Helpful Hints For Obtaining Technical Assistance:
Before you contact IBM Rational Software Support, gather the background information that you need to describe the problem. When you describe a problem to an IBM software support specialist, be as specific as possible and include all relevant background information so that the specialist can help you solve the problem efficiently. To save time, know the answers to these questions:
- What software versions were you running when the problem occurred?
- Do you have logs, traces, or messages that are related to the problem?
- Can you reproduce the problem? If so, what steps do you take to reproduce it?
- Is there a workaround for the problem? If so, be prepared to describe the workaround.
If you have helpful information to diagnose or identify the problem on your system, you can provide this data by following the instructions to exchange information with IBM Technical Support.

| Host APARs | Description |
| PM78800 | Rational Developer for System z: Internal v8.5.1.1 defects/enhancements (NON-RSE): - FA integration is missing data for some of the events in the event summary - compatibility with z/OS UNIX APAR OA41101 - invalid SCLM Types returned in populate project request - when using the RDz CARMA Endevor RAM PRINT-MEMBER function, the dataset name is not copied into the JCL - when a Jobcard member is not found, an error is displayed when it should not since the jobcard is optional |
| PM78805 | Rational Developer for System z: Internal v8.5.1.1 defects/enhancements (OPENRSE): - NPE if rsecomm.log cannot be created - data set lock not released when client ends - backup file causes problem when parent folder is read-only - multiple RDz RSE servers get *timeout* status, which is never reset |
| PM79619 | Rational Developer for System z: When using the new CARMA Endevor "Quick Edit" feature on element, API0005E error is returned |
| PM80976 | Rational Developer for System z: Internal v8.5.1.1 defects/enhancements (RSE): - missing quotes in sample CGI_ISPPREF definition - RDz client cannot connect to SSL server using client certificate. - expanding a filter containing 40,000 datasets on RDz client takes more than 3 minutes - there is not enough trace to show why a new threadpool server is started - multiple RDz RSE servers get *timeout* status, which is never reset - search fails with error owing to dynamic allocation failure - when doing a Remote Search on MVS filters, customer sometimes gets good results but sometimes the search hangs with message "Searching MVS Files : Waiting for server response". However, the Remote Search always works well when done directly on the PDS inside the MVS Filter - the "...xx more" command at the top list of an RSE-filter with at least 2 filter strings does not display all the members - when doing a Remote Search on PDS, customer has good response time and correct results for about the 2/3 first searches. Then, for the next searches (always on PDSs), the CPU is getting higher (till 70-80%) and results get wrong (hits number decreases significantly for initial hits about 5000-6000, but for initial hits about 20, results remain OK). - enhancement to remove usage of volume RESERVE |
| PM81660 | Rational Developer for System z: CARMA user receives CRRZC0197E message when opening (browse/view) Endevor Element |
| PM82192 | Rational Developer for System z: RSE - Copying a PDS member provokes a Java NPE during Transfer Operation |
| PM84203 | Rational Developer for System z: Quick Edit Endevor (batch mode) - Update source fails C1G0024E : The element was already present at xxxx |
| PM84786 | Rational Developer for System z: Endevor search results do not return expected values when using the 'Enable "to" ' for environment and stage |
