Error description
Rational Developer for System z 9.0.1 - When starting RDz client with new workspace, expected push-to-client preferences are not downloaded. The RDz client may incorrectly interpret host configuration settings when there are extraneous white-space characters embedded in the settings file. One example is the pushtoclient.properties setting primary.system=true being interpreted as false when a trailing whitespace character causes the client to incorrectly conclude that the setting is not equal to "true". As a result, when an RDz user starts the client with a new workspace and connects to the appropriate host, some saved configuration/preferences are not downloaded to the client.
Local fix
Space/x'20' character is imbedded in active pushtoclient.properties file. Remove these "white space" character(s) from pushtoclient.properties file.
Problem summary
The RDz client may incorrectly interpret host configuration settings when there are extraneous whitespace characters embedded in the settings file. One example is the pushtoclient.properties setting primary.system=true being interpreted as false when a trailing whitespace character causes the client to incorrectly conclude that the setting is not equal to "true". As a result, when an RDz user starts the client with a new workspace and connects to the appropriate host, some saved configuration/preferences are not downloaded to the client.
Problem conclusion
The code which interprets the pushtoclient.properties file has been modified to trim any whitespace characters before testing the setting's value. The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with IBM Rational Developer for System z V9.0.1.3 Fix Pack which is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2294&uid=swg27006335
