| TP-73105 |
You cannot shell share Rational Functional Tester V10.1.3 with any versions of Rational Application Developer or Rational Software Architect at this moment.
If shell sharing Rational Functional Tester with Rational Application Developer or Rational Software Architect is essential, then you must use Rational Functional Tester V10.1.2 with Rational Application Developer V9.7.02 or Rational Software Architect V9.7.0.2 until future versions of Rational Application Developer or Rational Software Architect is released. |
| TP-74269 | After you installed Rational® Functional Tester V10.1.3, at any point in time if you want to use earlier versions of the product, you cannot roll back to the previous version of the product. You must uninstall Rational® Functional Tester V10.1.3, and then install the required version of the product. |
| TP-72726 | When you use a calendar dialog box to select a value in an SAP transaction session and record the SAP test in your product, the Test Generation page and the Error Log page display a warning message. The warning message states that the SAP calendar object has an unpredictable behavior when you play back the test and you must set the date in the value fields by using the string format. Therefore, when you select the Hide GUI during execution option from the SAP Options tab in the Test Details section to play back the SAP test, the product is unable to create a calendar object. Hence the test run fails. To work around this problem, you must perform the following steps: 1. Open the SAP test.
2. Perform the following actions to set the calendar date in a text format:
a. Expand an SAP transaction, and then expand the test element (For example, IDoc List/WE05) that has the calendar control data.b. Select Set focus on <date>. c. Right-click the date from SAP Protocol Data, and then click Create Element. The Create Element page is displayed. d. Select Set text, and then enter the date in the Input value text field. e. Click Finish. 3. Right-click the calendar control (For example, Calendar/WE05), and then click Disable to disable the test elements that have the calendar control. 4. Save the changes, and then run the test. |
