Announcements, Changes and Known Issues

This section describes important Announcement, Changes and Known Issues for Rose Windows v7.0.0.4 IFIX 01. 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 IFIX 01 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&conte xt=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-d3f54365-8070-334cd175d4bb&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:

o

Rose Apex Add-In is not supported on Vista, as Rational Apex is not available for Vista.

o

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.

o

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 IFIX 01: 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.
