About Rose 7.0.0.4

Announcements, Changes and Known Issues

You must upgrade Rational License Server(s) to at least v7.0 to enable support for Rational Rose 7.0.0.4

Rational Rose Windows supports IPv6.

Rational License Server v7.0.1 or greater is required.

Limitation: Rose Data Modeler’s forward / reverse engineering to / from DDL functions normally in IPv6. However, integration with databases supported by Rose is limited by IPv6 support for the database when running Rose on IPv6.

Please refer to the following link for FDCC Support information - http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=999&context=SSSHEM&context=SSCSP7T&context=SSSTY3&context=SSCSNZN&context=SSSTWP&q1=FDCC&uid=swg21298277&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=en

• 
  Citrix
  
• 
  Windows Terminal Server for Windows 2000
  
• 
  Windows Server 2003
  

Rational Rose supports Windows Server 2003.

Rational Rose supports Microsoft Vista.

• 
  Must install Microsoft winhelp32.exe to view Rose Help:
  

However, it is available for download from Microsoft at:

Download this and install as a pre-requisite to run Rose Help

• 
  RATLC01188293 – It may be possible to select Rose Visual Basic or Rose Apex Add-In’s in the Add-In Manager even though neither Visual Studio nor Rational Apex installed.
  
  
• 
  Rose Add-In information for Vista:
  
  
  • 
    Rose Apex Add-In is not supported on Vista, as Rational Apex is not available for Vista.
    
  • 
    Rose Data Modeler: Oracle 9i is not supported on Vista and Rose does not formally support Oracle 10g.
    
    Workaround: To work with Oracle database, install Oracle 10g client on Vista machine and Oracle 9i server on any other Windows XP machine. You may then forward and reverse engineer using the Oracle database.
    
    
  • 
    Rose Data Modeler: Unable to install DB2 7.0 on Vista, therefore Rose Data Modeler does not support DB2 7.0 on Vista.
    

• 
  IC48750; RATLC00542317 – Enumerations are available in all JDK frameworks

  Rational Rose provides limited support for JDK 1.5. In relation to JDK 1.5 enumerations, Rose allows classes to be stereotyped with the “Enum” stereotype. Then, during code generation the class is generated as a Java enumeration. Although this stereotype is applicable only for Java 1.5 classes, it may be applied to any other class contained in any of the Framework models

  
  
  
• 
  IC48425; RATLC00385579 – Attempting to delete EJB name will append additional characters.

  To reproduce:

  
  

The name will grow: ‘TestEJJBJBJBJBJBJBEJB”

Rational Rose is designed to append a suffix (“EJB” by default) to bean name.

If the bean is named “foo”, then Rose appends the suffix string “EJB” causing the full name to appear as “fooEJB”.

Whenever Rose finds that the default suffix does not exist, it appends it.

If the bean name is named “fooEJB”, and you place the cursor between E and J and press the Delete key, J will be deleted causing the name to be fooEB. As the suffix (“EJB”) no longer exists, “EJB” is appended to create the full name “fooEBEJB”.

• 
  The following fix is not available in Japanese Rose Windows v7.0.0.4:
  

• 
  RATLC01358889 - When reverse engineering (Java) the following error message may occur when running English Rose on Japanese Windows operating system:
  

• 
  PK20590; RATLC00483486 - Rose REI Diagram.GetSelectedItems Method returns Items vs. ItemViews
  

• 
  RATLC01368958 – Attempting to use the ANSI Converter to convert a Rose C++ class to an ANSI C++ class, may display a blank dialog.
  

Restrictions and guidelines (Rose Windows, only)

Under certain circumstances, file system corruption can result from installing Rational Version 2003 and 7 products on Windows 2000 to an NTFS partition that has enabled the Windows “Change Journal” (log). This corruption is caused by a defect in Windows 2000. Before you install any Rational Version 2003 or 7 product on a computer that is running Windows 2000:

1. 
   Disable all virus detection software
   
2. 
   Read IBM Support Technote 1135295. Go to http://www-1.ibm.com/support/us/search/index.html and search for “Rational Installer Change Journal.”
   
3. 
   Read Microsoft Knowledge Base article 820888 at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];820888. This article includes information about an update from Microsoft that fixes the defect.
   

The Microsoft .NET Framework (v.1.1 or higher) is required to install the Rose Data Modeler and Rose Web Modeler Add-Ins. If you do not have the required .NET Framework version installed and choose to continue the installation, these Add-Ins will not be installed and previously installed versions of these add-Ins will be disabled. You can install these Add-Ins at any time after you install the .NET Framework by using the Change option of your Rose installation in the Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel.

For additional information in relation to installing Microsoft .NET Framework, please refer to:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/technologyinfo/howtoget/default.aspx.

The following describes Rational Rose Enterprise Installation behavior in relation to the Rose Data Modeler and Rose Web Modeler Add-Ins.

This error may occur under the following conditions (#1 & #2 – English OS and #2 – Japanese OS):

1. 
   One or both of the boxes on the Languages tab of the Control Panel > Regional and Language Options is checked (supporting East Asian and complex script / right-to-left languages).
   
2. 
   Windows XP SP2 is installed.
   

The error may be ignored. The Installation and Rose session will run successfully.

Note: Microsoft has provided a Hot Fix for this issue – Microsoft KB number :KB910466. It may be downloaded from: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=910466.

There are separate fixes for the language of the Operating System. Request the fix that applies in your case (i.e. English or Japanese).
