PM39796: VP FAILURES AND EXCEPTIONS NOT TRIGGERING ARM FAILURES IN ITCAM

IBM Rational Functional Tester Version 8.2.0.2 iFix01

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ITCAM team integrates with RFT and the solution will be getting
  delivered in ITCAM for Transaction v7.2 scheduled for release 4Q
  2009. ITCAM team is running into issues where the playback
  failures from RFT like exceptions and VP failures are not
  resulting in correspong ARM failures for the encapsulating
  transaction.
  
  This means that when a failure occurs in RFT playback, the ITCAM
  side woun't get any failures as it's dependent on ARM and the
  SLA that the customer configured would be still green eventhough
  there were failures in the systems that were getting monitored
