  ****************************************************************
  One of our customer's has developed an automation framework
  where the path of datapools, object maps and other
  automation components in a Java file (in RFT).
  When they run the RFT scripts they just need to specify the
  relative paths in the RFT scripts..
  

Problem conclusion

• After understanding the customer Scenario we understood that
  the customer is expecting RQM to honor and be aware of
  created RFT Package structure so that they can work with the
  relative path. However For RQM every script has its identity
  by the location address and has no information on RFT
  package structure.
  

Temporary fix
