PI24848: REDUNDANT SSL TAB ON TIBCO EMS CONNECTION CAUSES USER CONFUSION

Rational Performance Test Server 8.7.1
Rational Integration Tester 8.7.1
Rational Test Virtualization Server 8.7.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a TIBCO EMS connection is defined in Architecture School's
  Physical View the dialog shows an SSL tab (as a sub-tab of the
  config tab).  Whilst the transport does support SSL as detailed
  in the manual this SSL tab is never used.  Because the contents
  of this tab remain greyed out it can give the appearance that
  the broker connection settings entered on the first config tab
  have not successfully enabled SSL.
  
  The tab reads:
  [CRRIT3895E] Built-in SSL support is not available for the
  provider you specified.
  You may be able to enable SSL by providing additional JMS
  properties.
  Please contact the support desk for a list of properties for
  your provider.
  
  This message remains the same regardless of what JMS properties
  have been added or whether SSL has been enabled by adding these
  properties.
  

Local fix

• Simply ignore the SSL tab.  Whilst the TIBCO EMS connection
  supports SSL, all the configuration is done on the settings tab,
  and the text on the SSL tab never changes.
