Known problems

When you generate a document, performance might degrade. If the document specification contains more tables than paragraphs or lists, to improve performance, use the native filter and sort rather than the Rational Publishing Engine filter and sort, and avoid multiple passes over the same data.

Additional known problems are documented in the form of individual technotes in the Support knowledge base. As problems are discovered and resolved, the IBM Support team updates the knowledge base. By searching the knowledge base, you can quickly find workarounds or solutions to problems.

Note: Support for the TPE_PUBLISH license feature to be removed in the next Rational Publishing Engine release. The existing feature RPE_PUBLISH continues to be supported and can be used.
