PM43546: Non-unique file / directory names when using Rhapsody / MainWin

Rational Rhapsody 7.6.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In general, the problem can be summarised as MainWin not having
  100% coverage of unique file / directory creation using
  mktemp(). Usually it does, but there are a few places where it
  does not seem to use mktemp() and conflicts (and crashes!) arise
  because of this.. as multiple users are running RhapsodyCL on
  the same machine and temporary files for user A are being
  created with the same name as temporary files for user B. This
  extends to directory creation as well.
