This interim fix includes defect fixes to Rational Functional Tester 6.1.1. The defect fixes are outlined in this document. Rational Functional Tester 6.1.1 and this interim fix also include support for extended functional testing for Siebel applications. The documentation for the Siebel feature is in a separate release notes file, IBM Rational Functional Tester Extension for Siebel Automation Readme. To view the latest version of this file, see the readme at www3.software.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/rft/html/61/rft6101_Siebel/readme_Siebel.html.
You must install Functional Tester 6.1.1 before installing this interim fix.
This fix contains fixes for the following problems:
3.1 WrappedException[System.InvalidCastException] when running invoke method on Janus (APAR PK11104)
The Janus control bar used an unexpected parent control hierarchy that was not properly resolved by RFT. Support for the Janus control bar has been added to allow for proper testing of the contained toolbar items.
3.2 Problem saving recognition property (APAR PK03825)
Single-character recognition properties were being treated as "transient" properties and were not getting saved in the RFT object map. The RFT object map has been updated to allow single character recognition properties, such as "x" or "y".
3.3 Project's log folder is re-created when using the -log folder and -log parameters from the command-line (APAR PK11035)
RFT playback empties the log folder with the assumption that the log folder is always log_datastore/script_name, even if the log folder and log name are explicitly changed on the command line. This issue has three side effects:
1. If the log_datastore does not exist, it is created regardless of whether or not it is explicitly changed on the command line.
2. If the log name is not the same as the script name, and a log with the script name exists, the wrong log name folder is emptied (leaving an empty folder in the log datastore).
3. Again, if the log name is not the same as the script name, the log folder is not emptied before playback. This means if there were assets that do not get overwritten, they will persist in the log folder even though they do not make sense relative to this log output. This change causes only the target log to be cleaned up and no longer requires the log datastore to be present.
3.4 domain[d].getTopObjects throws NullReferenceException when domain is a Siebel domain
The Siebel domain is active in all Internet Explorer-based HTML applications. In RFT 6.1.1, it was incorrectly throwing an exception if there was no Siebel application running.
3.5 Insert Test Object into object map via Object browser may not work for HTML applications
In the 6.1.1 release, there was a potential problem when using the Object Browser (tree view) to insert a TestObject from an Internet Explorer-based HTML application.
