PM50506: Clearing test plan association fails for a view, if RQMi is configured with a different instance of RQM

Rational DOORS 9.4

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Steps to Reproduce
  ==================
  1. Configure RQMi to work with RQM instance A
  2. Export a view - View A.
  3. Now, re-configure RQMi to work with RQM B
  4. Try exporting View A - FAILS
  5. Try clearing Test Plan association for View A - FAILS
  
  Note - Any new view which was not exported before re-configuring
  RQMi, will work fine.
  
  Workaround
  ==========
  On the DOORS Server machine, navigate to the ?DOORS
  Datafolder?\conf\u1000001.dir\RQM folder which holds the
  information of the views which were already exported to RQM-A.
  Look for the file having the uniqueID of the module (Module1)
  with the view (Veiw-A) in question.
  
  For example if the uniqueID of the module is 00000021, then the
  file name should look like 'Module00000021-View00000001.txt'.
  
  Rename this file and restart the DOORS client and now it should
  let us export the view (View-A) to the new RQM (RQM-B) instance.

  3. Now, re-configure RQMi to work with RQM B

  5. Try clearing Test Plan association for View A - FAILS

  re-configuring RQMi, will work fine.
  

Problem conclusion

• This will be addressed in the 2012 release of RQMI that
  corresponds to DOORS 9.4
  
  The RQMI Server will no longer be a required component. RM
  data in DOORS will be linked via OSLC data to QM data in
  RQM, and will be product to product with no intermediate
  components.
