PI60611: DATA SOURCE WITH USER DEFINED THIRD PARTY DRIVER WILL NOT CONNECT IN RIT 9.0.0.0 (REGRESSION PROBLEM RE RIT 8.7.1.1)

Rational Integration Tester Fix Pack 1 (9.0.0.1) for 9.0.0
Rational Performance Test Server Fix Pack 1 (9.0.0.1) for 9.0.0
Rational Test Virtualization Server Fix Pack 1 (9.0.0.1) for 9.0.0

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Where a data source using a third party JDBC driver (which RIT
  does not have a predefined template for) is defined in RIT
  9.0.0.0 has a connection defined in Architecture School Logical
  View then the "Driver" field value is lost when the dialog is
  closed.  Consequently "Test Connection" (which works initially)
  does not work when the dialog is re-opened, and no query defined
  against the connection will execute.  Both give error "No driver
  class specified".  This functionality works correctly in RIT
  8.7.1.1.
