positional information for Links has been added to the MappedPoints attribute, which is known as ItemsPositionInfo in SoDA. The Items (MappedArtifacts) relationship contains only those diagram Items for which positional information is generated. The AllItems relationship includes all of the Items associated with the diagram. |

Report Generation fails on Rose ExternalDoc across Network administrative share “<drive>$”. This patch fixes parsing of Rose virtual paths so that administrative shares (such as c$) in network paths are interpreted correctly. |

Unable to evaluate REPEAT
command. Unknown RDSI Error
in Get NaryRelationships. The condition that caused the error above does not occur with
this patch. |
|

00020284 |
The generation process runs out of memory when retrieving traces from Document Requirements. Except for unusually large
documents with many hyperlinks, this patch corrects this memory issue. |

A collection for a specific record type indicates that it finished
successfully but the number of rows inserted is zero. This problem occurred when there were multiple records with
state fields in the schema. With this patch, when a collection is formed,
state properties in related records are not pre-fetched. This means that
access to such properties may be slower. |

|
Word |
00365815 00366005 |
Cannot display formatted text in the Word domain. This problem occurred when the ProjectConsole server started a Word
session and a user on the same computer also started Word. Word reuses an
existing session, so that the “server Word session” and the “user Word
session” were the same, single session. If the user Word session were closed,
the ProjectConsole session was also closed, resulting in an error such as the
one reported by this defect. This patch address this situation by restarting Word
automatically when it is inadvertently shut down. |
The patch includes an automatic patch-installer batch file called
apply_rse.bat. The batch
file:
§
Renames
the earlier versions of the DLLs to create backup copies
§
Copies
the new DLLs into the proper directory
§
Registers
the updated DLLs
NOTE: It is not necessary for you to
make backup copies of your original DLLs because the batch does this for you.
If you do make your own copies, you must keep the original files, with their
original names, in the original location, so the patch installer can find them.
To install the patch, you
extract the contents of a zip file and then run the batch file.
When you run the batch
file, you will be prompted for two parameters:
§
Your
Rational install path
§
Extension
to use to rename original files.
1.
Extract
the contents of the zip file into a temporary directory (for example
c:\rse_patch).
2.
Run
the batch file apply_rse.bat
from a local or mapped network drive (do not use a UNC filepath).
You can do this from either the Windows Explorer or from the MS-DOS
Command prompt in the batch file location. You must use a local or mapped
network drive.
