1.0 About this release

This interim fix contains fixes to IBM® Rational® Software Architect, Version 6.0.1.1.

2.0 Product fix history

2.1 EGL (Enterprise Generation Language)

2.2 J2EE tools

2.3 JSF tools

2.4 Portal tools

2.5 Validators

(PK14311) If an XML file with errors is imported into a Java project, errors are not displayed in the Problems view.

2.6 Web services

(PK13065) Adding  a Web service reference for a J2EE application client caused an error stating that the WSDL file has no definition element.

2.7 UML diagrams

 (PK15550) When creating a table under an EJB project, the table and schema files are created under a different directory. 

2.8 Data tools

(PK15881) For certain EJB inheritance structures, duplicate columns are repeated unnecessarily for a generated SQL statement. This may lead to a SQL statement length exceeding limitations.

2.9 Struts

(PK18277) A null pointer exception is thrown when a Web diagram editor attempted to read a Faces config file where the <toview> tags are defined but contain no actual body content.

2.10 Web tools

2.11 Performance analysis

 (PK17202) An IWAT0113E error is displayed when launching an application after selecting an agent to profile.

2.12 UML modeling tools

2.13 Rational XDE model import (XMI)

(PK19205) Opening an activity diagram caused an error message "Unable to create part".

2.14 Rational Rose model import (RMI)

(PK17341) Rose activity diagrams were imported under a collaboration instead of a use case interaction.

2.15 Server tools

3.0 Installation information

3.1 Installation instructions

For information about installing Interim Fix 001 for IBM® Rational® Software Architect Version 6.0.1.1, installation prerequisites, installing from a command line, and setting up a local mirror of the update server, see the installation instructions at www3.software.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/rsa/60/install_instruction/6011_interim_fix001/install.html.

3.2 Hardware requirements

For hardware requirements for this interim fix, refer to the installation instructions.

3.3 Software requirements

This interim fix can be installed on top of IBM Rational Software Architect 6.0.1.1.

4.0 Known problems and limitations

4.1 I4GL conversion tool schema manifest file change

The schema manifest file that is generated by the I4GL conversion tool is updated for this release.  I4GL customers who are in the process of migrating their I4GL applications to EGL are advised  to re-extract their database schema information to benefit from the file changes.

Changes in the generated manifest files are as follows:

  1. 4GL data type "CHAR" is now mapped to EGL "UNICODE". Previously this was mapped to fixed length STRING, as UNICODE and STRING are not reference compatible. The schema needs to be extracted again to get the changes.
  2. The schema manifest is updated with two new attributes - "isolationLevel" and "commitControl". These attributes are used by an EGL application or library project to correctly generate database connect() calls.

4.2 Lose of model property values

After you create two UML projects, import a profile to both projects, and set the model property values, you save the projects and close the application. You will lose these values in one of the projects on re-start of the application (PK16402).

To avoid this issue, import a profile only once and apply the profile to both projects. The recommended practice is to use Path maps to prevent duplicate profiles in the same workspace. Please see the profile document available on IBM developerWorks at www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/library/05/0906_dusko/.

4.3 Rational Rose model import (RMI)

When Rose models are imported into RSA modeling projects, classes stereotyped as <<BusinessWorker>> are transformed into <<Actors>>. There is no workaround except that you can remove the <<BusinessWorker>> stereotype before importing. (PK16643)

4.4 Model publishing and report publishing

You cannot run the model publishing and report publishing ant tasks in a headless mode. You must run them from a project in the workbench J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE). See the Model Publishing Ant Task tutorial for steps on how to run model publishing and report publishing from the workbench.
