| TP-73105 | You cannot shell share Rational Functional Tester with any versions of Rational Application Developer or Rational Software Architect at this moment. If shell sharing Rational Functional Tester with Rational Application Developer or Rational Software Architect is essential, then you must use Rational Functional Tester V10.1.2 with Rational Application Developer V9.7.02 or Rational Software Architect V9.7.0.2 until future versions of Rational Application Developer or Rational Software Architect is released. |

| TP-72726 | When you use a calendar dialog box to select a value in an SAP transaction session and record the SAP test in your product, the Test Generation page and the Error Log page display a warning message. The warning message states that the SAP calendar object has an unpredictable behavior when you play back the test and you must set the date in the value fields by using the string format. Therefore, when you select the Hide GUI during execution option from the SAP Options tab in the Test Details section to play back the SAP test, the product is unable to create a calendar object. Hence the test run fails. To work around this problem, you must perform the following steps: 1. Open the SAP test.
2. Perform the following actions to set the calendar date in a text format:
a. Expand an SAP transaction, and then expand the test element (For example, IDoc List/WE05) that has the calendar control data.b. Select Set focus on <date>. c. Right-click the date from SAP Protocol Data, and then click Create Element. The Create Element page is displayed. d. Select Set text, and then enter the date in the Input value text field. e. Click Finish. 3. Right-click the calendar control (For example, Calendar/WE05), and then click Disable to disable the test elements that have the calendar control. 4. Save the changes, and then run the test. |

| TP-62444 | After you import a Web UI project from Git to Rational Functional Tester workspace, when you execute the AFT suite from the command-line, the execution fails. This is because the Web UI project is not copied to Rational Functional Tester workspace and the workspace contains a reference only. To work around this problem, you must first copy the Web UI project to the workspace, and then execute the test. | |||||||||||||||
| TP-69141 | When you install V10.1.2 of the product, you must decrypt and encrypt each dataset by using the CSV Editor to apply the strongest encryption on each dataset that you used in the earlier version of 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:

| TP-59612 | You must install Rational Functional Tester V10.0.2 on Mac OS by using Installation Manager V1.9.1. For more information, see Product installation issues on Mac OS while using IBM Installation Manager V1.9. | |||||||||||||||
| TP-68671 | Using multiple monitors with workbench running on one monitor and browser on another for an extended view is not supported. | |||||||||||||||
| TP-62667 | When you install Rational Functional Tester V10.1.0 on Red Hat Linux Enterprise 8.0 and 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. To work around this problem, uninstall the AdoptOpenJDK14 product or remove it from the PATH before using the product. | |||||||||||||||
