SE56521: RDI 9.0 CASE INSENSITIVE ERROR WHEN RENAMING AN RSE FILTER

Rational Developer for i 9.0.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If you attempt to rename an RSE filter from "myfilter" to
  "MyFilter" RSE will give an error saying that you need to change
  the name to something else.  Even though the RSE filter names
  are case sensitive the renaming checks are ignoring case.
  
  The bugzilla defect for this problem can be found here:
  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=416550
  
  The backport corresponding to RSE 3.4 (i.e. RDp 9.0) is here:
  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=416551
  

Local fix

• To work around this problem use an intermediate name.  For
  example rename "myfilter" to "myfilter1"  then rename
  "myfilter1" to "MyFilter".
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: RDi and RDAL users who rename filters with   *
  *                 an existing name but in a different case.    *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: RSE does not allow users to rename      *
  *                      filters with an existing name but in    *
  *                      a different case.                       *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Filter names need to be unique but the RSE uniqueness checking
  is too strict because it won't allow a filter to be renamed to
  the same as another but in a different case.
  

Problem conclusion

• This problem is fixed in the RDi and RDAL 9.0.1 updates.
