Fixes defects in this Fix Pack release

This fix pack corrects the following Authorized Program Analysis Reports (APARs) and software defects. It includes all fixes from the previous v. 7.0.0 interim fix releases, as well as the new fixes for the following software defects. Descriptions of fixed defects in the interim fixes are included in the readme files associated with each interim fix download.

IC44548 (RATLC00738463) - The New Requirements wizard has been modified when using tables in a document to prevent the overlap of requirement text or the inclusion of cell borders in the requirement text. Sentences or paragraphs within a cell are now included in the requirement text if the keyword is present, based on the user's selections in the wizard. Users can now successfully delete requirements that are created within tables.

IC49248 (RATLC00740740) - Corrects a problem when working in ClearQuest and attempting to view associated requirements in the RequisitePro integration. The RequisitePro Project Logon window was hidden behind the ClearQuest interface. Also, when viewing requirement properties, if you clicked elsewhere in the ClearQuest interface, a Server Is Busy window was displayed in the foreground; the Switch To and Retry options in that window failed to close it. All windows are now shown with proper modality, allowing you to log on to the RequisitePro project and work from within ClearQuest without interruption.

PK13938 (RATLC01102491) - The process for importing a document has been modified to prevent the display of an error when the import is cancelled. The imported document is now deleted after the cancellation.

PK21553 (RATLC00769892) - Corrects a problem that occurred when accessing RequisitePro using Remote Desktop. A "Virtual Machine stack overflow" error sometimes occurred when minimizing or maximizing the Remote Desktop session while RequisitePro is launching, opening a project, opening a large Traceability Matrix view with external traces, or importing a large document or CSV file.

PK23072 (RATLC00984969) - A white paper "RequisitePro Client Project Size Guidelines" is now available to project size and related performance issues. The paper provides recommended limits for the number of requirements in a project and the average number of characters in the requirements. For a copy of this white paper, please contact Customer Support at www.ibm.com/support.

PK26132 (RATLC00145450) - Corrects a problem in the Japanese version of RequisiteWeb in which Attribute Matrix queries that included a <NO ENTRY> attribute value displayed incorrect view results.

PK29574 (RATLC00994584) - RequisiteWeb administrators can now disable the project creation capability for all RequisiteWeb users. The administrator must change the value of the DisableCreateProject variable to true in the [Web server] section of the config.txt file. The default setting, DisableCreateProject=false, permits RequisiteWeb users to create projects. The default location of the config.txt file is:

C:\Program Files\Rational\Common\rwp\EmbeddedExpress\profiles\profile2\ installedApps\DefaultNode\ReqWeb.ear\ReqWeb.war\WEB-INF\classes\config.txt. You must restart the "IBM WebSphere Application Server V6 - Rational Web Platform, ReqWeb servlet engine" service after modifying the config.txt.

PK29758 (RATLC00994957) - Corrects a limitation in the Change Description window that is displayed when saving a document with changed requirement text. The text field has been modified to allow entry of carriage returns within the text.

PK30569 (RATLC00996396) - Corrects a Baseline Manager problem that caused project descriptions with multiple lines of text to be displayed incorrectly in projects created from the baseline. Carriage returns are now retained properly.

PK30571 (RATLC01185566) - Corrects a Baseline Manager problem that caused inconsistent results when generating a report if the project baselines had packages with the same name in the project. Package names now have unique identifiers appended to them in the reports. The hierarchy for each package and links in the index file are now included.

PK30777 (RATLC00996802) - Applies the Test Manager user name and password when opening a Requisite project through the integration with Test Manager. This prevents the display of the login prompt and provides support for automated access through the API.

PK30915 (RATLC00495130) - Corrects a problem that caused a read-only Word document that is not controlled by RequisitePro to be deleted while saving changes to a RequisitePro document.

PK30980 (RATLC00492619) - Resolves problems that occurred when users attempted to change their passwords in RequisiteWeb. Users with RequisitePro authentication can change their passwords in RequisiteWeb. LDAP-enabled users must change their passwords using the LDAP server or its associated user account management application.

PK31479 (RATLC00998188) - Prevents the display of carriage returns as solid rectangles in CSV files when exporting an Attribute Matrix that contains text values with carriage returns.

PK31596 (RATLC00998379) - Eliminates the an error that was displayed in RequisiteWeb when the user attempts to take a document offline or view document properties. This fix enables the proper display of the document Revision history.

PK32741 (RATLC01000614) - Prevents RequisiteWeb session timeouts and database locks when creating traceability between to external projects from a Traceability Matrix view with a Microsoft SQL Server database.

PK32913 (RATLC01000953) - Corrects a problem in RequisiteWeb so that the revision history of traceability relationship changes are now recorded for both "trace from" requirements, as well as "trace to" requirements.

PK32953 (RATLC00498290) - Fixes the display of special characters, such as the ampersand (&) and double quotes, in the RequisiteWeb Requirement Properties window for read-only users.

PK32962 (RATLC00498320) - Fixes the display of requirement text as a single line in the RequisiteWeb Requirement Properties window for read-only users. The requirement text now wraps in the window as expected.

PK32983 (RATLC01001101) - Eliminates an error that occurred in RequisiteWeb when creating a Traceability Matrix view in the root package of the project.

PK33620 (RATLC01186427) - Improves performance when opening discussions in RequisitePro using the Tools > Discussions menu command when the project contains many discussions.

PK35406 (RATLC01005313) - The operation for saving a RequisitePro document in Word has been modified to improve performance.
