APAR / IDDescription
TP-93551Previously, during the playback of a test with WebSocket interactions on an HTTPS connection, a BufferOverflowException occurred when arbitrary WebSocket traffic was received. This problem is fixed.
Release 11.0.2
LinkDate ReleasedStatus
APAR / IDDescription
TP-92614When you try to instrument WebSphere Application Server (WAS) server by using the Application Server Instrumenter (ASI) in DevOps Test Performance 11.0.2, the instrumentation of the WAS server fails with an error message.
Before you use the Application Server Instrumenter to instrument WebSphere Application Server, you must set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the folder <WAS install dir>\java, and then start Application Server Instrumenter.
TP-93062
The DevOps Test Application Server Instrumenter no longer supports Application Servers running Java 6 or 7. The minimum supported Java version is now 8.
TP-92013Previously, when you ran an HTTP test with a POST request that contained JSON content, the equal symbol (=) was transformed to \u003d during playback. This transformation caused Content-Length discrepancies and impacted the POST request. This problem is fixed.
Now, you must regenerate the tests to get the updated JSON content, if they were created in an older version of DevOps Test Performance. Alternatively, you can manually replace \u003d with an equal symbol (=) in the JSON content.
TP-91484Previously, when you selected the Load option from My Repository workspace for a component to load all the test assets available in the stream to be pushed to IBM Engineering Workflow Management, the assets created by the other users failed to load and displayed an error message.
