PK21466: FINDBUG FINDS ONLY THE FIRST VALUE OF A MULTIPLE CHOICE LIST FIE LD CREATED WITH A SOMEOF DERIVATION

APAR status

• Closed as unreproducible.

Error description

• When running the findbug command on a field that has a
  derivation with a someof, findbug reads only the first value.
  For instance, BUGno00001 has the field myField with three values
  selected (myValue1, myValue2 and myValue3), when running the
  command findbug -f "myField has myValue2", BUGno00001 will not
  be returned.
  Step to reproduce:
  1)Edit the master.tmpl of the default software class
  2)Look for the When-found field and change its derivation from
  oneof to someof (Change the line from "oneof -f phases" to
  "someof -f phases")
  3)Save the master.tmpl file
  4)Start the web interface of ClearDDTS and submit a new bug in
  the software class
  5)For the Detected in phase field, multi-select the values
  investigation, specification and design
  6)Go to the command line and run the command:
  findbug -f "When-found has investigation"
  The bug created in 4) will be returned
  7)Run the command
  findbug -f "When-found has specification" or findbug -f
  "When-found has design"
  The bug created in 4) will not be returned

Comments

• This is a customization issue. Here are the steps to
  provide to the customer to resolve this issue.
  1.  Modify the schema_file located in the
  ~ddtshome/dbms/ddts directory to the desired max string
  length for the multiple choice list field. In this case, the
  when_found field length is set to 15 by default. The user
  should increase it to length that covers a concatenated
  string of all the list values.
  2. Rebuild the database: ./adminbug dbms
