  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • If a product checks out a Suite -- as opposed to the point
    product -- license, the name of the actual license checked-out
    is not updated in the license structure.
    
    When heartbeats are called after a successful check-out, in the
    above scenario, causes heartbeats to be checked against the
    original license name and not the actual checked-out license.
    This results in failure returned by the heartbeat function.

    USERS AFFECTED:
     Users of Rational RequisitePro client for Windows who use
    Rational LifeCycle Package (RLP) or Rational LifeCycle
    Package with Clear Case (RLPwCC) licenses to use the
    product.
    ?
     PROBLEM DESCRIPTION :
    When a new Windows user opens the RequisitePro client for
    Windows for the first time, clicking on the Menu shows the
    following error: ?The License server cannot be reached or is
    not responding properly?. This message occurs because of an
    error in the code that communicates with the license server
    (heartbeat).
    

Problem conclusion

  • Licensing code was updated to be able to process the
    heartbeat using  RLP and RLPwCC licenses when using
    RequisitePro client for Windows.
    
       The fix for this APAR was included in RequisitePro
    version 7.1.2.7 and 7.1.3.3.
