  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When using the integration with RequisitePro, Rational Quality
  Manager uses several functions for reading data. During this
  process RequisitePro loads objects into memory which are re-used
  while the application is working in the same project. After each
  request, RequisitePro refresh the objects in order to ensure the
  integrity of the data.
  

Problem conclusion

• The RequisitePro code was modified and the fix now works in
  conjunction with the flag "NotReuseRqProxyRest" (which can be
  found in the config.txt file). Whenever the flag is set TRUE,
  each call will create a new process for handling the request and
   will be deleted at the end of the process preventing the
  execution of the refresh action
  
  The fix for this APAR was included in RequisitePro version
  7.1.3.8 and 7.1.4.1
