Error description
Abstract: Rational Developer for System z V8.5.x client may hang when using Software Analyzer If Software Analyzer it run on a COBOL program which contains COPYBOOK statements it may cause the client to hang. Steps to recreate: 1. Open a COBOL file from your remote systems view with either LPEX or the COBOL editor. 2. Right click in the editor and click Software Analyzer. 3. Observe hang issue.
Local fix
Using local projects may resolve the issue.
Problem summary
If Software Analyzer is run on a COBOL program which contains COPYBOOK statements it may cause the client to hang.
Problem conclusion
Code was updated to avoid downloading non-cached copybooks during code review parse. This change causes the code review to avoid the code path that causes the hang. Note that copybooks will not be updated during code review, so if a user wants to include copybooks in the code review analysis, the copybooks should be loaded and cached (for example, by opening the program that includes the copybooks in an editor) prior to running the analysis. The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with IBM Rational Developer for System z V8.5.1.6 Fix Pack which is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2294&uid=swg27006335
