This interim fix includes the following fixes, all of which are associated with APAR JR26169.
When testing the connection to a Crystal Reports server from the Preferences page, it might take several minutes for the connection test to complete.
When creating a new Crystal Reports report template using Detailed Process Data Source as the data source, you might experience a significant delay when selecting fields to display in the report template. On the Select Fields page of the Report template wizard, if you select all available fields using the >> button, it will take several minutes for the Fields to Display list to populate.
To avoid this delay, consider individually selecting fields that you want to display using the > button instead of selecting all the available fields at once using the >> button.
If you delete a Crystal Reports report template from the project tree while the report template is open in the Report Designer, the deletion will not complete. Even though the report template will not appear in the project tree, the associated files will not be deleted and you will not be able to create a new report template with the same name as the deleted report template.
To avoid this situation, close the Report Designer before deleting a Crystal Reports report template.
Modeler now allows you to maintain swimlane order during auto-layout. The behavior is enabled through the ordering dialog, available through the context menu of an open process diagram. Previously, the OK button would only be enabled if you changed the order; now it is enabled when the state of the auto-layout button changes.
You can now manually sort items within the Project Tree view, for example, to reflect frequency of use or relative importance of items within a catalog.
By default, items in the Project Tree view are sorted alphabetically within a container or catalog. When this default mode is enabled, the sort button in the Project Tree toolbar is pressed.
To enable manual sorting, click the sort button in the Project Tree toolbar to deselect it. The default order of items will change to chronological ordering, with most recently created items appearing last in a given container. To change the order of items within a container, select the item and drag it to the desired position within that container.
To move an item to a different container, for example to move a business item from one data catalog to another data catalog, first drop the item onto the catalog or logical node where you want it to be. The item will appear last in the new container. Then drag and drop the item to the desired position within the container.
There is a fixed order for item types within a catalog. For example, within the Process catalog, processes always come before tasks. Even if the logical nodes are not visible, you cannot change the order of these item types. For example, within the process catalog, even if you cannot see the separate containers for processes and tasks, you will not be able to reorder a task before a process.
The sorting mode and order of items is maintained when the product is restarted, and when catalogs are imported and exported. However, the ordering of items is not maintained when using project versioning. A catalog that is checked in and out again will revert to default alphabetical ordering.
As an option in the Project Tree view, you can choose whether the navigation view selection is linked to the active editor. This means that when you are editing an item in an editor, that item is highlighted in the Project Tree. This is enabled by clicking the link-to-editor button in the Project Tree toolbar. Starting with this interim fix, the state of the link-to-editor button is maintained when you shut down and restart the product.
In a process diagram, you can now show or hide repository connections. To show or hide the connections, right-click the diagram and select Show > Repository Connections. This feature is particularly useful in the FileNet Business Process Management mode because of the recommended pattern of using repositories to pass data.
The alignment fix, provided through the fix for JR26657, requires that the user multi-select the text elements that should be vertically aligned, perform one of the align actions, for example, Align top via the toolbar button, and save the template.
The current fix is only available if elements are specified with Arial or Times New Roman fonts. Future updates to this component will give consideration to all supported fonts.
If you are checking out projects from a CVS repository and your environment is configured with pserver or extssh (ssh2 only), you can attempt to alleviate failing check-outs due to connection errors by increasing the Communication timeout preference. To increase the Communication timeout, navigate to Windows > Preferences > Team > CVS, and increase the value of Communication timeout.
If you are checking out projects from a CVS repository and your environment is configured with pserver or ext or extssh (ssh1 only), a complimentary fix which will be delivered as 6.0.2.1-WB-ModelerAdvModelerBas-IFJR26345, will surface additional parameters to allow user-defined timeout values.
As of this interim fix, before showing the lock/unlock dialog, the Clearcase repository is queried for the lock status of the element being locked or unlocked. Based on the results returned the following actions are taken:
In all cases the OK and Cancel buttons are enabled, however if neither of the radio buttons can be selected, clicking either the OK or Cancel button will effectively cancel the operation.
This support pack provides the FileNet Business Process Management mode and the FileNet Business Process Management export, both of which enable you to model processes that you can open with FileNet P8 Process Designer. For information on the SupportPac, refer to the BA77.pdf file included in the SupportPac ZIP file.
The fix for the problem where the product hangs when switching to swimlane view by roles, allows the user to open the swimlane layout of the diagram. The problem was partly caused by references to roles that had been deleted. The swimlanes corresponding to the deleted roles remain. Both the swimlane and the elements it contains are decorated with errors. To remove the swimlane, the user should perform an auto-layout.
