Error description
Popup warnings like: 'The license key for this product will expire in...' breaks automatic script. It happens at the end of the year within 2 weeks of the license expiration date. The IBM Rational License Key Administrator has a setting to 'Display Expiration Warnings' Deselecting that setting should disable the license popup warning, but it does NOT work to stop the popup warning. However, it is not limited to just popup warnings for the licenses. Any popup warning causes the automatic script to break. In general, any popup windows while using Rational Software Architect (RSA) in silent mode breaks the automatic script. For example: doing automatic builds using a script. This issue is important when using RSA in silent mode. That means not starting the RSA GUI, but instead using a script to use RSA. This is important for automatic script use.

**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Popup warnings like: "The license key for this product will expire in..." breaks automatic script. It happens at the end of the year within 2 weeks of the license expiration date.
Problem conclusion
The license checking plugin tries to display warning messages as dialogs. This breaks command line build when DISPLAY environment variable is not set on linux. Modified this behavior to just log warnings and not display dialogs. Errors would still behave the same way
