Definitions

Regression: An error in the Maintenance Delivery Vehicle (MDV) that produces incorrect or unexpected behavior causing a supported feature to stop functioning as designed.
This includes:

  • Coding errors that cause a regression
  • Documentation or packaging problems that cause a regression
  • Errors reported in a new function delivered in a MDV that cause a regression

Incomplete: An error in the MDV has not regressed, but does not work as designed.
This includes:

  • Fixed APARs which did not solve the original problem but did not break anything new
  • APARs reporting documentation errors, such as readme errors, that cause problems applying an MDV but do not lead to a regression

Notes:
  • Regression and incomplete APARs are considered fix-in-error or MDV-in-error
  • Definitions above apply only to valid APARs that result in product fixes (APARs returned as working-as-designed are not assessed for being fix-in-error)
  • Issues in major releases due to new functionality do not apply in this definition

There are no known regressions to report.

Previous known issues that still apply
ID Description
TP-62667 When you install Rational Service Tester for SOA Quality V10.1.0 on Red Hat Linux Enterprise 8.0 or later, the installation fails with an error message.
To work around this problem, you must first install libnsl.so.1 on your computer for a successful installation of the product. Alternatively, you can create a soft link from libnsl.so.2 by running the following command on the command-line interface:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libnsl.so.2 /usr/lib64/libnsl.so.1
TP-67053 On Windows, there is an incompatibility between the version of Java packaged with the product (OpenJDK OpenJ9 V1.8.0_252) and AdoptOpenJDK14 when Symantec Endpoint Protection is installed.
To work around this problem, uninstall the AdoptOpenJDK14 product or remove it from the PATH before using the product.
TP-64492
When you upgraded the product from V10.0.0 to V10.0.1, and then to V10.0.2.1, you cannot roll back to V10.0.1 of the product. You must uninstall V10.0.2.1, and then install the desired version.
 

If you directly upgraded the product either from V10.0.0 or V10.0.1 to V10.0.2.1, then you can roll back to the previous version of the product, that is, V10.0.0 or V10.0.1. 

The following table illustrates the rollback status when you upgrade the product from previous versions to V10.0.2.1:

Installed version Upgraded path Rollback status

V10.0.0 V10.0.0 > V10.0.1 > V10.0.2 > V10.0.2.1 Rollback to V10.0.2: Success
Rollback to V10.0.1 and V10.0.0: Failure
