Troubleshooting
Problem
Attempts to use the Up Arrow button on the top left of the Staffing View to navigate to another task after changing the EETC of a task results in a "Unhandled exception: EInvalidCast - Invalid class typecast" error in IBM Rational Portfolio Manager.
Symptom
Steps to reproduce:
- Log in to Rational Portfolio Manager.
- Create a new Proposal and two tasks A and B underneath.
- Select the task A and Assign a resource for 8 hours of work
- Select the task B and Assign a resource for 8 hours of work
- Select the task B and go to Staffing view > the lower pane of Project Resources tab.
- Modify the EETC value under EETC header to something else (i.e.,9 hours).
- Do not click outside or refresh of the EETC field and try to navigate to the task A by clicking on the Up Arrow button on the left hand top of the Staffing view.
- Confirm that you receive the "Unhandled exception: EInvalidCast - Invalid class typecast" error.
Cause
This error is caused by a limitation in the Delphi code.
Resolving The Problem
The limitation in the Delphi code that is causing this problem will not be addressed in a future version of Rational Portfolio Manager. It must remain a permanent product restriction.
WORKAROUND:
Click outside the EETC field before clicking on the Up Arrow button on the left hand top of the Staffing view.
