Review the following list of known issues. |

Known issues in this release include:
New to this release | |
TP-59943 | If you configure Keycloak to use an LDAP directory service, you should import and synchronize LDAP users to Keycloak. This is a known issue with Keycloak: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/KEYCLOAK-13822 To workaround the problem in Keycloak, on the Add user federation provider page make sure the following settings are set as shown: Import Users = ON, Sync Registrations = ON, and Cache Policy = DEFAULT |
TP-66941 | Static agents are not supported. |
TP-67215 | When you configure Rational Test Automation Server test on the UCD server and you enter a value for any of the options available for Show Hidden Properties in the Edit Properties for Run Rational Test Automation Server test window, the values for the options do not work as designed during the test run. To work around this problem, you must not set any values for any options for Show Hidden Properties. |
TP-64528 (APAR PH22860) |
When you ran either a Rate or a VU Schedule on Rational Test Automation Server and selected a disconnected agent or multiple agents to run on, the run failed and displayed an Error 500 but the execution job stayed in the In Transition state.
|
Previous known issues that still apply | |
TP-60737 | Git repositories that contain projects at the root level and not under a subdirectory are not supported and will not work currently with Rational Test Automation Server. |
TP-62379 | If you (as a user) request to join an orphaned project, a 404 not found error results. To workaround this problem, ask your administrator to become the project owner, then request to join that project again. |
TP-61311 | When you archive a project that has a running test, that test is not stopped. The test completes execution even though it was suppose to stop. |
TP-61494 | If you unarchive a project that was archived while a test was running, the UI incorrectly shows that the test is still running after the unarchive. To workaround this problem, make s.ure there are no tests running when you archive a project. |
TP-61446 | When you unregister a remote docker agent, running and schedule tests are not canceled. To workaround this problem, stop any running tests and cancel any scheduled future executions for that agent before unregistering the remote docker agent. |
TP-60059 | When you schedule a test run and click the "Time" field a list of times displays. If you enter a value in the "Time" field, you cannot move the cursor by using the left or right (<- , -> ) keyboard keys. This is a known issue with the following date picker: https://github.com/Hacker0x01/react-datepicker/issues/1834 To workaround this problem, use the cursor. |
TP-59943 | If you configure Keycloak to use an LDAP directory service, you should import and synchronize LDAP users to Keycloak. This is a known issue with Keycloak: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/KEYCLOAK-11191 To workaround the problem in Keycloak, on the Add user federation provider page make sure the following settings are set as shown: Import Users = ON, Sync Registrations = ON, and Cache Policy = DEFAULT |
TP-58017 | In case of a slow network, the cloning of a repository might fail with an error. In such a case, you can delete and add the repository again. |
TP-58104 | When monitoring a test execution with the Statistical report, data might stop updating after about an hour. To get updated data, reload the page in your browser. |
TP-58061 | A server shutdown will not stop currently running executions. It is recommended to not shutdown the server if there are active executions running. If the server is shut down while assets are executing the reported status of those executions might be incorrect. |
TP-58017 | In case of a slow network, the cloning of a repository might fail with an error. In such a case, you can delete and add the repository again. |
TP-57198 |
When working in multiple Rational Test Automation Server tabs concurrently, a message “You are already logged in” might sometimes be displayed. This message occurs when your session has expired and you have since logged in again, but then attempt a navigation action in a browser tab other than the one in which you logged in. This is a known Keycloak issue. For more information, see https://issues.jboss.org/browse/KEYCLOAK-5179. To workaround this problem, close the tab and open a new one. |
TP-56453 | After about 20 minutes of an inactive browser session for Rational Test Automation Server, if you attempt to use the existing browser session, you must authenticate again by providing your username and password. When you do so, the message "You took too long to log in. Try again.“ is displayed and you must enter your credentials again. |
Rational Performance Tester Agent |
With 10.0, you might expect a reduction in the number of Virtual Users (VUs) supported by IBM Rational Performance Tester Agent depending upon workload characteristics. This variation is the result of the product shipping with OpenJDK™ 8 with OpenJ9 instead of IBM JRE. OpenJDK 8 with OpenJ9 JRE exhibits a higher utilization of CPU for the workload. Up to 30% or more decrease in the supported VUs capacity may be expected for CPU-bound workloads. However, for memory-bound workloads, a much smaller, if any reduction in VUs capacity may be expected. If you need higher performance and have access to IBM JRE 8.0.5.35 or later that contains the latest security fixes, you can switch from OpenJDK 8 with OpenJ9 to IBM JRE. For more information, see http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=ibm10956413. |
