APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ReqPro Web 7.1: A deleted document shows after deleting and
  re-creating a same name document.
  
  This issue happens on any document, any project with DB2
  database.
  This issue does NOT happen on any document, any project with MS
  Access database.
  
  Steps to reproduce :
  1- Launch ReqPro Win client to open a project (e.g. Sample
  Project - Use Case).
  2- Create a document [TEST.VIS].
  3- EDIT the document ( e.g. Change [Project Name] => [Project
  Test A] ).
  4- Save and close the document.
  5- Close ReqPro Win client.
  5- Launch ReqWeb client to open the project.
  6- View the document [TEST.VIS] and Able to see the right
  document .( e.g. [Project Test A] ).
  7- Logout and close ReqWeb client.
  8- Launch ReqPro Win client to open the project.
  9- Delete the document.
  10- Create a document with the same name [TEST.VIS] .
  11- EDIT the document ( e.g. Change [Project Name] => [Project
  Test B] ).
  12- Save and close the document.
  13- Close ReqPro Win client.
  14- Launch ReqWeb client to open the project.
  15- View the document [TEST.VIS], BUT shows the older document
  [TEST.VIS] ( e.g. [Project Test A] ).
  16- Logout and close ReqWeb client.
  
  The step 14 is strange behavior, and can be reproduced ih-house.
  
  Because the GenDoc directory keeps old cache contents, the cache
  contents needs to be cleared as workaround.
  
  The GenDoc directory is where cached documents are stored.  This
  is where they get converted to HTML format so they can be
  displayed in the web.  For ReqWeb 7.1 the default location of
  the GenDoc directory is the following.
  C:\Program
  Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\profiles\profile2\installedApps\DefaultNo
  de\ReqWeb.ear\ReqWeb.war\GenDoc
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Opening a document in ReqWeb which has the same name of a
  previously deleted document shows the information of the
  deleted document instead of the new one.
  

Problem conclusion

• Changes were made to validate not only the version of the
  document but also the date when the last update was made in
  order to determine if the information stored in the
  temporary file is current or if it needs to be regenerated
  before displaying it in ReqWeb
