The following items are known issues in Requirements Gateway 2012 sorted by Date.
| ID | Known Issue | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 127371 Return | The Application stay on top option applies only to the main window If you enable the Application stay on top option on the General tab of the Options pane of the Configuration dialog box, the main window always remains in front of other application windows, such as the Configuration dialog box. This can cause other application windows to appear hidden if the main window completely obscures them. Workaround: N/A
| |||||
| 127911 Return | Selecting a MATRIXx catalog does not cause MatrixX to become the active application if the catalog is already loaded When you navigate from Requirements Gateway to MATRIXx and the selected MATRIXx catalog is already loaded, MATRIXx does not become the active application. If a dialog box launches when you attempt to navigate, Requirements Gateway appears to hang because the dialog box might appear below the Requirements Gateway window. Workaround: N/A
| |||||
| 128219 Return | Requirements Gateway might crash on exit after exporting documents to IBM Rational RequisitePro When you attempt to export a document to IBM Rational RequisitePro and the document contains an attribute with a name that matches any multi-selection attributes that RequisitePro predefines, Requirements Gateway returns an error that indicates that the property must be set from the ListItemValue object text. If you exit Requirements Gateway after this operation, Requirements Gateway crashes on exit. Workaround: N/A
| |||||
| 128563 Return | Expressions pane does not support multi-line strings When you use the Expressions pane of the Configuration dialog box to test regular expressions, neither the Expressions pane nor the tooltip display results with multiple lines. Workaround: N/A
| |||||
| 136142 Return | The Large Code type does not recognize new files automatically in some cases If you use the Large Code type to analyze a directory on a disk that is formatted using the 32-bit file allocation table (FAT32) method the Large Code type does not recognize when new files are added to the target directory, requiring you to reanalyze the document manually. This behavior occurs because the directory date does not change on FAT32 formatted disks when new files are added, and the type uses this information to determine when reanalysis is required. Workaround: N/A
| |||||
| 136307 Return | The Microsoft Word types do not support images with JPEG format If you specify a document of the Word type and the Word project document source file contains JPEG images, Requirements Gateway does not recognize the images and does not display the image previews in the main window. Workaround: Use an alternate format for images, such as PNG.
| |||||
| 137490 Return | RequisitePro can return an error on exit when launched from Requirements Gateway If you launch IBM Rational RequisitePro from Requirements Gateway by double-clicking a folder under a RequisitePro document in the main window, RequisitePro returns an error on exit that indicates that the selectExplorerKey collection is empty. Workaround: N/A
| |||||
| 48529 3T5GJTG0 Return | Requirements Gateway can navigate to incorrect text when browsing to an element When you browse to an element in a Microsoft Word document and the Word document contains text for a requirement or section element that appears more than once, Requirements Gateway navigates to the first instance of the text, even if the next instance of the text represents the actual requirement or section. Workaround: N/A
| |||||
| 48647 3UGF2NG0 Return | A Link element in a Critical Failure Stack section of a TestStand XML Reports document can navigate to the incorrect step result When you navigate from a Link element in a Critical Failure Stack section of a TestStand XML Reports document that contains more than one UUT report, Requirements Gateway might navigate to a step result in a different report. This occurs because the result ID that Requirements Gateway uses is not unique between different reports. Workaround: N/A
| |||||
| 48857 3W7CQR00 Return | An overwrite occurs when snapshots have identical timestamps If you create a snapshot with the same timestamp as an existing snapshot, the new snapshot replaces the existing snapshot. Because the timestamp resolution is one minute, this can occur with snapshots taken within the same minute. Workaround: Before taking a snapshot, ensure that the latest existing snapshot timestamp does not match the current time.
| |||||
| 136499 Return | Project passwords are limited to eight characters You can specify a project password that exceeds eight characters, but Requirements Gateway uses only the first eight characters as the stored password. Workaround: N/A
| |||||
| 297275 Return | Requirements Gateway crashes when you generate a report that contains a Generation structure with a name that matches the name of the report If a custom report contains a Generation structure with a name that matches the name of the report, Requirements Gateway crashes when you attempt to generate the report. Workaround: N/A
| |||||
| 312916 Return | PDF reports do not support multi-byte characters If a project contains multi-byte characters, the characters do not display correctly in any reports you save in the PDF format. Workaround: Use an alternate report format, such as HTML or RTF.
| |||||
| 345381 Return | Multi-byte characters in a requirement element name you create on the Types pane might break the hierarchy of requirements When you edit the definition of a requirement element on the Types pane of the Configuration dialog box and you use multi-byte characters, such as Chinese, any child requirements definitions move to the top level of the requirement hierarchy after you save the type and and edit it again. Workaround: N/A
