3.0 Installation information

3.1 Installation instructions

For information about installing Interim Fix 002 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_fix002/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 Rational Software Architect Fix Pack 6.0.1.1 updated with Interim Fix 001.

4.0 Known problems and limitations

4.1 Installation of Rational XDE Model Import Interim Feature 6.0.1.5

When you install the Rational XDE Model Import (XMI) Interim Feature 6.0.1.5, Rational Product Updater (RPU) will automatically select Rational Software Architect, Rational Software Modeler, or Rational Systems Developer Version 6.0.1.1 Interim Fix 002. If you roll back Interim Fix 002, RPU will automatically select the XMI Interim Feature for roll back. If you have a previous version of the Interim Feature installed and you roll back the Interim Feature, you must also roll back Interim Fix 002. If you do not have an earlier version of the Interim Feature installed, you can leave Interim Fix 002 on your system after you roll back the Interim Feature.

4.2 WBI integration

When you have an installation of IBM Rational Software Architect, Rational Software Modeler, or Rational Systems Developer that skips over version 6.0.0.1, a version of the Business profile is missing. When a model is loaded in the skip installation that uses the Business profile from Rational Software Architect, Rational Software Modeler, or Rational Systems Developer 6.0.0.1, the following message is received: Package with url "http:///_ugVzYGmlEdmm3PVmRkZgQA.profile.uml2" not found.

Upon loading a model from a pre-6.0.1.1 iFix002 Rational Software Architect, Rational Software Modeler, or Rational Systems Developer installation that has the Business profile installed, the tool will automatically fix the problem described above without modifying the model. Once this model is saved in Rational Software Architect, Rational Software Modeler, or Rational Systems Developer 6.0.1.1 iFix002, the offending entry in the model file will be changed to use the appropriate pathmap.

Workaround:

To maintain backwards compatibility from Rational Software Architect, Rational Software Modeler, or Rational Systems Developer 6.0.1.1 iFix 002 to previous versions of Rational Software Architect,  Rational Software Modeler, or Rational Systems Developer for a model that has the Business Modeling profile applied, you need to take the following steps in the pre-6.0.1.1 iFix 002 Rational Software Architect, Rational Software Modeler, or Rational Systems Developer installation. These steps define a pathmap to the Business Modeling profile on-disk, which is referenced by the Rational Software Architect, Rational Software Modeler, or Rational Systems Developer model.

  1. Click  WindowPreferences.
  2. In the Preferences window, expand Modeling and click Path Maps.
  3. On the Path Maps page, click New.
  4. In the New Variable window, in the Name field, type IBM_PROFILES; then click Folder.
  5. In the Folder Selection window, select the <RSA_INSTALL_DIR>\rsa\eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.xtools.bizmodeler_XXX\profiles (where XXX is a version number) folder; then click OK.
  6. Click OK.

You are now able to open a model modified in Rational Software Architect, Rational Software Modeler, or Rational Systems Developer 6.0.1.1 iFix 002 with the Business Modeling Profile applied in your pre-6.0.1.1 iFix002 installation. (PK23110)

4.3 Problems with cascade deletes in EJB relationships that involve inheritance (on Linux)

If you are adding or editing an EJB that is part of an EJB inheritance and you select Cascade delete on the Relationship Roles page, then there is a problem with CMP fields disappearing. This only affects CMP fields associated with relationships between two beans, at least one of which is part of EJB inheritance.

This problem has been fixed in the current interim fix. However, if you are a non-root Linux user, may may continue to experience this problem after a root user has installed the interim fix.

To correct the problem, delete the .eclipse file from your home directory (for example, /home/user name/.eclipse).

Important:  Deleting the .eclipse file can cause you to lose workspace preferences and the location of any plug-ins that you manually installed.

4.4 Error message displayed when running a project on Portal Server Attach servers.

If you run a project on a Portal Server Attach server, an error dialog is displayed after the operation with the message:
Server Error
Error received while starting the server
Reason:
The server named WebSphere Portal v5.1 Server Attach @ localhost did not start correctly. Check the Console for error messages.

 This error message is being thrown incorrectly. It can be safely ignored and will not affect the functionality of run on server to a remote portal server.

5.0 Customer support
