APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Most password fields in RIT allow you to enter a tag value.
  This must be entered in the form %%my_password%% as there is no
  right-click menu.
  
  It is not possible to do this in the Identity object in
  Architecture School > Physical View
  
  WORKAROUND:
  
  Use a tag name in the Password field in the Run Command test
  action.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * If a user attempts to use a tag (i.e. an environment tag) in *
  * the password field for an Identity Store then any logon      *
  * attempts using that identity will fail.                      *

Problem conclusion

• This problem was caused because Rational Integration Tester was
  not evaluating the tag at runtime.  The problem has been
  corrected in version 8.6.0.2 of Rational Integration Tester and
  a tag can now be used to specify a password value for an
  Identity Store.
