For more detailed information about compatibility issues among IBM Rational products, go to the release notes for the specific IBM Rational products of interest to you.
If you are installing IBM Rational XDE, IBM Rational PurifyPlus, or a Suite product containing IBM Rational PurifyPlus, the IBM Rational Setup wizard prompts you to select the IDE in which you want the product to run. The selectable list of IDEs is dependent on your system's IDE.
Note: This issue applies to version 2003.06.13 or earlier.
IBM Rational XDE 1.1 is supported.
For more information about IBM Rational XDE, go to the IBM Rational Support Web site, http:/www.ibm.com/software/rational/support/ and read the IBM Rational XDE release notes.
For information about IBM Rational RequisitePro integration with Rational XDE, see the Rational RequisitePro release notes.
Some versions of IBM Rational Purify, IBM Rational Quantify, and IBM Rational PureCoverage are not compatible with XDE versions. For more information about IBM Rational XDE, go to the IBM Rational Support Web site, http:/www.ibm.com/software/rational/support/ and read the IBM Rational XDE release notes.
If you have installed an earlier version of IBM Rational Test RealTime on the same system with IBM Rational Suite, upgrade IBM Rational Test RealTime to version 2002.05. Earlier versions of IBM Rational Test RealTime will fail after installation of IBM Rational Suite version 2002.05. Upgrades are free to all IBM Rational customers with a current maintenance contract. Please contact your IBM Rational sales representative for additional information.
Note: This issue applies to version 2003.06.13 or earlier.
To estimate the number of files added to source control for an IBM Rational RequisitePro project, use the following formula:
Number of
Files = 10 + 3 * (number of documents) + (number of saved views) + (number of
Requirement Types)
Estimated Operation Time in Minutes: 10 * number of files) / 60 seconds
Example:
Number of documents = 165
Number of saved views = 37
Number of Requirement Types = 12
The time required to add a RequisitePro project to source control is proportional to the number of requirement types, documents, and saved views in the project. Adding the above example (554 files) to source control initially took:
If you use IBM Rational ClearCase LT to bring your IBM Rational RequisitePro project to a baseline, follow these tips to improve performance of Checkin All operation:
To estimate the number of files added to source control or for a Test project, use the following formula:
Number of GUI script files = (number of GUI scripts) * (2 + OP + (2 * OD))
Where:
OP = Average number of object property verification points + average number of low level scripts + average number of alphanumeric verification points
OD = Average number of object data verification points
Number of files = 200 + number of GUI script files + number of manual scripts
Estimated operation time in minutes:
(10 * number of files) / 60 seconds
Example:
Number of GUI scripts = 200
Estimated 3 object or alphanumeric verification point and/or low-level scripts
Estimated 1 data verification point
Number of manual scripts = 100
Number of GUI script files = 200 * (2 + 3 + (2 * 1)) = 1400
The 10x factor in computing the time is based on an estimated five seconds for two ClearCase operations that must be performed on each file in this implementation. You may be able to improve performance of these operations with a high-powered and correctly configured ClearCase server.
You may see an error message about data code pages if your IBM Rational project is integrated with ClearQuest. For more information, see the "IBM Rational ClearQuest Documentation Supplement version 2003.06.15" and the "IBM Rational ClearQuest Administrator's Guide version 2003.06.00."

Windows XP SP2 enables a firewall that can make it difficult for the IBM Rational product client and/or server to operate. You may receive warnings about network connections when using the following IBM Rational client applications:
You might receive warnings about network connections when using the following IBM Rational server applications installed on Windows XP SP2:
Allowing network traffic when using Windows XP SP2
If you are using one of the IBM Rational applications that are affected by XP
SP2, while making outgoing requests, a warning dialog might open to inform you
that an outgoing request is being made. If the firewall blocks network
traffic, then client/server applications will not operate. To ensure that IBM
Rational products operate with Windows XP SP2, you must allow network traffic
by doing one of the following:
IBM Rational License Server (FLEXlm-based) and Windows XP Service Pack 2
Communication ports on Windows XP SP2 are closed by default. For a License
Server installed on Windows XP SP2 to be able to serve licenses to clients
other than itself, it needs two open ports, one each for rational.exe
and lmgrd.exe.
To open the firewall for the IBM Rational License Server (FLEXlm-based) on Windows XP SP2 machines, go to the Rational/common directory and double-click WinXPSP2.reg. This file will import the changes to the registry and open up the firewall for rational.exe and lmgrd.exe to use any ports.
Note: If you did not use the default path (C:\Program Files\Rational\Common\) to install the Rational License Server, you must edit the WinXPSP2.reg file by replacing the C:\Program Files\Rational\Common in two locations in each line with the actual installation path. Optionally, you can open the firewall for the IBM Rational License Server (FLEXlm-based) manually by following these instructions:
You must register all ClearCase server processes (those from the albd_server and those listed in %CLEARCASEHOME%\config\services\albd.conf) with the firewall by using the Windows Firewall Control panel or netsh firewall add allowedprogram command. See the IBM Rational ClearCase release notes for sample batch scripts to register and unregister processes in all scopes and profiles.
IBM Rational TestManager, Robot, and Test Agent and Windows XP Service
Pack 2
The following programs attempt to communicate through the firewall and may
cause a firewall pop-up window requesting whether their communication should
be allowed through. These programs should be unblocked as a response to this
dialog and from then on will be allowed through the Microsoft firewall. The
known programs include: rtprvu.exe, rtpsvc.exe, rtprvd.exe,
rtasrv.exe, rtpsrv.exe, rtmanager.exe, rtrobo.exe,
and rtstsee.exe.

If you have installed Sybase SQL Anywhere 5.5 from Sybase and also from any of these IBM Rational products: IBM Rational ClearQuest, TestFactory, Robot, ProjectConsole, TestManager or TestManager Agent, you might experience a DLL conflict error. IBM recommends that you upgrade to Sybase SQL Anywhere 5.5.05, 8.0.1 or 8.0.2 database. For more information, contact Rational Customer Support.
MDAC 2.7 is not supported on systems running Microsoft SQL Server in a clustered environment.
Version 2003.06.13 or greater of Rational ClearQuest and TestManager provide the Crystal Report V10 files needed to run and view reports with ClearQuest Windows, New ClearQuest Web client, and TestManager. ClearQuest Windows and TestManager install the files automatically. A separate version of Crystal Enterprise Embedded Edition that you can install is provided for use with the ClearQuest Web client. To install the Crystal Embedded edition, see the "IBM Rational New ClearQuest Web Installation Guide."
However, to author and edit reports, it is necessary to purchase a copy of Crystal Reports Professional edition or other Crystal Editions that contain Crystal Designer, version 10.0. To acquire a copy of Crystal Reports Professional Edition, contact Business Objects at http://www.businessobjects.com.

On page 62 of the "Rational Suite Tutorial" version 2003.06.00, for the exercise "Start Rose," you do not need to complete Step 3. In version 2003 of Rational Rose, CURDIR=& is already defined. Continue with Step 4. |
| Install | RATLC00008162/ No APAR | Users should not install their software to a network location under Windows 9.x. Sometimes the installation needs to restart in order to install files that have been locked by the OS during installation. Restarting the installation frees these files so that they can be replaced before they become locked again. Installing to a network location causes problems because the network connections are not ready when this replacement happens. As a result, the OS cannot replace the files and the old files remain. This will cause problems with the installed image. |

| Licensing | RATLC00457793/ No APAR | The
version
2003.06.13
Rational License Server is based on FLEXlm version 9.2. This upgrade
resolves several customer reported defects at the FLEXlm level. You can use
this version of the Rational License Server to service Rational products at
earlier release levels. If you are upgrading the UNIX version of the Rational license server, log into the Rational Download and Licensing Center at https://www6.software.ibm.com/reg/rational/rational-i. For installation instructions, see "New download location for Rational UNIX license server" When you upgrade the license server, you must restart it. To restart the license server:

If the table size is not set to 32K or larger, you cannot create sample schema repositories in the ClearQuest Maintenance Tool. For the Defect Tracking, AnalystStudio and UCM sample schemas, you can use the default table size and buffer pools. |
| ClearQuest | RATLC00729267/ No APAR | Crystal Enterprise Embedded Edition is included with Rational ClearQuest and Rational Suite. CEEE can be installed from a separate CD included with IBM Rational ClearQuest and Suite. CEEE can also be downloaded from either the IBM Rational Download Center or Passport Advantage Web site. CEEE is a selectable downloadable option under version 2003.06.13. There may be more information available in the IBM Rational ClearQuest release notes. |
| Rational Web Platform | RATLC00726460/ No APAR |
Certain Rational Web Platform files differ in a
version
2003.06.13 installation,
depending upon whether the installation was a result of an upgrade from an
earlier version, or a new installation.
In the case of a new IBM Rational Suite Enterprise installation with Web Server feature selected, the common/rwp/conf/include/ccweb.conf file will have unsubstituted _CC_HOME_ placeholders. Users must manually replace all occurrences of _CC_HOME_ with the actual physical path of ClearCase installation, for example: C:/Program Files/Rational/ClearCase. |

| Product | RATLC ID/APAR | Description |
| Install | RATLC00730888/ No APAR | Version
2003.06.14 service release does not support mixed media installation on a
system. If different types of media are used to install different IBM
Rational products on a system, the version 2003.06.14 service release will fail.
For example, if Product A was installed from an IBM Rational product installation CD-Rom and Product B was installed from the IBM Rational Download and Licensing Center, a media block message will appear when you attempt to apply this service release. And you will not be able to apply this service release. Workaround: |
| Install | RATLC00730675/ No APAR | Applying a patch to a
Release Area is accomplished by executing the following command line at a
command prompt:
msiexec /p <full-path-to-.msp-file> /a <full-path-to-product-.msi-file> When applying a patch to a Release Area on a Japanese system, the following parameter must be added to display the user interface in Japanese: msiexec /p <full-path-to-.msp-file> /a <full-path-to-product-.msi-file> TRANSFORMS=:XForm1041 The "TRANSFORMS=:XForm1041" portion of the command line must be specified exactly as it appears above. |
| Licensing/FLEXlm | RATLC00732323/No APAR | After importing floating, temporary license keys into the version 2003.06.13 license server on Microsoft Windows,
the License Key Administrator displays one of the following errors and the license server is unable to serve license
keys:
"No license features were found on server <server_hostname>. FLEXlm error: -15; cannot connect to license server" "Cannot read data from license server" "FLEXlm error: -16; tcp_s is bad" This issue occurs only when the user is importing floating, temporary keys on a license server which is operating on port 27000, and is not serving any permanent license keys. For a workaround and more information, see IBM Support Technote 1182047. Go to www-1.ibm.com/support/us/search/index.html and search for 1182047. |
| Install | RATLC00732223/ No APAR | You can apply IBM Rational service release version 2003.06.14 to an existing
release area only if version 2003.06.13 is already installed in that release
area.
Administrators: Apply this service release to a version 2003.06.13 release area by following the instructions in "Applying this service release to a release area." |
| Install | RATLC00722240/ No APAR, RATLC00732713/ No APAR | The Site Preparation
Tool is used to configure ClearQuest, either during a custom desktop
install, or standalone to create a site default configuration.
One configuration page prompts the user for a "Default Connection Profile".
The format of this profile file was changed in version 2003.06.13, and profiles from
earlier versions of ClearQuest will not work correctly with version 2003.06.13 or later.
In version 2003.06.14, the verification to make sure the file format is correct and current is performed later in the installation, by ClearQuest. |
| Install | RATLC00462266/ APAR IC43112 | After installing IBM
Rational products, when a user selects an installed IBM Rational product from Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs,
and then selects "Click here for support information," the available links

Silent upgrades are
only supported by first applying the upgrade patch (non-silently) to your
release area. You may then silently upgrade your desktops from the patched
release area using the command "Setup.exe /g".
Additionally, ensure that you upgrade your release area using the correct media-type upgrade version as the original IBM Rational product installation (media-types include CD-ROM or Web download). For more information, see the Installation Issues. |

You can apply IBM Rational service release version 2003.06.14 to a desktop system
only if version 2003.06.13 is already installed on that system.
Apply this service release to a desktop system with version 2003.06.13 by following the instructions in "Applying this service release to a desktop system." |
| Install | RATLC00461775/ No APAR | IBM Rational product
service releases must be applied using the same media-type and installation
source as the original IBM Rational product installation.
The "media-type" refers to a CD-ROM or Download media. If the original installation was done from a CD-ROM or release area created from a CD-ROM, use the CD-ROM media for your upgrade. If you installed your IBM Rational product from a release area, apply the service release to the release area first, then upgrade your desktop from the upgraded release area. |
| Install | RATLC00732930/ No APAR | Attempting to apply a patch "silently" (using the /qn option) to a desktop that was originally installed from CD-ROM is an unsupported method because the patch installation prompts for the version 2003.06.13 Disk 1 (and possibly Disk 2). However, because the program is running "silently," it cannot display the prompt and the installation terminates. Applying a patch to a desktop from a patched release area is the appropriate use of silent install in an "enterprise" environment. See the instructions in "Applying this service release to a desktop system." |
| Install | RATLC00735046/ No APAR | If Microsoft Project
and a version of ClearQuest earlier than version 2003.06.14 are installed on
your computer, and you install ClearQuest version 2003.06.14, there is a
chance that the DLL for the Project Tracker integration did not register. If
you do not see the ClearQuest menu option under Tools after you start
Microsoft Project, you need to register the DLL manually by performing these
steps:

Service release version 2003.06.15 contains product fixes and new features for some IBM Rational products. This release will update the following IBM Rational Suite products to version 2003.06.15:
Note: For more information on which tools are typically included with each edition of IBM Rational Suite, see the IBM Rational Suite release notes.
For information about:
This IBM Rational service release includes important product fixes, and may include new features. It is developed for a specific product version and does not affect the licensing of your products. Because there is no effect on licensing, the service release does not allow you to configure licensing while you apply it to the software. You will, however, be asked to accept the service release license agreement before installation.
With this service release, you can update selected IBM Rational components on your system. You do not have to find and select product-specific service releases. Because a service release is cumulative, you can apply the latest service release without applying earlier service releases. After you apply a service release, you may see new shortcuts or files. The service release updates the IBM Rational product's version number; for example, from 2003.06.00 to 2003.06.15. You can see the change in the "About <Rational Product> " dialog box accessible from the product's Help menu, or in the "Rational Installed Product Information" dialog box, which can be accessed from the Start menu.

Access to the executable of this service release is available from http://www.ibm.com/software/rational/support/upgrades/. Download the file by saving it to your hard disk instead of opening it directly from the Web site.
The IBM Rational Download and Licensing Center (http://www.rational.com/support/downloadcenter/index.jsp) has two versions of the patch. You must install the version that corresponds with how you installed version 2003.06.13. For example, if you installed version 2003.06.13 using a CD-ROM, use the patch designated for CD-ROM media. If you installed version 2003.06.13 by download, use the patch designated for downloads. For more information about upgrade configurations, read about upgrades and service release installations.
For information on upgrading ClearQuest, see the IBM Rational
ClearQuest Documentation Supplement, version
2003.06.15.
For installation information, see the installation guides for IBM Rational
software desktop and server products.
If you have applied any hot fixes to ClearQuest version 2003.06.14, IBM Rational recommends that you uninstall that version before installing version 2003.06.15. For updates to any ClearQuest install issues, see the IBM Rationl Support home page for ClearQuest.
If you previously installed the XDE Floating License Enablement Kit, ignore this section. License enablement of your XDE products is unaffected by this service release.
This service release enables you to manage version 2003 IBM Rational XDE product use of floating license keys.
To enable XDE license enforcement:
After you configure XDE to use license keys:
When license enforcement has been activated, XDE behaves as follows:
A valid XDE license key is required throughout the duration of any XDE session, which is initiated when a model is opened and terminated when all models are closed. When the session begins, an attempt is made to check out a license key from the license server. If a license is available, XDE checks out the key for the duration of your session. If no XDE license keys are available on the server, a warning message is displayed informing you that you do not have a valid key. XDE continues to operate, and you continue to see this message while using XDE until a valid license key is acquired.
