Error description

  • Domain: Flex Documenation
    Link:
    pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/rfthelp/v8r2/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.i
    bm.rational.test.ft.doc%2Ftopics%2Ft_conf_non-enabled_flex.html
    
    
    Description:
    ------------
    The document help mentions that there are two different ways of
    configuring runtime loader
    
    However the section to configure runtime loader using user
    interface is not listed in the documentation
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • In the RFT help documentation for Flex configuration (
    pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/rfthelp/v8r2/
    index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.rational.
    test.ft.doc%2Ftopics%2Ft_conf_non-enabled_flex.html), 2 totally
    different operations are documented.
    
    1. Configuring Runtime loader manually
    This section explains how to compile RuntimeLoader.mxml into
    RuntimeLoader.swf and it generates Runtimeloader.html file
    
    2. Configuring the web application during run time with the user
    interface
    This will just create URL that RFT should use in order to test
    the .swf file created in step1.
    
    However because the document states "You can configure the
    Runtime loader either manually "OR" using the user interface."
    (note: OR above)
    
    and since it has 2 sections, one with "manually" in the title
    (configuring Runtime loader manually) and the other one "with
    the user interface" Customer can get confused as if this was
    instructing to configure the non-enabled Flex application in 2
    different ways (one with command line, one with GUI)
    

Problem conclusion

  • The documentation has been corrected to reflect both the methods
     of configuring Flex applications for RFT
