Impact Assessment
Impact Description

This is a service release. It contains new features as well as fixes for client-reported and internally found defects.

Test Results

Definitions

Regression: An error in the Maintenance Delivery Vehicle (MDV) that produces incorrect or unexpected behavior causing a supported feature to stop functioning as designed.
This includes:

  • Coding errors that cause a regression
  • Documentation or packaging problems that cause a regression
  • Errors reported in a new function delivered in a MDV that cause a regression

Incomplete: An error in the MDV has not regressed, but does not work as designed.
This includes:

  • Fixed APARs which did not solve the original problem but did not break anything new
  • APARs reporting documentation errors, such as readme errors, that cause problems applying an MDV but do not lead to a regression


Notes:
  • Regression and incomplete APARs are considered fix-in-error or MDV-in-error
  • Definitions above apply only to valid APARs that result in product fixes (APARs returned as working-as-designed are not assessed for being fix-in-error)
  • Issues in major releases due to new functionality do not apply in this definition

There are no known regressions to report.

ID Description
TP-74269 After you installed Rational® Service Tester for SOA Quality 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® Service Tester for SOA Quality V10.1.3, and then install the required version of the product.
TP-74037
When you run the SOA tests from Jenkins, the test run fails with an error message in the following conditions:
  • If Jenkins uses a JDK that is bundled with the product or a JDK running on OpenJ9 JVM.
  • When Jenkins is installed on Windows 10 or Windows Server 2019 operating systems.
  • When the RAM of the computer is less than or equal to 16 GB.
To work around this problem, you must set the max heap size to 4 GB or later according to your requirement to run the SOA tests from Jenkins.
You can set the maximum heap size during the configuration of the Jenkins agent by entering the value -Xmx4096m in the JVM options field under Advanced. You can then start the Jenkins agent.
TP-72152
After you install Rational Service Tester for SOA Quality V10.1.2, any time if you want to use the product V10.1.1 or earlier, you cannot roll back to the previous version of the product.
You must uninstall V10.1.2, and then install the required version of the product.
TP-69141 When you install V10.1.2 of the product, you must decrypt and encrypt each dataset by using the CSV Editor to apply the strongest encryption on each dataset that you used in the earlier version of the product.
TP-62667 When you install Rational Service Tester for SOA Quality V10.1.0 on Red Hat Linux Enterprise 8.0 or later, the installation fails with an error message.
To work around this problem, you must first install libnsl.so.1 on your computer for a successful installation of the product. Alternatively, you can create a soft link from libnsl.so.2 by running the following command on the command-line interface:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libnsl.so.2 /usr/lib64/libnsl.so.1
TP-67053 On Windows, there is an incompatibility between the version of Java packaged with the product (OpenJDK OpenJ9 V1.8.0_252) and AdoptOpenJDK14 when Symantec Endpoint Protection is installed.
To work around this problem, uninstall the AdoptOpenJDK14 product or remove it from the PATH before using the product.

TP-57089

In Rational Service Tester for SOA Quality V10.0.0 and later, when you set the environment variable, JAVA_HOME, to the bundled JDK that is shipped with the product, tests that run from Jenkins show a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space error after completion of the test run.
