Rational Business Developer Fix Pack 2 (8.5.1.2) for 8.5.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• 1.Version (with iFixes and TestFixes).
  Environment: windows 7
  Product name: IBM? Rational? Business Developer
  
  Program Version    :  8.5.1
  2.Problem Description. Things that you have tried to resolve.
  Deploying and running HTML associated with RUI application does
  not implement a reusable function correctly.
  
  Its observed that when accessing specific menu options at
  runtime the application produces incorrect display of associated
  tabs where for instance there are no labels attached. The same
  application works well, displays correct tab options when
  implemented via the debugger or RUI preview mode.
  
  Development have identified the fundamental cause of this defect
  concerns a function 'openPage' in ContentManager that is not
  working as designed where a 'string out' parameter is not
  updated accordingly after a function call causing incorrect,
  incomplete JavaScript to be generated for the deployment
  operation.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• In RBD 8.5, 8.0.1.5 and 9.0, RUI program does not update the out
   parameter value correctly when the function with out parameter
  and the parameter value is changed in the return statement.
  

Problem conclusion

• The problem is fixed.
  

Temporary fix
