Prerequisites
IBM Rational DOORS Next Generation 5.0.2 must be installed to apply this iFix. Note: Before you install the server patch file, verify that no other test fixes are installed. If other fixes are installed, contact IBM Software Support. |
Installation Instructions
Review the installation instructions to apply the iFix on the server:
Tab navigation
- CLM Server Update- selected tab,
- DCC Server Update
- JRS Server Update
Note: Before you install this server patch file, verify that no other test fixes or hot fixes are installed. If other fixes are installed, contact IBM Software Support.
For a CLM deployment on a single server, complete the following steps once.
For a distributed CLM deployment, complete the same steps on each server.
Procedure to install the server patch:
- Stop the CLM server.
- Verify whether the following directory exists:
server_installation_directory/server/patch
. - If the directory exists, back up and remove its contents.
- If the directory does not exist, create it.
- Copy the server patch file into the
/server/patch
directory. - Start the server.
Note: For a distributed CLM deployment, complete the same steps on each server.
Procedure to uninstall the server patch:
- Stop the CLM server.
- Back up and remove the contents of the following directory:
server_installation_directory/server/patch
- Start the CLM server.
Note: For a distributed CLM deployment, complete the same steps on each server.
Procedure to install the Data Collection Component patch:
- Stop the DCC server.
- Verify whether the following directory exists: server_installation_directory/server/patch.
- If the directory exists, back up and remove its contents.
- If the directory does not exist, create it.

Procedure to install the patch with JRS deployed on Apache Tomcat server:
- Stop the JRS Tomcat server
- Copy the following file to a backup directory in the event you need to revert the patch:
- JRS_Install\server\tomcat\webapps\rs.war
- Delete the following file:

PI22400 | Fix defect in redirect web page. |
NOTE: If the context root used by the any application is not the default, it will be necessary to rename the WAR file (and adjust some of the directory paths referenced below) based on the context root currently in use. For example,
In summary, the name of the WAR file needs to be the same as the respective context root in use. NOTE: For users of the RDNG browser add-on, the rm.war file must be properly matched with the browser plugin files. This only applies during installation of the plugin, so for those users that have already installed the plugin, no action is required. For any new installations of the browser plugin, the customer should contact IBM Support and request a refresh of the browser add-on files along with the properly paired version of the rm.war file that includes this fix.

Known Side Effects
As a result of RDNG APAR PI28204 (Web client runs query for all artifacts when all filters are cleared, introducing unnecessary load on the server for large projects (92439)), the "Default View" behavior in the Grid View has now changed. Once all filters have been cleared in the Grid, a message will be displayed indicating, "To show artifacts, select a folder or other filter," and no artifacts will be displayed. This behavioral change required a new message to be displayed when the user hovers over the "eraser" button for the Filter by Folder section. When the browser locale is English, the hover text will display as, "Clear Folder Filters"; however, for all other browser locales, the hover text will continue to display the appropriate translation of the previous string, "Show Artifacts from All Folders", although the action of clicking the button will still be to return no artifacts. |
