Defect ID Description

80464

Defect ID	Description
80464	Unable to update an older version of the Engineering Publishing client to Engineering Publishing 7.0.3 using the Installation Manager First occurrence: 7.0.3 Problem: You are not able to use the update functions in the Installation Manager to update an older version of the Engineering Publishing client to Engineering Publishing 7.0.3 due to the IES version upgrade. Workaround: You can uninstall the older version of the PUB client from Installation Manager and install PUB 7.0.3 as a fresh installation.
80434	When Publishing Document Builder is configured with Jazz® Team Server authentication, the behavior of Engineering Test Management and Engineering Workflow Management is different from Engineering Requirements Management DOORS® Next (DOORS Next) and Global Configuration Management (GCM) First occurrence: 7.0.3 Problem: If the Publishing Document Builder is configured with Jazz Team Server authentication, the data source URLs use credentials or cookies from the session. Hence, if the username and password are not provided in the connection, the document is generated successfully. However, the behavior of Engineering Test Management and Engineering Workflow Management is different from DOORS Next and GCM: For DOORS Next and GCM, the delegated resource selection dialog is directly opened. No authentication is required. For Engineering Workflow Management and Engineering Test Management, instead of a delegated picker dialog, a link to "Log-in" is displayed. When you click the login link, a separate browser page opens for Jazz Team Server authentication. Workaround: Open Publishing Document Builder. Ensure that the Publishing Document Builder is configured with Jazz Team Server authentication. Add the connection. Select the URL of the data source. Select common providers and click Go. Enter the username and password before you select the resource in the picker.
76143	Engineering Publishing 7.0.3 is unable to access the data sources of Engineering Lifecycle Management 7.0.2 First occurrence: 7.0.3 Problem: When a user tries to generate a document with Engineering Publishing 7.0.3 using data sources from the Engineering Lifecycle Management 7.0.2 applications, the document generation fails due to the TLS version mismatch. Workaround: Go to the Engineering Publishing installation path (%rpe_home%). Open the rpe-studio.ini file in the studio folder and add the following flag to the file: `com.ibm.engineering.pub.strictTLSversion="TLSv1.2”` Open the rpe-launcher.ini file in the launcher folder and add the following flag to the file: `com.ibm.engineering.pub.strictTLSversion="TLSv1.2”` Save the file.
