Known Limitations
Viewing help topics from the context sensitive help and the product Welcome
This product includes context sensitive help and a product Welcome, which, in turn, include links to the information center help. These links only work while the correct version of the information center help is open.
Microsoft Silverlight support:
Rational Functional Tester supports recording Silverlight applications only on 32 bit Internet Explorer.
Microsoft .NET 4.5 support
Recording actions on the drop-down list of a RibbonFilterMenu is not supported.
PDF 9.0, 10.0 and 11.0 file testing support
When you record on the Reader toolbar buttons in Adobe Reader 10.0 and 11.0, the action is recorded as click(atPoint(x,y)).
When you record on a PDF file that is opened in a Mozilla Firefox browser, you must first record actions in the browser and then begin the recording on the PDF file.
Playback fails when only the find() API is used to locate objects. As a workaround, click the captured object first and then play back.
In Rational Functional Tester Microsoft Studio Integration, the PDF crashes during the playback, following a few clicks.
Other limitations and workarounds
To enable Google Chrome for testing, the extension must be installed from the Chrome Web Store. For more information, see technote 1699063.
An Oracle Java Runtime Environment (JRE) must be installed and enabled for testing Google Chrome with Rational Functional Tester. For more information, see technote 1973262.
For improving the performance of Rational Functional Tester with the Mozilla Firefox browser, see technote 1995375.
Clearcase integration is only supported with a 32-bit installation of Rational Functional Tester.
For testing 32 bit applications on Linux, RFT must be installed with 32-bit architecture.
For testing 64 bit applications on Linux, RFT must be installed with 64-bit architecture.
When running mobile Web UI tests with Safari on iOS devices, tests containing JavaScript alerts fail to run. This is an Appium limitation.
With parallel test execution in 9.2.1, mobile devices are sometimes listed twice in the Run Test wizard, once for running the test with Chrome, and once for using the generic browser that is included with Rational Functional Tester. Be sure to select only one or the other. Parallel execution on an individual mobile device is not supported.

- What software versions were you running when the problem occurred?
- Do you have logs, traces, or messages that are related to the problem?
- Can you reproduce the problem? If so, what steps do you take to reproduce it?
- Is there a workaround for the problem? If so, be prepared to describe the workaround.
