1.0 Introduction

This readme file pertains to the online documentation provided with WebSphere Studio.

2.0 Known problems

2.1 Struts documentation updates

Getting Started Guide Struts sample

In the Getting Started Guide under "Loading the Struts Trade Sample," 4.0 should be changed to 5.0 and 8080 should be changed to 7080 in the following bullet item: Created a server project named Trade Server, which runs in the WebSphere version 4.0 test environment and listens on TCP/IP port number 8080.

2.2 Page Designer Classic and embedded graphics tools are not available for Linux

Page Designer Classic, along with the embedded graphics tools, WebArt Designer and AnimatedGif Designer, are not available in WebSphere Studio for Linux 5.0.x. Therefore, any inadvertant references to these tools in help files or F1 infopops should be disregarded.

2.3 Moving views when Motif is your window view system

If you are working with WebSphere Studio on Linux and your window view system is Motif, you must select a view with your middle mouse button in order to be able to move it around. Otherwise, if you have a two button mouse, you hold both buttons down when selecting a view if you want to move it.

2.4 Changes in instructions for the Hospital scenario

When you create the patient or insurance Web service, a warning may pop up that says that the Web service is not WS-I compliant. This warning can be ignored.

2.5 WSDL errors after importing a Web services file from 4.0.x

(This is a migration item.) If you have imported a Web services file from 4.0.x, you may receive the following error messages:

Error The part 'result' has an invalid value 'anyElement' defined for its type. Type declarations must refer to valid values defined in a schema.

Error The part 'return' has an invalid value 'findPatientResult' defined for its element. Element declarations must refer to valid values defined in a schema.

Error The part 'response' has an invalid value 'findPatientResponse' defined for its element. Element declarations must refer to valid values defined in a schema.

The workaround is:

  1. Delete the WSDL files.
  2. Regenerate your Web services by rerunning the Web Services wizard.

2.6 Using WebSphere Studio Version 5.1 with Version 5.0 workspace

When WebSphere Studio Version 5.1 is started for the first time using an existing WebSphere Studio Version 5.0 workspace a dialog box appears showing you one way to migrate from Version 5.0 to Version 5.1. Click OK to migrate the Version 5.0 workspace to Version 5.1, or click Cancel to stop WebSphere Studio from starting.

When the workspace is migrated to Version 5.1, you can still use the workspace with Version 5.0 as the metadata of the new project features of Version 5.1 are ignored and can be read by Version 5.0. You cannot make any changes in Version 5.0 to the projects in the workspace that would effect the metadata or overwrite the metadata of the new project feature of Version 5.1 projects.

For more information about the new project features in Version 5.1, refer to the WebSphere Studio Migration Guide.

2.7 Ignore the Embedded Messaging Client only has been installed message

Even though the messaging and queuing support was not installed, you may receive the "Embedded Messaging Client only has been installed" message upon starting the server. This message refers to the build-in client code for the MQ Simulator for Java Developers and not the messaging and queuing support code. The message can be safely ignored.

2.8 Changing default selections when using Update Manager

When using Update Manager to apply service, you may be prompted with an Optional Features dialog asking if you would like to update optional features. Do not modify the default selections. If you attempt to service a feature that is not already installed on your system, you will receive error messages.

2.9 Migration Guide updates

2.10 Alternate image text does not appear in documentation

The alternate image text for documentation images does not appear when you are viewing the documentation on Linux.

2.11 Ignore the "Uninstalling Rational ClearCase LT" section in the Installation Guide

Since the Rational ClearCase LT is not available in this product, you can safely ignore the "Uninstalling Rational ClearCase LT" section in the Installation Guide.

2.12 Canceling the installation program may take a while before the cancel takes affect

If during the installation of the product you press Cancel, the installation program may continue for a while before the cancel takes affect.

2.13 Command for uninstalling on Linux, AIX, Solaris, and HP-UX is incorrect

In the WebSphere Application Server - Express Installation Guide the instructions for uninstalling on Linux, AIX, Solaris, and HP-UX say to run the command: ./uninstall.sh. This command does not exist. The correct command to run is ./uninstaller.

2.14 Updates to the WebSphere Application Server - Express Installation guide

The following are updates to the WebSphere Application Server - Express installation guide:

2.15 Broken link to install.html

In 'Related Information', the install.html link is broken. However, this link is unnecessary since it refers to itself.

2.16 No support for a silent install from CD

WebSphere Application Server - Express does not support a silent install from a CD.

2.17 Update to the installation guide - modifying your installation

If you install WebSphere Studio, and then start the installation program again to install (or re-install) various componenent, and select to cancel the installation before it finishes, you may receive the following error:

"Errors occured during the installation - User cancelled installation".

When you attempt to uninstall the product, you may receve the following error:

"A suitable JVM could not be found. Please run the program again using the option -is:javahome <JAVA HOME DIR>.

To work around this, you must run the installation program again, then uninstall the product.

2.18 Security feature not available for Agent Controller on AIX

The log in security feature for Agent Controller is not available if you install Agent Controller on AIX.
