Announcements, Changes and Known Issues
This section describes important Announcement, Changes and Known Issues for Rose Windows v7.0.0.4.
Note: This Fix Pack includes updates from previous Fix Packs and iFixes.
Changes and Known Issues
Rational License Server
You must upgrade Rational License Server(s) to at least v7.0 to enable support for Rational Rose 7.0.0.4
Added support for IPv6
Rational Rose Windows supports IPv6.
Rational License Server v7.0.1 or greater is required.
Limitation: Rose Data Modeler’s forward / reverse engineering to / from DDL functions normally in IPv6. However, integration with databases supported by Rose is limited by IPv6 support for the database when running Rose on IPv6.
Rational Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC) Support
Please refer to the following link for FDCC Support information - http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=999&context=SSSHEM&context=SSCSP7T&context=SSSTY3&context=SSCSNZN&context=SSSTWP&q1=FDCC&uid=swg21298277&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=en
Hosted Development Systems - Rose supports hosted development on these platforms:
Citrix
Windows Terminal Server for Windows 2000
Windows Server 2003
Support for Windows Server 2003
Rational Rose supports Windows Server 2003.
Support for Microsoft Vista
Rational Rose supports Microsoft Vista.
Known Issues when running Rose on Vista
Must install Microsoft winhelp32.exe to view Rose Help:
The Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe) is not available in Vista.
However, it is available for download from Microsoft at:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=6ebcfad9-d3f5-4365-8070-334cd175d4bb&displaylang=en
Download this and install as a pre-requisite to run Rose Help
RATLC01188293 – It may be possible to select Rose Visual Basic or Rose Apex Add-In’s in the Add-In Manager even though neither Visual Studio nor Rational Apex installed.
Rose Add-In information for Vista:
Rose Apex Add-In is not supported on Vista, as Rational Apex is not available for Vista.
Rose Data Modeler: Oracle 9i is not supported on Vista and Rose does not formally support Oracle 10g.
Workaround: To work with Oracle database, install Oracle 10g client on Vista machine and Oracle 9i server on any other Windows XP machine. You may then forward and reverse engineer using the Oracle database.
Rose Data Modeler: Unable to install DB2 7.0 on Vista, therefore Rose Data Modeler does not support DB2 7.0 on Vista.
General Known Issues
IC48750; RATLC00542317 – Enumerations are available in all JDK frameworks
Rational Rose provides limited support for JDK 1.5. In relation to JDK 1.5 enumerations, Rose allows classes to be stereotyped with the “Enum” stereotype. Then, during code generation the class is generated as a Java enumeration. Although this stereotype is applicable only for Java 1.5 classes, it may be applied to any other class contained in any of the Framework models
IC48425; RATLC00385579 – Attempting to delete EJB name will append additional characters.
To reproduce:
Select Tools > Java/J2EE > New EJB
Choose all defaults, name it ‘TestEJB’ and click OK.
In the tree browser, right click the EJB > Java/J2EE > Open EJB Specification
In the Bean Name field, put the cursor between J and B in ‘TestEJB’, and click Delete (keyboard) several times
The name will grow: ‘TestEJJBJBJBJBJBJBEJB”
Rational Rose is designed to append a suffix (“EJB” by default) to bean name.
If the bean is named “foo”, then Rose appends the suffix string “EJB” causing the full name to appear as “fooEJB”.
Whenever Rose finds that the default suffix does not exist, it appends it.
If the bean name is named “fooEJB”, and you place the cursor between E and J and press the Delete key, J will be deleted causing the name to be fooEB. As the suffix (“EJB”) no longer exists, “EJB” is appended to create the full name “fooEBEJB”.
The following fix is not available in Japanese Rose Windows v7.0.0.4:
PK59348; RATLC00150946 - A parser error may occur when attempting to reverse engineer an unsafe typecast.
RATLC01358889 - When reverse engineering (Java) the following error message may occur when running English Rose on Japanese Windows operating system:
Invalid Index on Element From Production
PK20590; RATLC00483486 - Rose REI Diagram.GetSelectedItems Method returns Items vs. ItemViews
Workaround: Iterate through each RoseItemView on the diagram to check if it is selected. If this workaround is not feasible,
please contact Rational Technical Support.
RATLC01368958 – Attempting to use the ANSI Converter to convert a Rose C++ class to an ANSI C++ class, may display a blank dialog.
Note: If you encounter any issues in relation to the Known Issues, listed above, please contact Rational Technical Support.
Restrictions and guidelines (Rose Windows, only)
This section describes noteworthy restrictions and guidelines that affect the use of IBM Rational Rose. These are not considered defects because the behavior is not expected to change in a future release.
IMPORTANT NOTICE!! Microsoft Windows 2000 NTFS “Change Journal” defect can cause file system corruption during installation of Rational products
Under certain circumstances, file system corruption can result from installing Rational Version 2003 and 7 products on Windows 2000 to an NTFS partition that has enabled the Windows “Change Journal” (log). This corruption is caused by a defect in Windows 2000. Before you install any Rational Version 2003 or 7 product on a computer that is running Windows 2000:
Disable all virus detection software
