Rational ClearQuest behavior changes for versions 7.1.1.x and later

Question & Answer

Question

What are the noteworthy product behavior changes in IBM Rational ClearQuest versions 7.1.1.x and later?

Cause

A defect correction or request for enhancement (RFE) causes a behavior change in any product. In Rational ClearQuest, such changes might require schema modifications if a schema relies on the incorrect behavior. User interface changes can result as well.

Answer

Defect corrections and RFEs change Rational ClearQuest behavior. Defect corrections fix incorrect behavior, and RFEs implement new behavior. This technote describes defect corrections and RFEs that might have a noticeable impact on how you interact with Rational ClearQuest. The technote also describes scenarios in which a schema designer might need to adjust your schema customization to account for the defect fix or RFE changes.

This technote does not cover the following information:

It does not list all defect corrections or RFEs from earlier versions of Rational ClearQuest. Instead, it lists defect corrections and RFEs that might cause more noticeable changes, or changes for which a schema designer might want to assess the impact on your schema customization.
It does not list the ClearQuest Web behavioral changes that occurred in ClearQuest 7.1.0. In ClearQuest 7.1.0, the web client and web server were redesigned to provide enhanced experiences over the ClearQuest 7.0.1 web client. A large number of RFEs were addressed, and Web 2.0 technologies were implemented.
It does not contain a comprehensive list of changes that occurred in ClearQuest 7.1.0. However, it does list some changes that occurred in 7.0.0.x, 7.0.1.x, and 7.1.0 that were identified as causing issues for some customers.

Defect	RATLC01325370	PM26463	Schema designer	In ClearQuest 7.0.0.4 and 7.0.1.3, changes are implemented to improve record security. As a result of these changes, if a mandatory reference field is set to a hidden record, it appears to be unset if the user is not allowed to see the relevant hidden records for the reference field. To prevent this common issue, values in reference fields are not hidden, and the default reference field choice list includes all possible values, unless the field in question is a security context field. If this behavior is not desired, it can be customized by using a choice list hook. This behavior change does not apply to reference list fields.

Defect	RATLC01319557	PM19182	All clients, Administrator	In ClearQuest 7.1.x, you can set date values outside the valid range supported in ClearQuest 7.0.x. The valid date ranges for ClearQuest 7.0.x clients is 1970-01-01 to 2038-01-18. ClearQuest 7.0.1 clients cannot display dates outside this range. On clients that run on platforms other than UNIX, an error message displays indicating that the record cannot be found. On UNIX platforms, the date is deleted. This behavior is corrected in ClearQuest 7.0.1.11 by displaying a more descriptive error message. Users are encouraged to use ClearQuest 7.1.x because expanded date ranges are allowed.

RFE	CCM3893		Administrator	Action required: To use the OSLC-based Application Lifecycle Management integration between ClearQuest 7.1.2 and Rational Team Concert 3.0 and later, you need to migrate your ClearQuest 7.1.1 URI links to Rational Team Concert to a new format. These ClearQuest 7.1.1 URI links are stored in the Jazz repository. Use the modifyLinkURIs tool, documented in the Rational Team Concert 3.0.x Knowledge Center. Rational Team Concert 2.0.x URI links continue to work with ClearQuest 7.1.2 without a change.	1433074
RFE	CCM2344		OSLC API user	The URI to connect to ClearQuest by using the ClearQuest OSLC Change Management API has changed from `http://`server`/oslc/cqrest` to `http://`server`/cqweb/oslc`. Action required: You must update any code that uses the ClearQuest OSLC Change Management URI to use the new base URI. See the ClearQuest OSLC Change Management API Specification and Technote 1433074. If you use the Rational Quality Manager integration with Rational ClearQuest, you must follow the steps in Technote 1468356 after upgrading to ClearQuest 7.1.2.x.	1433074 1468356
RFE	RATLC01278561	CR4830	Schema designer	The ClearQuest API documentation has been updated to state that cqperl evaluates an empty string as a NULL value. This is a clarification, not a change. To test for an empty string, use the CQ_COMP_OP_IS_NULL operator in queries.
RFE	CCM2339		All clients, Administrator	ClearQuest now supports Windows 7 with User Access Control (UAC) capabilities enabled.	1449897
RFE	CCM2406		All clients, Schema designer	Many ClearQuest error messages are now prefixed with an IBM Software Group standard format error code. You must adjust any scripts that are sensitive to error message content to handle the error prefixes. The error prefixes use the following convention: CRMxxNNNNE, where CRM is constant, xx indicates a ClearQuest component, NNNN is the error number in that component, and E indicates that it is an error message. Note: Error messages that originate in the ClearQuest Web client code or the ClearQuest Client (Eclipse based) code do not yet follow this convention.
RFE	CCM2408, RATLC01056324	CR303	Web client, Schema designer	ClearQuest Web multiline string fields now have an ellipse button similar to the Eclipse Rich-Client-Platform-based ClearQuest Client. Clicking the ellipse button opens a dialog box for editing the multiline string. You might need to adjust form layouts.
RFE	CCM2693, RATLC01308060		Administrator	An administrator must have Super User privileges to reactivate an inactive user with Super User privileges.
RFE	CCM4238, RATLC01499372	CR5545	Web client	The What's New section of the 7.1.2 Release Notes describes a new user preference that controls how to open related records and the display of related records. You can choose to open related records in a floating window, or on a new tab within the current browser window.

RFE	RATLC01068596 RATLC01037577	CR39	All clients, Administrator	The default behavior for storing ClearQuest database connection profile information has changed. By default, ClearQuest now stores this information in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry hive on Windows. In versions earlier than ClearQuest 7.1.1, the ClearQuest database connection profile information was superseded by HKEY_CURRENT_USER settings. ClearQuest v7.1.1 writes to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry hive only. You can use the master property USE_BOTH_HKCU_AND_HKLM to restore the previous behavior.	1416304
Defect	RATLC01322661	PM23107	Administrator	The default settings in the IBM HTTP SERVER (IHS) installed with IBM Rational ClearQuest 7.1.x are such that the response messages from the ClearQuest Web server include the HTTP server type and version in their headers. This can be eliminated to prevent unnecessary disclosure of this information.	1497838
Defect	RATLC01528613	PM26394	All clients	Handling of date-based filters changed between ClearQuest 7.0 and ClearQuest 7.1. The interpretation of whether a date-based filter with a 00:00:00 time component changed from meaning an entire day to meaning exactly midnight. Now date-based filters with no time component mean an entire day.	1497100

RFE	RATLC01298128 RATLC01305738	CR3120	Administrator	By default, the Upgrade dialog box in the ClearQuest User Administration tool (DB Action > Upgrade) includes a new button to select all or clear all user databases in the list. You can disable this feature by setting the HIDE_CLEAR_SELECT_ALL master property.
Defect	RATLC01291499	PK88206	Web client	In earlier ClearQuest versions, when you used a drop-down list, entering an asterisk () without any other characters did not return entries in the list that started with an asterisk. This incorrect behavior is fixed. Now, typing an asterisk in a drop-down list without any other characters returns a list of all entries that start with an asterisk. To find an entry that contains only one asterisk, precede the asterisk with a backslash. For example: \.
Defect	RATLC01301847	PK98962	Eclipse client	In earlier ClearQuest versions, when duplicating a record, the Find dialog box incorrectly displayed the contents of the Summary field instead of the contents of the Headline field. This incorrect behavior is fixed. Now, the Find dialog box displays the Headline field contents if it exists, or nothing if the field does not exist.	1407695
Defect	RATLC01304085	PM01520	Web client	In earlier ClearQuest versions, if the Delete button was removed from a reference list on the form, ClearQuest Web did not remove the Delete action from the context menu. This is now fixed.
Defect	RATLC01304406	PM01873	Web client	In earlier ClearQuest versions, ClearQuest Web 7.1.x did not sort reference lists based on the first column as ClearQuest Web 7.0.x does. This is fixed. Now, ClearQuest Web 7.1.x sorts by the first column in reference lists.
Defect	RATLC01373373	PK87009	All clients, Schema designer	In earlier ClearQuest versions, on the Windows platform, if a form control displayed only the time component of a DATE_TIME field, you could not select the date portion of this field. Instead, ClearQuest set a default date value that matched the default Windows API start date of 1970-01-01. ClearQuest did not account for time zones and GMT when setting this phantom date. The result was that certain times were not saved depending on the time zone. This behavior is fixed. Now, ClearQuest detects if setting the phantom date to 1970-01-01 will cause an error. If so, ClearQuest sets the date to 1970-01-02. As a schema developer or user, you should not assume that the date portion of a DATE_TIME field has a valid date unless you can modify the date by using the form control.
Defect	RATLC01411518	PM01571	Eclipse client	The Is Null operator is now available for multiline fields when you create a dynamic filter query. This functionality matches the capabilities in ClearQuest Web.

Defect	RATLC01527330		Eclipse client	In earlier ClearQuest versions, the Constant List Limits selection in the Eclipse client added a blank line as a choice, which differs from the Web client or Windows client. This is corrected. Starting in ClearQuest 7.1.0.4, the Eclipse client does not add a blank line as a choice. Starting in ClearQuest 7.1.1.2, the Eclipse client is also corrected to allow accurate comparisons in complex temporary save and reload operations when reverting records in a customized schema.
Defect	RATLC01280129	PK79693	Web client	In earlier ClearQuest versions, email links to queries in a Personal Queries folder produced errors. This is corrected.
Defect	RATLC01308756	PM06784	Web client	In earlier ClearQuest versions, ClearQuest Web 7.1.x drop-down list boxes configured for Limit to List let you enter values that were not in the limited list. However, when you saved the record, the values were cleared and a yellow warning appeared in the field. Now, when you encounter this behavior, a warning dialog box opens to alert you to incorrect data entry. Ignoring the warning still saves the record with a blank value.
Defect	RATLC01310302	PM08526	Command-line user	In earlier ClearQuest versions, running a cqtool subcommand always returned the value 1. This has been fixed. Now, running a cqtool subcommand returns 0 when the command runs successfully, and a nonzero value to indicate an error.
Defect	RATLC01310638	PM08886	Eclipse client	In earlier ClearQuest versions, if a Record Script Alias (RSA) action was called from a record form and the RSA returned null, the record form was erroneously closed. This is corrected. Now, the record form is kept open when an RSA action is called from a record form and the RSA returns null. This behavior is consistent with the Windows and Web clients.
Defect	RATLC01310845	PM09105	Web client	In earlier ClearQuest versions, on a form that has a DATE_TIME field with controls for the date and time, clearing the date and time and then saving the record did not save the cleared field. Instead the original time was saved. This is corrected. Now, the cleared value is saved.
Defect	RATLC01311901	PM10344	Eclipse client	ClearQuest is designed to enforce that named list entries are unique and case-insensitive. In earlier ClearQuest versions, the Eclipse client correctly checked that named list entries were unique when the list was created. However, adding subsequent named list entries incorrectly allowed duplicate entries where the only difference was letter case. This is corrected. Now, checking for named list entries is case insensitive.
Defect	RATLC01312238	PM10734	Eclipse client	In earlier ClearQuest versions, when removing fields from the export list, you had to remove all the fields and re-add only the fields that you wanted. This is corrected. Now, you can select fields individually to remove from the export list by double-clicking the field.
Defect	RATLC01312415	PM10910	All clients	API calls to the Windows registry can occasionally fail when multiple processes are accessing the registry. To address this issue, ClearQuest now retries. This change might cause a small performance impact during log-on.	1427970
Defect	RATLC01479715	PK82762	Web client	In earlier ClearQuest versions, ClearQuest Web only displayed dates in United States date format. Now, ClearQuest Web checks the browser locale before displaying dates.
Defect	RATLC01307922	PM05779	Eclipse client	In earlier ClearQuest versions, the ClearQuest Import Tool converted line feeds (LF) to carriage return-line feeds (CRLF) in multiline text fields. This behavior is corrected. Now, the Import Tool converts a LF to a CRLF only at the end of the multiline text field.	1428433

Defect	RATLC01271662	PM01952	Web client	In previous ClearQuest versions, you were not informed of a failed log on caused by incorrect credentials until after the database set selection dialog box opens. Now, you are informed of a failed log on before the database set selection dialog box opens.	1410302
Defect	RATLC01274024	PM08547	Web client	Security context for Web clients has changed to hide records in the following scenario: Suppose the form for Record A includes a field on Record B, and Record B is controlled by a security context. If you try to access the form on Record A and the security context of Record B does not let you see the Record B field on the Record A form, then an exception message appears. Security context hides Record A because you are not allowed to see the information on Record B. This behavior now matches the clients for Eclipse and Windows.	1430653
Defect	RATLC01299145	PK96464	All clients	By default, ClearQuest does not let you add multiple stateless record entries to a reference list where the unique ID of the entries differs by case only. Stateless records can have the same name that differs by case only if the ClearQuest database is defined as case sensitive. You can override the default ClearQuest behavior to allow multiple entries that differ by case only by setting the CHECK_CASE_IN_REFLIST schema property to 1. Oracle and DB2 databases are case sensitive by default and support this capability if the schema property is set.	1442967
Defect	RATLC01502296	PM11762	Web client	A user preference has been added that controls the date and time format display in result set fields of type DATE_TIME. This preference also affects the format for dates that are recorded in the history fields. The new preference is described in the What's New section of the ClearQuest version 7.1.2 help and in Technote 1440291.	1440291
Defect	RATLC01505048	PM14620	All clients	If an LDAP authenticated user has an error during log-on, error messages from the LDAP server are no longer displayed. The reason for this change is to increase system security. Instead, a generic error message displays that is independent of the cause of the logon failure.

Defect	RATLC01325290		Web client	Result set display column-width auto-sizing is adjusted. The size is adjusted by using the following criteria: 1. Compare the column title and the column content width, go to the wider one. 2. If the one selected in step 1 is larger than the maximum character width, the column width is set with the maximum character width or go to the bigger one in step 1.
Defect	RATLC01320313	PM20172	Administrator, Restricted Web client	For web restricted mode users, setting the” Allow Find Record When Restricted” to disallow access only controlled access to the find record “search” control in the web client. This setting has been expanded to also disallow access for the "View a record" REST URI. For example, if “Allow Find Record When Restricted” is set to disallow access, then a restricted user will not be able to access a record by using a bookmarked web url. Note that record visibility for any particular group of users must be controlled by using the ClearQuest security context feature, also known as. “record hiding”.
Defect	RATLC01320397	PM20270	Administrator	For web client, the result set column width can be configured in the Site Administration options. This width had an internal maximum limitation of 50 characters. Previously, strings that exceeded this width were truncated. Now the strings are line wrapped up to 300 characters.
Defect	RATLC01320578	PM20493	Schema designer	Using the Eclipse-based designer, you can now change the dbname for a record type until the schema has been changed, even if there is a test work database associated with the version you're working on.
Defect	RATLC01320934	PM20943	Security Administrator	The security context feature only hides the content of records, not whether they exist or not. The cache is allowed to contain entries for records that are hidden, which can be found without being subject to any further checks. Since the cache has a limit of 100, a fix has been made to ignore security when checking the existence of a record if the number of records is greater than 100.
Defect	RATLC01322520	PM22926	cqtool user	The option -show for the cqtool command line interface has been implemented.
Defect	RATLC01322648	PM23091	Administrator	A ClearQuest multisite license is checked out and held when the ClearQuest Eclipse client is connected to a non-multisite user database that exists within a multisite enabled dbset. With this fix, the multisite license is still required during log on, but is released if the user database is not a multi-sited user database.
Defect	RATLC01398337	PM22186	Schema designer, All clients	This change makes backreferences act like read only reference lists, which is their intended design. Prior to this change, the schema designer could construct form buttons and actions that attempted to modify the backreference. Such schema designs could sometimes appear to work, but could create orphaned incorrect link reference in the database tables. This change enforces the design that backreferences are read only. Schemas that attempt to modify backreferences need to be adjusted to accept this change. Failure to change the schema will result in run-time errors when the backreferences are attempted to be modified.	1469019
Defect	RATLC01508142	PM17616	Reporting users	A new parameter named 'MaxMultiLineText' can be added to the connection URL for the ClearQuest reporting driver to override the default length for multi-line string fields.

Defect	CCM5687		Schema designer	The ClearQuest Designer incorrectly allowed setting of the flag Unicode Aware on global scripts.

Defect	RATLC01311763	PM10212	Schema designer	Pre and post-action hooks work differently between pre-7.1 Web and post 7.1 Web. Addresses a issue in the ClearQuest Web client where the behavior of pre-action and post-action hooks changed where reference lists were unable to successfully remove a selected child record via a hook.
Defect	RATLC01316067	PM17548	Administrator	ClearQuest on 64 bit Windows throws error when creating Session Object in VB script.	1447229
Defect	CCM16479		Schema designer	The Designer group label could be removed - depends on the order of clicking the radio buttons. The solution is to have the schema developer manually associate all radio buttons that are created with a group (if that's desired).This may appear to be a regression to the customer if their normal process was to: 1. Create radio button "A". 2. Go to the extended properties for "A" and set the group name and group label. 3. Leave the extended properties open. 4. Create another radio button "B". Since the extended properties were left open in step 3, they are automatically displayed in step 4, which means that the group name/label automatically get set. 5. Go to the main properties for "B" and set the button name. This same use case would differ in that in step 4, the fact that the extended properties is being displayed would NOT automatically associate "B" with the group created in step 2. The user would need to set the group by selecting the group from the combo.
Defect	CCM18187		Schema designer	As of ClearQuest versions 7.0.1.11, 7.1.1.04, and 7.1.2.01, ClearQuest no longer lets you modify back reference fields because this can cause database corruption. Attempting to modify back reference fields now returns an exception instead of an error string. This behavior is consistent with how other ClearQuest API calls handle similar errors. The prior behavior of returning a string can be restored by setting a schema property.	1469019
Defect	CCM18157, CCM17133, CCM18167, CCM17434, CCM17744		Schema designer	ClearQuest Web handling references lists when references are secured with security context records continues to improve.
Defect	CCM17100		Eclipse client	The ClearQuest client did not report some error situations. The client now correctly reports these errors. This matches the CQ Web and CQ client for Windows reporting.
Defect	RATLC01332399	PM36187	Schema designer	Addresses a potential upgrade issue from 7.0.x web to 7.1.x web. Before adding a value to a reference list, CM Server ensures that the value is an actual record, that the record actually exists. The checking that CM Server does may interfere with certain hook code. For some customers it is expected/allowed to set invalid references. Hook code in the schema corrects these invalid values before the record is saved. CM Server no longer performs these checks early. The checks are delayed until the save process.
Defect	CCM21821		Administrator	Installutil and other command line utilities may now print extra warning messages if the license server is unavailable.

Defect	RATLC01333054 CCM24103	PM37014	Schema designer	The EPIC editor plug-in used for editing Perl code in the Eclipse-based Designer does not support UTF-8. This caused errors in displaying the pre-log template of hook code for some situations. The Designer now recognizes these cases and displays the record's dbname as the prefix. This does not affect what is actually stored in the database. The only behavioral change is visual.
Defect	RATLC01333525 CCM22584	PM37849	Web client	The “Title” column label in the Query Presentation for a field now matches the field label. This matches what the ClearQuest Web 7.0.x and what the desktop clients provide. This change impacts the title of any “dotted” fields that are shown in result sets or exported. For example, the title will now be “Owner.Fullname” instead of just “Fullname”.

A CONSTANT_LIST is one where the “limit to list” is configured and makes it a closed list. This has been corrected to only allow the same capitalization as the specified list entries. This can be overridden by schema hook code if needed. For non-”limit to list” cases, ClearQuest does not make any validation, and as before, it is the validation hooks job to decide if an entry is correct or not.

In particular, ClearCase/ClearQuest UCM integration users intermittently see more license usage than expected. It can be as many as one extra license checked out per user. The extra license check outs were caused by ClearQuest admin sessions consuming licenses when they should not have been. This has been fixed for all ClearQuest clients.

Defect	RATLC01540676 CCM38126	PM71175	Administrator	When a ClearQuest Web CQRPC process reaches the 'Recycle Server Lifetime Limit', it is marked for termination by the CM Server. If the CQRPC process fails to exit, it will appear as hung in the process list and will run indefinitely if not terminated manually. Processes like that can and should be terminated to prevent them from consuming unnecessary resources such as CPU or Memory. A fix has been made to use a PERL script in 8.0.0.5 and 7.1.2.9, called cqrpccleanup.pl, to address this issue. This script is run automatically by the CM Server periodically based on an MBean value cqrpcAbandonedProcessCleanupInterval. The script checks the PIDs of the cqprc processes that are running in CM Server and that are running on the machine itself. It terminates the processes that are not in the CM Server list and that have been up for at least 5 minutes.

RFE	CCM12365		Adminstrator, OSLC programmers	The OSLC API did not respect the Restricted Mode settings of the CQ Web Server. Since OSLC is a web-enabled API, it should restrict access and not grant access to restricted users using the OSLC API. Since the OSLC specification does not support all the capabilities of the CQ Web Restricted Mode of operation, CQ OSLC API now does not allow a restricted user to log into CQ. Otherwise, the restricted user using CQ OSLC PI would consume a CQ license and have full access to all CQ Web capabilities for that user.
Defect	CCM32976 RATLC02497333	PM51842	Web client	When a ClearQuest Web user selects the Print icon, a blank white screen was shown instead of the print preview, if the record has some field values with invalid XML characters (like the arrow character). Some word processor use the ASCII control characters to represent these special characters. Pasting text from the word processor document into a CQ text field preserves the ASCII value of these special characters, but XML processing declares these to be illegal XML characters. This has been corrected so that the invalid XML characters are replaced by spaces. The print will now display the text without these special characters.
Defect	CCM37127 CCM42959 CCM42235 RATLC01544483	PM80778	Administrator	ClearQuest licenses in a web enabled environment are generally consumed by a unique combination of userid + hostid + dbset. In the CQ Web load balanced environment, the addition of more than one potential host (server) can cause more than one license to be checked out for a given user.The ClearQuest license code has been changed to disregard the host and dbset in which the user is performing a login in a web enabled situation. This forces the license server to reserve only one license for a given user id - regardless of the host and or dbset. This change may be noticed in how many licenses are being consumed (fewer than before).
Defect	CCM44683 RATLC01546996	PM86523	Administrator, Web client	When clicking on a URL to enter ClearQuest Web, or if entering ClearQuest Web through an additional web-browser tab, users may experience an "Error 500 java.lang.NullPointerException". If the web user is already logged in, the URLs work as they should. NOTE - this is a regression introduced in ClearQuest Web 7.1.2.10 and 8.0.0.6. The ClearQuest Web URLs now work as they did prior to 7.1.2.10 and 8.0.0.6 even if the web user is not logged in.
