APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• APAR Error Description:
  Abstract: The RAM 7.5.1 Information Center link incorrectly
  documents the supported Ant version
  Problem: According to this RAM 7.5.1 Information Center link,
  integrations can work with 1.7.0 or later (see yellow Note
  block):
  
  http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ramhelp/v7r5m1/index.js
  p?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.ram.doc%2Ftopics%2Ft_ant_build_example.html
  
  'Note: When you configure the Ant build scripts for a build
  integration, you must use Ant 1.7.0 or later on the build
  machine to prevent a classpath error when running the scripts.
  Set the JAVA_HOME variable to the Java folder, and set the
  ANT_HOME variable to the Ant installation directory (which must
  be 1.7.0 or later). You do not need to set PATH or CLASSPATH.'
  
  However, RAM 7.5.x cannot work with Ant 1.8 per this Technote:
  
  http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21456398
  
  The Information Center link needs to be updated to state that
  only Ant 1.7.x is supported.
  
  Local fix:
  The Technote addresses this limitation.

  OK, I'm updating the topic to read: "When you configure the
  Ant build scripts for a build integration, you must use Ant
  1.7.0 or 1.7.1 on the build machine to prevent a classpath
  error when running the scripts. Do not use Ant 1.8.0 or
  later."

  I have checked in and delivered this change. It should be
  available on the internal information center next week, and
  it will be deployed with the 7.5.1.1 help. Resolving.
  

Problem conclusion

• Corrected and fixed in RAM v7.5.1.1.
