  USERS AFFECTED
  Users of Rational RequisitePro client for Windows who create
  traceability relationships between requirements in different
  projects.
  
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
  Consider 2 connected projects (P1 and P2).
  Users of Rational RequisitePro who create a traceability
  relationship between a requirement in P1 to/from a
  requirement located in project P2 will find that the Author
  field in the properties of the project P2 requirement shows
  the username "Unknown". This is because the requirement
  properties is updated with the local user ID who modified
  the requirement (the user ID of P1), but the user is not
  recognized by the project P2.
  
  It is important to mention that the author is correctly
  displayed in the history revision records in both
  requirements (local and external). The problem occurs when
  the project P2 requirement property is updated with the last
  user ID who modified the requirement.
  

Problem conclusion

• Rational RequisitePro was modified to save the external user
  ID used during the connection with the external project into
  the external requirement properties as the last user who
  modify it when adding traces to/from the requirement.
  The fix for this APAR was included in RequisitePro version
  7.1.2.7 and 7.1.3.3
