IBM Rational DOORS Next Generation 6.0.2 iFix004 graphical tool issue

Troubleshooting


Problem

Issue with the DOORS Next Generation (RDNG) graphical artifact browser add-on plugin in 6.0.2 iFix004, 5.0.2 iFix018, and 4.0.7 iFix011.

Symptom

Unable to edit graphical artifacts created using the Java plugin-based graphical editor.

This issue affects customers using 6.0.2 iFix004 and later 6.0.2 iFixes, as well as 5.0.2 iFix018 and 4.0.7 iFix011 and later corresponding iFixes.


Note: iFixes for all CLM products are cumulative so each iFix contains all the fixes included in previous iFixes for that version.

Cause

A security related issue was resolved in 6.0.2 iFix004, 5.0.2 iFix018 and 4.0.7 iFix011 (see the security bulletin link below). A side effect of fixing this security issue is that the Java plugin-based graphical editor has been affected such that it is no longer possible to edit graphical artifacts created using this tool.

Resolving The Problem

Recommended Actions


If a graphical artifact is required to be edited, the workaround is to recreate the artifact using the new diagram artifact type and editor. Alternatively, 6.0.2 iFix003 does not have this issue. Please contact IBM Support for further details
