****************************************************************
3.0 Installation Considerations
****************************************************************
AllFusion Harvest 5.1.1 patches are available as separate downloads:
- HARVEST: Harvest general components.
- HSDK: Harvest SDK.
- HSDK for WSAD 2.0: Harvest SDK for WebSphere Integration plugin 2.0.
- CONVERSION: Harvest 4.1x to Harvest 5.1.1 conversion.
Use the guide below to determine the applicable patches:
- Client (GUI, CLI, VCI, HarWind), Broker, Server or Agent, apply:
(1) HARVEST patch.
- HSDK, CHSDK, HarWeb 3.1 or WSAD Plugin 1.01, apply:
(1) HARVEST patch.
(2) HSDK patch.
- WSAD Plugin 2.0, apply:
(1) HARVEST patch.
(2) HSDK for WSDA 2.0 patch.
- Conversion, apply:
(1) CONVERSION patch.
NOTE: HARVEST patch must be applied no more than once.
All affected Harvest components on a machine must be shutdown before applying a PATCH/FIX on that machine.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: The Harvest PATCH/FIX level needs to be the same on all Harvest installations.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The PATCH files are cumulative; in other words, applying the latest PATCH file provides all fixes.
For example: HAR511PATCH005 contains all fixes from HAR511PATCH001 to HAR511PATCH005.
To apply a patch/fix go to the APPLY PATCH/FIX section.
To rollback a patch/fix after it has been applied, go to the ROLLBACK PATCH/FIX section.
Appling a patch/fix creates a backup directory with the original files and adds a rollback script to that directory.
This backup directory is <HARVESTHOME>/PATCHES/<patch/fix>_BKP
Where <patch/fix> is of the form: HARvPATCHnnn or HARvPATCHnnnFIX, and
v is the <Harvest Version> and nnn is the <Patch Number>.
For example: HAR511PATCH005 refers to: Harvest 5.1.1, Patch 5.
HAR511PATCH005FIX refers to: Fix for Harvest 5.1.1, Patch 5.
The difference between HAR511PATCH005 and HAR511PATCH005FIX, is that the first refers to a publicly available PATCH (patch 5),
and the second refers to a set of intermediate FIXES available after the PATCH (patch 5).
Intermediate FIXES are always included in the next publicly available PATCH.
ApplyPATCH.sh/ApplyFIX.sh and ApplyPATCH.bat/ApplyFIX.bat only update files that already exist and DO NOT add new files.
****************************************************************
4.0 Patch installation
****************************************************************
----------------------------------------------------------------
4.1 UNIX installation
----------------------------------------------------------------
Patch installation requires that umask is set to 022

----------------------------------------------------------------
4.2 WINDOWS Installation
----------------------------------------------------------------
- PLEASE RUN this script within a DOS/Command window
- PLEASE CLOSE ALL YOUR WINDOWS APPLICATIONS; especially:
Windows Explorer and IDEs
- IF You encounter a SHARING VIOLATION ERROR when applying this patch, please:

(5) Reapply the patch/fix
APPLY PATCH/FIX
1.- Logon to the Operating System using the Local Administrator account.
2.- Close all Harvest Client Applications.
3.- If this is a Harvest Server, Shutdown the Harvest Broker and all Harvest Server processes.
4.- If it does not exist, create the %HARVESTHOME%PATCHES directory.
5.- Copy the "<patch/fix>.zip" file to %HARVESTHOME%PATCHES.
6.- Decompress "<patch/fix>.zip" file into %HARVESTHOME%PATCHES.
7.- Open a DOS/Command Window and perform the next steps within this window.
8.- If you have previously executed this same patch/fix, rename or remove any previous backup directory for this patch/fix.
9.- Change the current directory to %HARVESTHOME%PATCHES<patch/fix> directory created in previous step.

11.- Review the PATCH.log file within %HARVESTHOME%PATCHES<patch/fix>_BKP directory.
12.- See Section 2.0 for Alerts regarding New Fixes introduced
ROLLBACK PATCH/FIX
1.- Logon to the Operating System using the Local Administrator account.
2.- Close all Harvest Client Applications.
3.- If this is a Harvest Server, Shutdown the Harvest Broker and all Harvest Server processes.
4.- Open a DOS/Command Window and perform the next steps within this window.
5.- Change the current directory to the %HARVESTHOME%PATCHES<patch/fix>_BKP directory.
6.- Execute "RollbackUPDATE.bat" script.
7.- Review the PATCH.log file within %HARVESTHOME%PATCHES<patch/fix>_BKP directory.
NOTE: The Rollback process "explicitly" does not remove the backup directory.
----------------------------------------------------------------
4.3 Database Patch
----------------------------------------------------------------
This update is applicable only to the Harvest Server database.
It should be applied as part of the Harvest Server PATCH.
This procedure can be executed more than once, before or after the software PATCH, without any problems.
The Database PATCH is permanent, independent of the software PATCH and not intended to be rolled-back.
1.- Change the current directory to $HARVESTHOME/PATCHES/<patch/fix> (UNIX) or %HARVESTHOME%PATCHES<patch/fix> (WINDOWS) directory.
2.- Apply Database PATCH using the Harvest Oracle account: sqlplus <account>/<password> @DBPatch.sql
3.- Review the DBPatch.log file within $HARVESTHOME/PATCHES/<patch/fix> (UNIX) or %HARVESTHOME%PATCHES<patch/fix> (WINDOWS) directory.
NOTE: Make sure to apply the Database Patch after completing a Harvest 4.1.x to Harvest 5.x Conversion.
----------------------------------------------------------------
4.4 Oracle DBMS Performance Considerations
----------------------------------------------------------------
Through testing, CA has observed that the use of the Oracle Cost Based Optimizer (CBO)
All Rows Mode improves performance. However, the "take snapshot" and "delete version" processes
yield better performance when the Oracle Optimizer RULE based mode is used.
Your Oracle DBA should consult the Oracle Documentation for information/guidance regarding the use
of these different optimizer modes.
If the CBO option is utilized, it should be used with the regular maintenance of an Oracle DBA. Contact CA Support of
any sudden performance problems.
----------------------------------------------------------------
4.5 PEC Installation
----------------------------------------------------------------
PEC 4.5.0 needs to be installed in order for this Patch to operate correctly. It must be installed wherever
Harvest is installed (server, client, and/or agent-only installations). To apply the PEC 4.5.0 Patch, perform the
following steps (for existing PEC installations the current version of PEC should not be uninstalled):
WINDOWS Installation
1. Unzip the PEC Windows installation zip file into a temporary directory.
2. Double-click on the ApplyPECPatch.bat file in the temporary directory.
UNIX Installation
Korn shell is required for PEC installation on UNIX.
1. If there is an existing PEC installation, source rtinit.sh by executing:
. <PEC HOME>/bin/rtinit.sh
NOTE: <PEC HOME> refers to the PEC Home directory.
2. Untar the PEC unix installation file into a temporary directory.
3. Run the shell file ApplyPECPatch.sh in the temporary directory.
----------------------------------------------------------------
4.6 eTrust Firewall Considerations
----------------------------------------------------------------
If you are running CA's eTrust Firewall, and you have dual versions of JAVA installed, see the following
Tech Document on CA's support site for information regarding how to setup the eTrust Firewall with
different Java levels:
http://support.ca.com/techbases/eTrust_firewall/etrustfw120.html
----------------------------------------------------------------
4.7 PEC Direct Connection Considerations
----------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Install or upgrade PEC to version 4.5 (this fix requires PEC 4.5).
(2) If Harvest server and/or remote agent exist behind a Firewall,
- Add the following entry to the <PEC HOME>standardrtserver.cm file on the RTServer machine:
setopt direct_connect_port_range <port number>,<port number>
for example: setopt direct_connect_port_range 6000,6100
Otherwise, Harvest server and/or remote agent processes will use dynamically allocated TCP ports
determined by the Operating System.
Note: The use of the port range 6000,6100 is for this example only. Users should utilize whatever
port range is valid for their environment.
(3) If Harvest server and remote agent exist on the same machine,
- Add the following entry to the <PEC HOME>standardrtclient.cm file on the RTServer machine
(create rtclient.cm if it does not exist):
setopt default_protocols tcp
(4) The specified port range must allow for at least one port per server and agent process behind the Firewall.
(5) If a Harvest remote agent exists behind a Firewall,
- Add the following entry to the <PEC HOME>standardHAgent.cm file on the Agent machine
(create HAgent.cm if it does not exist):
setopt use_server_managed_ports true
(6) The specified port range needs to be configured within the Firewall to allow TCP traffic
into the Harvest server and/or remote agent machines.
(7) On a UNIX Agent-Only installation, modify <HARVESTHOME>/bin/agntd script.
REPLACE the IF statement that checks for RTHOME (Solaris example):
if [ -z "${RTHOME}" ]
then
RTHOME="${HARVESTHOME}"
RTARCH=sun4_solaris
fi
WITH:
. <PEC HOME>/bin/rtinit.sh
NOTES: <PEC HOME> refers to the PEC Home directory.
It is very important that PEC be un-initialized prior to shutting down the broker. The only way to do this
is to perform a soft shutdown of the broker by using the bkrd –shutdown command. Performing a hard shutdown
(such as killing it in the task manager) may result in the ports not being properly cleaned up which cause
problems when the broker is started up again. Also, it is necessary to shutdown the RTserver process with
a soft shutdown as well, using the rtserver -stop command.

****************************************************************
6.0 Known Problems
****************************************************************
Rational Rose 2002 has not achieved AllFusion Harvest certification.
The following problems are known to be outstanding and we are pursuing their
resolution with IBM.
1605 - (VCI) INTEGRATION WITH RATIONAL ROSE
Rational Rose does not provide certain parameters to the SCC API when opening a project. IBM has confirmed
this problem and has provided defect number (RATLC00370984).
A change has been implemented in the Harvest VCI, so that when the user opens the project in the IDE, if
Rational Rose does not provide the parameter, a dialog box will be displayed to the user listing the different
Repository ViewPaths that contain a similarly named project (e.g., "ViewPath1Project1.hp~" &
"ViewPath2Project1.hp~"). The user will need to select the correct ViewPathProject from the dialog box
which matches the project they are opening, in order to open the project successfully.
1764 - (VCI) USING VDIFF IN RATIONAL ROSE CAUSES SHARING VIOLATION ERROR
While using Rational Rose, if a file is checked out for update, and the user attempts to run VDiff in the
File History dialog, the following error message is displayed: "A sharing violation occurred while accessing..."
IBM has confirmed this problem and has provided defect number (RATLC00373016).
Testing has identified the following problem when using the mvs agent.
2575 - MVS AGENT FAILS WITH PEC DIRECT-CONNECTION
When connected to an MVS Harvest Agent, selecting a valid file (a standard PDS) will not display the
members of the PDS as expected. Instead, an "SVC ERROR" will be listed within the MVS Agent Job Log.
We currently do not have a work-around, but we are working to resolve this after the release
of Patch 17.
****************************************************************
7.0 Additional information on problems corrected
****************************************************************
569 - UNABLE TO DELETE PACKAGES CONTAINING EMPTY DIRECTORIES
To delete a package, one of the following conditions must be true:
1) The package is empty: it contains no file-versions and directories.
2) The package only contains empty directories created by this package:
- It only contains empty directories (directories with no files).
- All directories and subdirectories were created by this package.
In the case of condition 2, when such package is deleted, then all its
associated empty directories get deleted.
654 - UPGRADE ZLIB (Compression Library) FROM VERSION 1.1.3 TO VERSION 1.1.4
NOTE: Some 3rd party products install a customized version of zlib.dll into
the "system32" directory (Harvest installs an unmodified zlib.dll into the
Harvest directory to prevent any conflicts). This may prevent the user from
adding a new project to version control when using VCI. To resolve this problem,
the user must either copy the Harvest zlib.dll (1) into the IDE directory, or
(2) into the "system32" directory overwriting the 3rd party zlib.dll (you should
consult with that particular product vendor before making this change).
709 - CHECKOUT PERFORMANCE: NEW HCO OPTION (-ced) ALLOWS THE OPTIONAL CREATION OF EMPTY
By default, the HCO command no longer creates empty directories during checkout.
Only when option (-ced) is specified the HCO command creates empty directories.
766 - HCO FOR BROWSE/SYNCHRONIZE CHECKS-OUT RESERVED VERSIONS
The -nt switch when used with HCO checks-out only normal versions.
When using HarRefresh, version 6.3.2 is required in order to utilize the -nt switch.
NOTE: Unless you are performing special filtering to handle the checkout of tagged versions,
you MUST use the -nt switch with HCO.
781 - HARVEST BROKER AND AGENT REQUIRE THE SYSTEM ACCOUNT TO RUN AS A WINDOWS SERVICE
Account used to run the Broker and/or Agent service is not limited to SYSTEM.
RESTRICTION: Harvest Broker and Agent can start as a regular application as long as
they are not installed as a service.
Minimum access requirements to run as an MS Windows service:
Agent and Broker account used to start the Agent & Broker:
- Log on as a service (to allow starting as a service)
- Read (RX) access to the following directories:
- CA_Lic
- CaiODBC
- Advantage
- Cryptography
- Change (RWXD) access to the following directories:
- HarvestHome
- Pec
Agent account used to start the Agent:
- Act as part of the operating system (to allow remote users to connect)
- Replace a process level token
- Increase quotas
- Directory access: Read (RX) (for checkin/checkout)
- File access: None (for checkin/checkout)
User Account connected to a Remote Agent:
- Directory access: Change (RWXD) (for checkin/checkout)
R: Read contents
W: Create new files & directories
- File access: Change (RWXD) (for checkin/checkout)
R: Read files
W: Change file permissions
D: Replace & Delete Files
Broker account used to start the Broker:
- Read access (RX) to mail utility used by Notify.
- Read access (RX) to commands executed via UDPs.
Any additional rights required by the mail utility and UDP commands.
792 - ON UNIX and WINDOWS, HSQL SENDS RESULTS TO HSQL.LOG FILE WHEN NO OUTPUT OPTION IS SPECIFIED
HSQL utility now sends results to standard output when no output option is specified.
844 - APPLY/OK BUTTON BEHAVIOR IS INCONSISTENT ON HARVEST PROCESS DIALOGS
In a Harvest process dialog (for example: Checkout, Checkin, Promote, etc.), the OK button is always enabled.
If the dialog is in a valid process-execution state (ready to execute) then the APPLY button is enabled;
otherwise, the APPLY button is disabled. The CANCEL button is always enabled.
When the dialog is in a valid process-execution state, selecting the OK or APPLY button
executes the dialog's associated process.
When the dialog IS NOT in a valid process-execution state, selecting the OK button simply closes the dialog.
Selecting OK will always close the dialog.
Selecting APPLY will always keep the dialog open; additionally, as indicated below,
APPLY will clear certain dialog fields depending on the dialog's associated process:
- CheckIn/CheckOut: Version list
- Create Package: Package name
- Promote/Demote: Package list
- Take Snapshot: View name
903 - CHECKIN (DELETE AFTER CHECKIN OPTION) DOES NOT DELETE READ-ONLY FILES ON WINDOWS
User must have Read/Write/Delete file access to delete a read-only file.
925 - HARWEB CONTAINS HARVEST DATABASE USER/PASSWORD IN CLEAR TEXT
If the harweb.cfg file does not contain Harvest database user/password information,
then HarWeb will utilize the encrypted information within hsvr.dfo.
If the harweb.cfg file contains Harvest database user/password information,
then HarWeb will utilize the database user/password within harweb.cfg.
NOTE: If Harvest Server is not installed on the same machine as HarWeb,
then the "hsvr.dfo" file needs to be generated onto the HARVESTHOME directory
on the HarWeb machine using the "svrenc" utility.
930 - CHECKOUT FOR RESERVE FOLLOWED BY CHECKIN FOR RELEASE TRIES TO ACCESS FILES VIA A CLIENT-PATH
Checkout for Reserve does not require a client-path.
958 - HSIGGET RETURNS THE MODIFIED DATE/TIME AS A NUMBER
It now returns the modified date/time as MM/DD/YYYY;HH:MM:SS
963 - CHECKIN IS ALLOWED ON ITEMS RENAMED WITHIN A PROJECT
Current Harvest architecture does not support checkins on renamed items within the same project.
Therefore, checkins on renamed items are not permitted within the same project.
981 - CHECKIN PROCESS FAILS WITH DESCRIPTIONS > 255 CHARACTERS
Maximum length of description fields is limited to 255 characters.
Maximum length of note fields remains limited to 2000 characters.
1007 - VIEW VERSION DOES NOT WORK ON FILES WITH NO EXTENSION
When you run view version on a file without an extension, it failed with
message "could not open document"
Steps to Reproduce
1. Set up Harvest so that files without extentions are considered text files.
2. Load a file into Harvest that does not have an extention.
3. Run view version on the file without the extension.
4. It fails with message "could not open document"
1008 - TEXT FILES WITH NO EXTENSION GET LOADED AS BINARY
If the <NONE> keyword is within a Repository's Text-Extension list,
all new files with no extension are treated as text;
if such keyword is not in the list, all new files with no extension are treated as binary.
1026 - WEBSPHERE INTEGRATION HANGS WHEN SYNCHRONIZING A STREAM
This fix requires JRE 1.3.1_03 or higher.
1031 - CHECKOUT PERFORMANCE: NEW HCO OPTION (-nvs) AVOIDS SENDING THE VERSION LIST TO THE HARVEST CLIENT
When the HCO command utilizes the (-nvs) option, the selected version list is no longer
sent to the Harvest client (in this case the HCO command).
The use of this option has the following restrictions:
1) It cannot be utilized in combination with the (-s) option.
2) The complete contents of specified VIEW-PATH are checked-out.
1062 - DELETING A REPOSITORY, FOLDER, OR VERSION LOCKS THE DATABASE
To obtain this fix, the database patch must be applied as instructed within the Database patch section.
1121 - HARVEST 5.1.1 C90 INTERNATIONALIZATION
KNOWN PROBLEMS:
1166 - "Connect to New Agent" Dialog box does not take Japanese characters on Windows 98 platform
1167 - Not all hot keys for dialog box fields work properly
1181 - HSIGGET ALWAYS REPORTS A FILE STATUS OF 0
If file is:
- Untouched, Status reported = 0
- Modified, Status reported = 1
- Deleted or Renamed, Status reported = 2
1190 - HSIGGET DOES NOT DISPLAY A MESSAGE ON COMPLETION
HSigGet now displays the following message on completion:
Harvest (hsigget) command completed successfully.
1254 - IN WORKBENCH, PACKAGE/VERSION FILTER IN VERSION-CHOOSER WORKS INCORRECTLY
When Package filter is specified, 2 additional Version filter options are now available:
-LATEST_IN_PACKAGE
-ALL_IN_PACKAGE
When FIND is selected, then based on Version Filter:
-LATEST_IN_VIEW : Get latest version in View for Package Items
-ALL_IN_VIEW : Get all versions in View for Package Items
-ALL : Get all versions in Project for Package Items
-LATEST : Get latest version in Project for Package Items
-LATEST_IN_PACKAGE : Get latest version in PACKAGE for Package Items
-ALL_IN_PACKAGE : Get all versions in PACKAGE for Package Items
1308 - (VCI) "CREATE PATH" CREATES PATHS IN READONLY REPOSITORY
A new folder/path is created in READ-ONLY repository when performing a check in through the
VCI and creating a new folder with the Create Path button on the View Path/Project Chooser
dialog. This is not IDE specific.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a project in IDE to checkin (this example uses VC++).
2. Setup a Harvest project that contains two repositories - one of them
Read Only.
3. In VC++, select Add to Source Control.
4. In the context window, select the Harvest project with two repositories,
one of them Read Only
5. In the viewpath/project chooser window, use the Create Path button to
create a new folder under the Read Only repository
6. Click OK and continue with the Add to Source Control process.
The check in/add to source control fails with the hscc error
"Harvest Project file checked in fail!"
The Harvest Session Log contained the following error message:
"E03020160: Cannot process VCINET Rep4PR1308Test in the working view. Repository in view is Read Only."
Therefore, the checkin/add did not happen, but the directories were created in a read only repository.
1320 - "Save to File" POPUP MENU OPTION IS MISLEADING
It has been changed to "Save List to File"
1367 - VERSION CHOOSER ALLOWS STATE PROCESSES ON VERSIONS NOT WITHIN THE CONTEXT'S STATE
If the version list is the result of a search based on Version-Filter set to: LATEST or ALL,
then processes (via Right-Click/OK) on selected versions are not permitted.
If the Context's Environment or State changes while there is an existing version list,
then processes (via Right-Click/OK) on selected versions are not permitted.
1391 - DELETE VERSION PROCESS DEGRADES AS NUMBER OF VERSIONS INCREASE
To obtain this fix, the database patch must be applied as instructed within the Database patch section.
1410 - HEXPENV/HIMPENV DOES NOT EXPORT/IMPORT USERGROUPS FOR APPROVAL/NOTIFY PROCESSES
The following options have been added to the export/import command line utilities:
-eug (for hexpenv) : export user groups
-iug (for himpenv) : import user groups
Users cannot be exported/imported.
1412 - VCI DISPLAYS MISLEADING MESSAGE WHEN CHECKIN FAILS
The following VCI Checkin Error Message has been changed:
FROM: "Can't check in Harvest File!"
TO: "Can not check in file(s) to Harvest. See the Harvest Session Log for details."
This type of error can occur when attempting to checkin a file that has not been previously checked-out.
1414 - PATCH VERSION LEVEL CANNOT BE IDENTIFIED
When applying a Harvest PATCH, a text-file named "HVersion.TXT" is now copied to the HARVESTHOME directory.
This file contains information on the Harvest version and PATCH-level.
1429 - INCONSISTENT BEHAVIOUR IN DUPLICATE REPOSITORY
Repetitive duplication of a template repository sets Compression Option to MVS
and resets the File Extension radio button.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a template repository called Test with Compress Option selected.
Specify some extensions of files that need to be compressed.
2. In the Repository File Extensions choose Use Repository text file extensions
and specify some file extensions.
3. From Admin gui, right click and choose Duplicate Test (TemplateRepository)
4. Duplicate the Repository 5 Times so you will have five duplicates called
Test1, Test2, Test3, Test4 and Test5.
5. DO NOT check the Repository Properties until all the Repositories are created.
6. Then examine the Properties of the newly created repositories. The first one or two
will be correct. From there on the Repository option is changed from Compress to MVS Option
and the File Extensions are changed from Use Repository text File extensions to
Use Global Text File extensions
1433 - IN HARWEB, REMOVING A FORM ASSOCIATION FROM A PACKAGE DOES NOT DELETE THE FORM
- HUP command-line utility has been expanded; a new switch -del has been added.
When removing package/form associations, via the -rf <form name> or -rfo <form object id> switches,
adding the -del switch will also delete the form if it is not associated with any other package.
- HarWeb has also been updated when removing package/form associations.
The system now prompts for confirmation to delete the form if it is not associated with any other package.
1434 - HARREFRESH QUERY TAKES LONG TIME
To obtain this fix, the database patch must be applied as instructed within the Database patch section.
1443 - HSERVER MEMORY LEAK ON UNIX AFTER CHECKING IN A LARGE FILE
Hserver is not releasing memory that is allocated after checking in a large file on Unix.
1444 - PACKAGE SYSTEM VARIABLE NOT BLANK ON CHECKOUT FOR BROWSE
In Harvest 4.1.2, when performing a checkout for browse or synchronize, the "Package" was blank.
In version 5, the value of package depends on whether the user has a package selected in his saved context.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Set default context to have a package name.
2. Perform check out for browse.
3. Browse will have system variable PACKAGE set to selected default package in context.
If no package is selected in default context, package name is blank.
1449 - UNABLE TO SET PROJECT & STATE FIELDS IN MOVE PACKAGE PROCESS IN WORKBENCH
Users cannot change the "to Project" and "to State" fields on a Move Package process.
Steps to reproduce:
1. In Admin Gui of Harvest 5.1.1, create a "move package process".
2. Fill in the "To project" and "To State" fields.
3. In workbench gui, bring up the "Move package process". Users can't select another project or state.
These fields are greyed out.
Note: In the Admin GUI, we added the new entry <any> for both "To Project" and "To State" combo boxes.
1. If <any> is selected for "To Project", the only available entry for "To State" is <any>.
2. If a project other than <any> is selected for "To Project", <any> and the state list (not including
snapshot states) will be populated into the "To State" combo box.
1460 - FIND PACKAGE UTILITY IS CASE SENSITIVE
Find package utility is case sensitive for the package name field.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create Package PK1 and PK2
2. Use Package Find in Workbench to search for pk*
Note: package name field is lower-case
Result: no packages found
1465 - FILE SYSTEM VARIABLE HAS A LIMITATION OF 1000 FILES
When checking in more than 1000 files, the file list provided to the prelink UDP is incomplete, ending
at the 1000th entry every time. It displays only the first 1000 filenames. When we use the udp as a
postlink, in postlink context, we get the last N filenames where N = (no_of_files MODULUS 1000).
Steps to reproduce:
1. Copied the Tcecho.exe into my HARVESTHOME on the client machine
2. Created a client side prelink udp for a checkin process using the following
Program: tcecho [environment][state]
Input: [file] - also tried "[file]" ["file"]
3. Checked in around 1020 files only the first 1000 files are displayed in the output session log and
also in the tcecho<timestamp>.log for the "file" variable
4. Similarly create a postlink udp for the checkin process with the same Program: and Input fields
5. Checkin the same number of files and only last 20 file names are displayed in the tcecho<timestamp>.log
file created in the %HARVESTHOME%
1469 - SIGNATURE FILE FIELDS ARE LEFT BLANK AFTER CHECKIN
After checking in a file, perform hsigget and most fields in the signature file are left blank,
including: package, tag, version, environment, state, userID, author, crtime, etc.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Checkout for update file test1 to c:temp
2. From command line, change directory to c:temp
3. Run hsigget. View all the fields in the signature file related to file test1
4. Make a change to the file test1, then checkin the file.
5. Run hsigget again. Will see most fields as blank or 0
Fix Implementation:
When the checkin mode is UPDATE AND RELEASE and UPDATE AND KEEP. checkin will set the signature file with the
correct information.
When the checkin mode is RELEASE ONLY, if the reserved version was created by a checkout for RESERVE ONLY, then no
signature update will happen since there is no physical file involved.
When the checkin mode is RELEASE ONLY, if the reserved version was created by a checkout for UPDATE, then the checkin
will reset the signature record to blank. So the following information for that particular item will be blank in the
signature file: package, tag, version, environment, state, viewpath, user, author, crtime, while versId will be set
to 0.
1558 - RENAME ITEM OPERATION CANNOT BE EXECUTED IN MORE THAN ONE PROJECT
Cross-project is also affected by this fix.
- If source and target item share a common ancestor in the rename tree,
then they are considered identical.
- If source item is within target item's rename ancestors, then no rename is needed.
For example:
Source-project Target-project Result
[A(0)->B(1)] [A(0)] [A(0)->B(1)]
[A(0)->B(1)] [B(0)] [B(0), B(1)]
[A(0)->B(1)] [A(0)] [B(0)] [A(0)] [B(0), B(1)]
[A(0)->B(1)] [A(0)->B(1)] [A(0)->B(1), B(2)]
[A(0)->B(1)] [B(0)->A(1)] [B(0)->A(1), A(2)]
NOTES:
[A(0)->B(1)] means item A, version 0, renamed to item B, version 1.
[A(0)->B(1)] versions in brakets "[]" refer to the same item.
1560 - GUI HANGS WHEN CONNECTING TO A STOPPED AGENT PROCESS
With the Workbench having an existing connection to an agent, if the agent is stopped and the user attempts
to navigate the agent, then the workbench will appear to hang for 5-6 minutes.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Within workbench, make a connection to an agent
2. stop the agent process
3. Within workbench, attempt to navigate the remote agent neighborhood, GUI hangs for 5-6 minutes
1572 - ALL USERS CAN CHANGE THEIR OWN USER NAME
Only Administrators and users with Admin User rights can change a user name
1593 - HARWEB DELETES FILES AFTER CHECKIN EVEN WHEN SUCH OPTION IS NOT SELECTED
HCI command has been extended with a new switch, -nd; this switch is the counterpart of -d.
The HCI command works as follows with using the -d and/or the -nd switches:
HCI .. -d .. : delete files after checkin.
HCI .. -nd .. : DO NOT delete files after checkin.
HCI .. -d -nd .. : ERROR. These switches are mutually exclusive.
HCI .. : (no -d nor -nd switch), use the default setting of the selected Checkin Process.
1616 - HEXECP COMMANDS TO A WINDOWS AGENT EXECUTE UNDER THE ACCOUNT THAT RUNS THE AGENT
HEXECP commands now execute under the account credentials provided as parameters
The Agent account that starts the Agent requires the following rights:
- Replace a process level token
- Increase quotas
1676 - HFT HELP (-h) DISPLAYS -of AS THE FILE-OUTPUT SWITCH
It now shows -fo as the file-output option.
1679 - HEXECP -b OPTION IS MISLEADING
Contrary to the other Harvest command-line utilities, the -b option in HEXECP DOES NOT refer to the <Broker>;
it actually refers to the <RTServer>.
1685 - NEW HCHGTYPE COMMANDLINE UTILITY CONVERTS THE ITEM TYPE
The hchgtype command is an administrator only utility that converts the type of an item, specified by file
extension, in the Harvest repository between text and binary. The user must be a member of the Harvest
Administrator user group to execute hchgtype. You can run the following command to get a list and
description of the command line options:
- hchgtype -h
NOTE: For Unix, users will need to create the hchgtype shell wrapper within the $HARVESTHOME/bin. The following
are the steps for creating the shell wrapper:
(1) within the bin directory, copy the hco shell wrapper and name the copy hchgtype
(2) edit the hchgtype script, replacing hco in the last line so that it looks like this:
exec "${HARVESTDIR}"/lib/hchgtype "$@"
(3) save the changes to the script
WARNING: Converting binary data such as applications, DLLs, libraries, or documents that cannot be viewed in
a simple text editor, to text could result in a loss of information. Therefore, backing up the database is
recommended before you execute item conversion.
1699 - CANNOT DELETE PACKAGE CONTAINING NON-EMPTY DIRECTORIES
When deleting a package containing non-empty directories, the remaining non-empty directories
are reassigned to one of the packages that owns items within these directories.
For example:
- Check-in a new item (I1) via Package (P1) and make sure to create a sub-directory (D1)
as a consequence of the check-in.
- Within the previuosly created directory (D1), check-in another new item (I2) via another
package (P2) and make sure to also create a new directory (D2)
We now have:
D1I1
D2I2
- Within Package (P1) delete the new created version for Item (I1)
(this in turn will remove the item).
- The version section within package (P1) shows empty; however, directory (D1) is still
associated with Package (P1). Additionally directory (D2) and Item (I2) exist within
directory (D1).
- Delete Package (P1). This action deletes package (P1); additionaly, directory (D1)
(which is not empty and was previously associated with package (P1)) is now reassigned
to package (P2).
- Within Package (P2) delete the new created version for Item (I2)
(this in turn will remove the item).
- The version section within package (P2) shows empty; however, directories (D1) and (D2)
are still associated with Package (P2). Additionally directory (D2) exists within
directory (D1).
- Delete Package (P2). This action deletes package (P2) and also deletes empty-directories
(D1) and (D2).
1709 - VIEWING THE PROJECT LIFE CYCLE AFTER USING "File / Save As..." CRASHES GUI
After selecting View Project Lifecycle for a second time, Harvest crashes. This occurs both in Administrator
and Workbench.
Steps to reproduce:
1. In administrator or workbench, right click on a project and select "View Project Lifecycle".
2. On the menu, select File - Save As to a local drive.
3. Close the lifecycleviewer.jpg
4. Right click on the same/different projects to select View Project Lifecycle. Advantage crashes.
Note: This crash also happens for forms and lists if the previous steps are followed.
Work-Around:
Do not close the diagram after saving it. Opening another diagram will be OK.
1716 - MAIL UTILITY BUTTON ON NOTIFY PROCESS PROPERTY PAGE TO BE REMOVED
This button is going to be removed because it only browses the client machine where Harvest Admin is running.
Since the Notify Process is a server side process the only time that this browse is useful is when the Harvest
Admin is being run on the same machine where the Harvest Server is run.
1750 - (VCI) CANCELLING THE SET CONTEXT DIALOG RESULTS IN MISSING CONTEXT ITEMS
When using the "Advanced" button in VC++ to display the context, if the user cancels to get out of the context
and presses the advanced button again, the context will be missing the selections for package and the c/i & c/o
proceses. Until the context is reset with valid values, the user will be unable to checkin or checkout.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In VC++, click the "Advanced" button to display the Context Dialog
2. Click [x] in the upper right corner to cancel out of the screen
3. Click the Advanced button again to display the context - some items are now missing.
Additionally, if the user changes the context screen environment and does not update the state, and then clicks
the [x] to cancel, VC++ will hang when clicking the advanced button again.
1757 - (CONVERSION) 2-PHASE REQUIRES A DATABASE LINK TO THE HARVEST 4.1x DATABASE
Convert2.bat and convert2.sh 2-PHASE CONVERSION require a
DATABASE LINK to the Harvest 4.1x database.
As an alternative, and similar to 1-PHASE CONVERSION,
convert2_sc.bat and convert2_sc.sh have been added to allow
the use of a harvest 4.1x database dump in 2-PHASE CONVERSION.
1785 - ADDED HARVEST SYSTEM VARIABLES clientpath AND viewpath
The following Sytem Variables have been added to Harvest: clientpath, viewpath
Information regarding these variables can be obtained by referring to the "HARADM.pdf" guide,
in "Appendix B: System Variables".
1786 - ADDED AGENT PATH LOCK DIRECTORY OPTION "-lockdir"
This is a new feature that will allow users of the remote agent to set a lock directory such that anyone who
logs in to this agent will be unable to navigate above that specified directory. Additional information can be
obtained by referring to the "HARUSER.pdf" guide, in "Chapter 4: Single-User Agent".
KNOWN PROBLEMS:
2123 - CONNECTED AGENT NODE IS NOT POPULATED WHEN USING THE SET CONTEXT DIALOG
When a user attempts to connect to an agent through the "Select a directory path" dialogue window
from the "Set Context" dialog, the connected agent node will not be populated, therefore, the
context client path can not be selected.
2737 - AGENT PATH LOCK DIRECTORY OPTION ALLOWS SELECTION OF A FILE AS THE INITIAL DIRECTORY
It is possible to choose a plain file on a UNIX agent system as the initial directory to which a Windows
client connects. When this occurs the plain file may also appear to be inside of the initial directory.
If this file is subsequently checked-in, it will appear to succeed, but the resulting content in the Harvest
repository will not be usable nor can it be deleted.
1787 - CANNOT UPDATE STATE PROPERTIES OF TEMPLATE PROJECTS IN HARWEB
Cannot update THE state properties of Template projects from harweb.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch harweb Admin.
2. Select Life cycle and Template project list.
3. Select one of the project in the list.
4. Click on the states tab .
5. Create a new state.Try to update properties of the new state,
6. State properties does not get updated.
1793 - CHECKOUT PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT - PEC Direct Connection Implementation
Implemented the PEC Direct Connection which is a peer-to-peer connection, and improves the
performance for communication.
1811 - WORKBENCH GUI OUTPUT WINDOW TRUNCATES LINES TO 255 CHARS
Lines in output window in workbench are truncated to 255 characters even if the text is much longer than
255 characters.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a udp with program name:
"perl "C:[directory_where_script_will_be]output.pl" (output.pl is as described below)
as the pre-link for promote process for example.
2. Run the promote package process in the workbench window. The UDP will run as the pre-link and
write the output to the output window.
3. Check that the output is truncated to 255 chars.
File output.pl has the following text:
print STDOUT "This update is applicable only to the Harvest Server database. It should be applied as part of the Harvest Server PATCH. This procedure can be executed more than once, before or after the software PATCH, without any problems. The Database PATCH is permanent, independent of the software PATCH and not intended to be rolled-back.n";
exit 0;
1840 - COMBOBOX FIELDS IN HARWEB FORMS SHOW AN EXTRA BLANK-LINE WITHIN THE LIST OF VALUES
This fix will correct the "formgen.exe", so that when generating XML forms, combo boxes will not
display both a "<- No Selection ->" and a "{blank}" entry. Only the "<- No Selection ->" will
be displayed within the combo box.
In order to utilize this fix, existing XML forms will have to be regenerated. If "formgen.exe"
is executed again, all previous form customizations will have to be re-added to the newly generated
XML form. Prior to running "formgen.exe", all XML forms (*.xml) that are being regenerated should
be backed up, as running "formgen.exe" will overwrite the existing XML form. This applies to both
the new forms that are created by users and to the forms that ship with Harvest.
1841 - FORMGEN UTILITY GENERATES INCORRECT TAB INDEXES WHEN CREATING *.XML FILES
In order to utilize this fix, existing XML forms will have to be regenerated. If "formgen.exe"
is executed again, all previous form customizations will have to be re-added to the newly generated
XML form. Prior to running "formgen.exe", all XML forms (*.xml) that are being regenerated should
be backed up, as running "formgen.exe" will overwrite the existing XML form. This applies to both
the new forms that are created by users and to the forms that ship with Harvest.
1850 - CHANGING CONTEXT PROJECT OR STATE DOES NOT RESET VIEWPATH AND CLIENTPATH
When changing the Context settings, the ViewPath and ClientPath are not reset if the Project or State
is reset.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to Harvest Administrator;
2. Create Two Repositories (Rep1 and Rep2);
3. Create Two Projects (Project1 and Project2);
4. Set Rep1 to Project1;
5. Set Rep2 to Project2;
6. Login to Harvest Workbench;
7. Set Default Context to Project1, and do not forget to set the View Path and Client Folder;
8. On Harvest Workbench, right click on Project2, and click on Set Default Context;
9. You will observe that the field Project is correctly set, and the fields State, Package,
Check out, Check in, and View are reset, but the fields View Path and Client Folder are unchanged;
10. Now go to any state of Project1, right click on this state, and click on Set Default Context. The user
will observe that the field Project, State and View are correctly set, and the fields Package, Check out,
and Check in are reset, but the fields View Path and Client Folder are unchanged;
11. Now go to a package of Project2, right click on this package, and click on Set Default Context; The user
will observe that the field Project, State, View and Package are correctly set, and the fields Check out,
and Check in are reset, but the fields View Path and Client Folder are unchanged;
12. Go back to Project1, set context accordingly to this project;
13. Go to Project2, go to a package, set the context by right clicking on the package and click on set default context;
Do not change any field and click OK;
14. Check in a new file, on the check in items window click on Use Context Client Path, and on
Use Context View Path;
15. The files will be checked into the wrong repository, because as the View Path and Client Folder are unchanged
and are set to Project1 not Project2.
Note: The ViewPath and ClientPath will now be reset every time the Project or State is changed, even if the
the viewpath is valid for the new Project or State.
1890 - CONCURRENT MERGE ERROR MESSAGES REFER TO 'F' TAG ITEM
When running concurrent merge on a branch version for an item that has other versions with a non-normal tag
on a trunk version (e.g 'D', 'R', or 'M'), the following error error message is given:
E03020032: The foo.c version has a 'M' or 'F' or 'R' tag on the trunk.
There is no 'F' tag (frozen) version implemented and needs to be replaced.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create versions 0, 1, and 2 of foo.c in pkg1
2. Checkout for concurrent update version 1 of foo.c in pkg2 (creating 1.1.1)
3. Make changes to 1.1.1 and check back in.
4. Before running concurrent merge on pkg2, remove item from pkg1 creating tag 'D' on version 2.
5. Run concurrent merge, get error message.
1907 - HCI DOES NOT PICK DEFAULT VALUE FROM SIGNATURE FILE
HCI does not pick default value for project, state, view path, or package from the signature file.
1. Created a text file help.txt in the local file system
2. Used the command line checkin process to checkin the file - specified all the parameters:
project, state, package, viewpath
C:>hci -b "li-yi03nt511" -en "Tutorial 1.0" -st "Coding" -pn "Check in New or existing items"
-p "pkg1" -s "help.txt" -if ne -vp "Tutorial Repository" -usr "harvest" -pw "harvest"
-cp "D:tmp" -o hci.log
3. Checked out the file for update
4. Verified using hsigget that the signature file had these parameters
5. Performed checkin again using:
C:>hci -b "li-yi03nt511" -pn "Check in New or existing items" -s "help.txt" -if ne
-usr "harvest" -pw "harvest" -cp "D:tmp" -o hci.log
This time did not specify the parameters since the documentation mentioned that this should be obtained
from the signature file.
6. Received the following error:
Required option doesn't exist: -en
Could Not Parse Command Line
Fix Implementation:
The following lists the conditions required in order for a user to utilize the information in the
signature file.
1. Only the HCI and HCO commands will utilize information in the signature file
2. Only one file can be specified on the command line (i.e., cannot specify multiple files or use "-s")
3. Only the signature file of the current directory is used (i.e., cannot specify "-cp" or a remote agent)
4. Only the project, state, view path, and package can be obtained from the signature file.
1923 - (VCI - PowerBuilder 8) REFRESH STATUS DOES NOT WORK WHEN SELECTING ONE ITEM IN POWERBUILDER 8
There is a limitation for PowerBuilder IDE, which is that for the Refresh Status to work properly
more than one file has to be selected.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open PB, Open the Library, and login to VCI.
2. Select an Item
3. Right click and select "Refresh Status" -> status is not refreshed (for example, if an item has
been checked by another user).
1945 - PACKAGE LIST VIEW WILL NOW DISPLAY DESCRIPTION AND NOTES COLUMNS
The Package List will now display both columns, but will limit the display to 80 chars. To see the full
content of these fields, users will need to go to the Package Properties Dialog.
1947 - (VCI - PowerBuilder) IDE CRASHES WHEN ADDING TO SOURCE CONTROL MULTIPLE LIBRARY FILES WITH THE SAME FILES
When adding to source control, PowerBuilder extracts the contents of each library (*.PBL) to the
directory that contains the library file. If multiple libraries contain files with the same name,
then the last extracted file will overwrite all others.
When using PowerBuilder libraries that contain the same files, the user must store each library file
within a different directory.
1951 - CROSS-PROJECT MERGE FAILS WITH NORMAL-VERSION AS SOURCE AND DELETED-VERSION AS TARGET
When source version is NORMAL and target version is DELETED, cross-project merge
will create a NORMAL version on target.
1959 - (CONVERSION) RESERVED VERSIONS DO NOT HAVE A MAPPED-VERSION NUMBER
Due to architectural differences between Harvest 4 and Harvest 5, if you have already converted to Harvest 5
with reserved versions from Harvest 4, DBPatch.sql will NOT correct all possible cases.
The SQL statements for PR# 1959 within DBPatch.sql will ONLY CORRECT scenarios #1 and #2,
and will NOT CORRECT scenarios #3 and #4.
Scenarios that will be corrected:
1) Reserved trunk-versions (except under scenario #4).
2) Reserved Branch-Versions that are not the first version within Branch (branch-version parent is another branch-version).
Scenarios that will NOT be corrected:
To resolve the problems described under scenarios #3 and #4, the versions with no mapped-version must be deleted.
3) Reserved Branch-Versions that are the first version within Branch (branch-version parent is a trunk-version).
Reason: there is no sufficient information to determine the exact branch number.
4) Reserved trunk-versions that when corrected generate duplicates.
For example:
Step 1: Harvest 4 - Item A:
- Version 0 (Normal)
- Version 1 (Reserved)
Step 2: Harvest 5 (after conversion) - Item A:
- Version 0 (Normal)
- Version (Reserved - no mapped version)
Step 3: Checkout for update Item A:
- Version 0 (Normal)
- Version (Reserved - no mapped version)
- Version 1 (Reserved)
Given that the reserved-version with no mapped-version is a child of version 0,
correcting such version will create another reserved-version 1.
2032 - SNAPSHOT PROPERTIES DIALOG SHOWS INCORRECT DATE
For "as of date snapshots" it shows the entered date when taking the snapshot.
For all other snapshots it shows the date when snapshot was created.
2037 - ADMINISTRATOR GUI USER REPORT SHOWS DATE FORMAT IN U.S.(ENGLISH) ON NON U.S.(ENGLISH) WINDOWS INSTALLATIONS
The date format in users report in Harvest Administrator gui is different from that of the system locale.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. On client machine launch Harvest administrator.
2. Copy project to active projects folder
3. Create user and groups
4. In workbench, create packages and assign packages to various users.
5. In adminstrator gui, from the menu select Reports->users
6. Date format in the report output log is still in English format: "Month Day year."
2051 - A USER GROUP WITH VIEW ACCESS FOR A FORM TYPE CAN GRANT ACCESS TO OTHER GROUPS
A User Group with only View Access for a Form Type should not be able to grant access to other groups.
2053 - CLICKING ON THE STOP BUTTON DURING A CHECKIN WILL NOT STOP THE CHECKIN
During a large checkin process (several thousand files), clicking the Stop button will not stop the Checkin.
You will need to press the stop button several times (approx 5 times).
2056 - MULTI-USER AGENT WILL CORE DUMP WHEN LOGIN USERNAME AND PASSWORD FIELDS ARE LEFT BLANK
Using workbench GUI connecting to a Solaris ( 2.8 and above) multiuser agent, if the username and password
fields are left blank, then the multiuser agent gives a segmentation fault-core dump error and the
Workbench GUI hangs.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. start a multi user agent on a solaris 2.8 or 2.9 machine.
2. From workbench gui, try connecting to the agent.
3. In the connect to the remote agent dialogue box, leave the username and password fields blank.
4. Agntd process on the unix machine disappear or core dumps, the workbench gui hangs.
2065 - PRE/POST LINK UDPs BEING CALLED MULTIPLE TIMES BY HCO
When using HCO to checkout more than 5000 items, and if the the checkout process used has a Pre or Post Link UDP,
then the UDP will be called multiple times.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. define a checkout process with a pre/post link UDP.
2. use hco command line to check out 20,000 items using this checkout process specified with the "-pn" option.
3. Check the output log file and find out the per/post link UDP being called several times.
2071 - END OF LINE/CARRIAGE RETURNS ARE DISPLAYED AS UNPRINTABLE CHARACTERS IN THE PACKAGE LIST VIEW
End of Line and Carriage Return characters, when entered in the Package Notes and Description Tabs, are
displayed as "||" or unprintable characters in the Package List View.
2093 - (VCI - .NET) .NET NON-HEIRARCHICAL SOLUTIONS MISSING REQUIRED SOURCE CONTROL INFORMATION AFTER ADD
When adding to Source Control a solution that is not in a hierarchical directory structure, you will receive
the following error in the Harvest Session Log.
"E02020118: Error: Version not reserved for file C:VCIBBB NonHeirSol154Sol154.vsscc"
The Harvest Repository looks like this now.
VCI Rep1BBBSol154 --> contains sln file and the Sol154.hp~
VCI Rep1BBBSol154Sol154 --> contains Sol154.sln, Sol154.vsscc, and Sol154.vssscc
VCI Rep1BBBSol154VBApp154 --> contains files for VBApp154
File system looks like this.
c:vciBBB NonHeir contains Sol154.hp~
c:vciBBB NonHeirSo154 contains Sol154.sln file
c:vciBBB NonHeirVBApp154 contains files for VBApp154
(note: .NET realizes that this solution is not in a heirarchical structure and determines the path for the hp~ file)
Log on to machine 2 as user 2 and perform Open from Source Control on the Open Solution Dialog presented by .NET,
you will have to navigate to the location of the solution and click on the Open button. This is because the dialog
defaults to the location of the hp~ file which is up 1 or more directories from where the solution is located.
2103 - SNAPSHOT FIND VERSION OPTIONS MISLEADING
When a user defines the context with a State on a snapshot view, the Version/View drop down list is misleading.
Currently we have (1) Latest In View (2) All in View (3) All (4) Latest. Not all of these options are valid for
Snapshot view.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a State that only uses Snapshot views (e.g., "Browse Snapshots")
2. Create a take snapshot process in another state which has a working view.
3. Checkin a new item A version 0 into a working view.
4. Take a snapshot of the working view.
5. Checkin a new item B version 0 into the working view.
6. Invoke Find Version and set context to "Browse Snapshots". The context setting window
will automatically populate the snapshot view.
7. Go back to the Option: Name & View tab of Find Version
8. Notice that for Version/View drop down list, all 4 options are available.
9. Since Find Version will only select versions in the snapshot view, not all of these options should be available.
Valid Values for the Version Chooser Filters. This fix will limit the Option selections to these values when
a State using only Snapshot Views is selected:
Item: All
Version/View: Latest in View
Version Tag: All, No Tag
Branch: Trunck Only
2106 - (VCI - .NET/VC++) CANNOT PASTE TO A READ-ONLY FILE
This problem affects Visual Studio 6.0 and Visual Studio .NET. When pasting to a file that is not checked out
(read-only), the IDE prompts the user to check-out the file. When the checkout completes the IDE mistakenly reloads
the file from disk, overwriting the pasted text. The paste appears to have never occurred.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a new VC++ project into harvest control.
2. Open any text file with more than 60 lines of text, and copy it all to clipboard
3. check all files in from VC++
4. click on the readme.txt or other source file, and perform Ctrl+V. This will cause VCI to pop-up dialog for
Checking out the file - Check out for update:
I00020110: File VCIc++ReadMe.txt;0 checked out to mycomputer\c:program files microsoft visual studiomyprojectstest1ReadMe.txt
As a result you should now have the file checked out, and the pasting done. But the result is that the cursor is
being placed in the last line of the source file. If you scroll page up, you see that nothing has been pasted into
the beginning of the document.
2111 - (VCI - .NET) CHANGE VCI TO USE LPPROJNAME INSTEAD OF LPAUXPROJPATH
Users want to be able to have a .net solution which contains web projects and to put the web projects in the
repository under different view paths. Currently, because the restriction to have all the hp~ files under the same
view path all the web projects resides under same view path so user cannot have items with same names under different
web projects. This also applies to nonhierarchical projects in a .net solution.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a solution containing 2 web projects and 1 non-web project (VB project) on Machine 1.
C:vcinetSol6 contains *.sln
C:vcinetSol6VB contains vb project files
C:vcinetSol6WebP6a contains WebP6a files (asp web project)
C:vcinetSol6WebP6b contains WebP6b files (c# web project)
2. manually setup 2 virtual directories.
Virtual Directory Alias: WebP6a
Directory: c:vcinetSol6WebP6a
Virtual Directory Alias: WebP6b
Directory: c:vcinetSol6WebP6b
3. Add Solution to Source Control.
For the first Project Chooser/View Path Dialog
Project name: Sol6
View Path: vci repnetsol6
For the second Project Chooser/View Path Dialog
Project name: WebP6a
View Path: vci repnetsol6WebP6a
For the third Project Chooser/View Path Dialog
Project name: WebP6b
View Path: vci repnetsol6WebP6b
Repository in Harvest looks like this:
vci repnetsol6 contains *.sln and Sol6.hp~
vci repnetsol6VBApp6 contains vb project files
vci repnetsol6WebP6a contains the WebP6a project files.
vci repnetsol6WebP6b contains the WebP6b project files.
File system looks like this:
C:vcinetSol6 contains *.sln and Sol6.hp~
C:vcinetSol6VB contains vb project files
C:vcinetSol1WebP6a contains WebP6a.hp~ and WebP6a files
C:vcinetSol1WebP6b contains WebP6b.hp~ and WebP6b files
4. From second machine logged in as a second user and and set context to second package.
Manually setup 2 virtual directories.
Virtual Directory Alias: WebP6a
Directory: c:vcinetSol6WebP6a
Virtual Directory Alias: WebP6b
Directory: c:vcinetSol6WebP6b
5. Open from source control.
For the first Project Chooser/View Path Dialog
Client Dir: C:vcinetSol6
View Path: vci repnetsol6sol6.hp~
The files start checking out for synchronize. Click ok on the window when it asks for the appropriate web
location to check the web project out to.
The files start checking out. After a while, you will receive the following error:
"Unable to get the project file from the web server"
You will not be able to Open from Source Control. The web files will not be checked out from Harvest into the
correct directories.
2113 - (VCI) DOES NOT ALLOW DATA ACROSS DRIVES
If you have two projects in an IDE that are in two different drives, VCI will not allow you to check in any
files from the second project. VCI throws an error message saying the files cannot be in different drives.
This is not specific to the NET IDE. This is a limitation across all IDEs.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create two projects in an IDE that are in two different drives. If using NET, then create a solution that
contains two project that are on two different drives.
2. Perform Add to Source Control.
3. VCI displays an error message saying the files cannot be in different drives.
2136 - (CONVERSION) CONVERTED PROJECT HAS NO BASELINE WHEN INITIAL REPVIEWOBJID IS NOT 1
In Harvest 4, if the default initial RepositoryView is not ObjID = 1, then, after converting from Harvest 4 to
Harvest 5, none of the converted projects will have a baseline.
2137 - (CONVERSION) ITEM PATH CONVERSION FAILED WITH ERROR: ORA-00001 FOR HARVERSIONINVIEW TABLE
In Harvest 4, if the default initial RepositoryView is not ObjID = 1, and an ItemPath exists in a Snapshot View,
but not in a Baseline View, then, when running conversion, the following error will occur in the convVV.log:
Item path converted failure ! PathId = 1142 --> Error : [CAI/PT][ODBC Oracle 8 driver][Oracle 8]ORA-00001: unique constraint (HARVEST.HARVERSIONINVIEW_PK) violated.
2144 - (VCI - .NET) CONTEXT GETS SWITCHED FOR NONHIERARCHICAL SOLUTION
VCI context gets switched in .NET for non hierarchical solution. When selecting files from multiple non hierarchical
projects in .NET, the contexts get switched and out of sync, resulting in unexpected errors.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create 2 non hierarchical projects in a solution in .NET.
2. Select two files from each of the projects (one file from project A and one file from project B).
3. Select checkout.
Receive an error message (sometimes) that the file cannot be checked out.
2153 - (CONVERSION) DUPLICATE QUERYS IN VALIDATEREFERENCE AND ALTERTABLE SQL
Within the ValidateReference.sql and Altertables.sql files, the same query exists:
DELETE FROM HARAPPROVEHIST WHERE ROWID NOT IN
(
SELECT MIN(ROWID)
FROM HARAPPROVEHIST
GROUP BY EnvObjId, StateObjId, PackageObjId, UsrObjId, ExecDTime, Action
);
AlterTables.sql was modified to remove the duplicate query.
2156 - (CONVERSION) ADDED SWITCHES TO SKIP THE ACCESS AND BLOB DATA CONVERSION IN 1ST PASS
Two additional command line arguments (-skipaccess, -skipblob) have been added to allow users to skip the
access conversion and D/V folder blob data conversion during a Harvest 4 to Harvest 5 conversion.
Using the -skipaccess and -skipblob flag in 1st pass conversion:
1. When running viewconversionconv from the convert.bat or convert.sh, the user needs to edit the file to
skip the call to executable convacc.
2. Then add the addtional flags to skip access or the D/V folder conversion.
NOTE: The position of the "-skipaccess" and "-skipblob" flags are relevant. For the flags to work, they
must be after the first three parameters: DataSrc, HAR_NAME, HAR_PASS
For example, before this change:
${HARVESTHOME}/bin/viewversionconv ${DataSrc} ${HAR_NAME} ${HAR_PASS} 2>&1 | tee delta.log
After this change:
${HARVESTHOME}/bin/viewversionconv ${DataSrc} ${HAR_NAME} ${HAR_PASS} -skipaccess -skipblob 2>&1 | tee delta.log
3. The spelling of the flags must be lower case as:
4. Any additional parameter will set the viewversionconv stop flag to true, meaning the conversion will stop at
the first item conversion error.
2167 - RENAME SNAPSHOT OPTION "As of Date in Current Working View" TO "As of Modified Version Date"
When using the "As of Modified Version Date", the Take Snapshot process will capture versions in the
current working view that were modified on or before the specified version modified date and time.
Important! This behavior deviates from Harvest 4.x. The date and time is compared with the version
modification date/time. It does not refer to the date and time that versions were present in the
working view. See tech note TEC293284 at esupport.ca.com for a description of how to simulate
Harvest 4.x behavior in Harvest 5.x.
2191 - (VCI) FIELD TO SELECT DIRECTORY IS TOO SMALL TO SEE WHOLE DIRECTORY NAME
When you open the window to select the viewpath/project directory, the field to select the directory is too
small and it's difficult to determine if you are picking the correct directory when you have long directory names.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create the following directory structure
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
WWWWWWW
2. Open from Source Control a project that you already have in source control
3. Log into Harvest and set the context.
4. You will be presented with the Viewpath/Project Chooser dialog. Choose the browse button on this dialog to
browse the client directory location.
5. The user is presented with the Choose Directory dialog box. The list box that shows the directories is too small
for long directory paths and does not have a horizontal scroll bar on it to allow viewing the whole directory name.
Added a horizontal scroll bar to the directory list box on the Choose Directory dialog box to allow the user to
scroll and see the whole directory name.
2202 - HFATT -H DESCRIPTION IS INCORRECT
When we type hfatt -h in the command line, the description is not correct regarding the rules for several switches.
According to the harref.pdf file, page 1-31:
1. Form must be specified by either form name (-fn) or object id (-fid)
2. If form name (-fn) is specified, then form type (-ft) must be specified, and
and form ID (-fid) is not specified.
3. If you specify form ID (-fid), then do not specify form name (-fn) and formtype(-ft)
2205 - ABLE TO DELETE SUPERUSER ACCOUNT
A user with "Admin User Access" rights is able to delete the account that was created when Harvest was installed.
This is the user account with UserObjID = 1, which is sometimes referred to as the "superuser" account.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Logon to Harvest Administrator GUI using the superuser account, or an account with "Admin User Access" rights.
2. Go to the users tab
3. Select superuser (for example: harvest)
4. Delete user.
2206 - EXTRA <TAB> INSERTED AFTER LAST COLUMN IN HSQL OUTPUT
HSQL output returns an extra TAB after the last column which in turn creates an extra empty field when outout is
imported into Excel.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run HSQL using the -t switch.
Results:
<Header 1><TAB><Header 2><TAB> .... <Header n><TAB>
<Value 1><TAB><Value 2><TAB> .... <Value n><TAB>
<Value 1><TAB><Value 2><TAB> .... <Value n><TAB>
:
:
<Value 1><TAB><Value 2><TAB> .... <Value n><TAB>
2212 - HSQL INTERACTIVE MODE IS LIMITED TO ONE LINE ENTRY
In interactive mode, <ENTER> is interpreted as end-of-input limiting the sql statements to one line entry.
2213 - CHECKIN FAILS WITH LARGE FILES AND REPOSITORY COMPRESSION ON
Checkin of large files (400MB) with repository-compression-on fail with an agent timeout error.
2216 - ADDED SWITCH TO ALLOW USERS TO USE EITHER THEIR DESKTOP FONT SIZE OR A FIXED FONT SIZE
This fix will allow customers who choose to use large desktop fonts to have their Harvest font size restricted so
that the characters do not overrun each other or the input fields on dialogs and other portions of the application.
To invoke font size restriction, add the parameter "-fixedfont" (without quotes) to the advantage.exe command line.
This parameter must be placed before the -Product parameter in the command line for both the Workbench and
Administrator portions of the application. For example, in the Windows shortcut properties for WorkBench, you
would have either of the following:
"C:Program FilesCAAdvantageCommonBinADvantage.exe" -Product="AllFusion Harvest CM Workbench"
or
"C:Program FilesCAAdvantageCommonBinADvantage.exe" -fixedfont -Product="AllFusion Harvest CM Workbench"
All users of either application should have this parameter set the same for any particular user to allow for
consistent results. For example, if you wish to run but the administrator and the workbench portions of Harvest at
the same time, both should either have this parameter set or not, as the case may be.
2219 - HARVEST 5 ALLOWS DELETING A PACKAGE WITH RESERVED VERSIONS
Harvest 4 did not allow the deleting of packages with reserved versions, but Harvest 5 did allow this
behavior. Altered Harvest 5 behavior to match Harvest 4 behavior.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load a repository and associate it with a Project.
2. Create pkg1 and check out a file for update, creating an R tag version.
3. Try to delete pkg1 in harvest 4.1.2 and the following error message is displayed:
E0558: cannot delete package pkg1: there are version associated with this package.
E0556 Delete package failed for package pkg1
4. Run same test in harvest 5.1.1 and try to delete pkg1 and the package is deleted.
2220 - CLOSEST COMMON DIRECTORY IS INCORRECT ON CHECKOUT/CHECKIN DIALOGS
In Harvest 5.1.1, within checkout and checkin dialogs, the corresponding Find-Version and Find-File dialogs
return the closest common directory to the versions or files selected. This common directory becomes the View-path
on checkout dialogs (when "Use Context View Path" is not selected) and Client-path on checkin dialogs
(when "Use Context Client Path" is not selected).
The problem detected is that the system does not select the correct closest common directory to the selected
versions or files under the scenario described below:
Directory 1: C:aaabbbccc
Directory 2: C:aaabbbcccXXX
Current Result (WRONG): C:aaabbbccc
Correct Result (RIGHT): C:aaabbb
2222 - SNAPSHOT+PACKAGES SHOWS ITEMS DELETED WITHIN PACKAGES
Taking a snapshot using the 'Snapshot View Plus Package(s)' option, shows that items removed within
the selected packages are not removed from the new snapshot.
Step to Reproduce:
1. In Project1, create snapshot1 selecting 'Latest Versions In Current Working View'
This snapshot should contain at least 1 item.
2. In Project1, create Package1, right-click on item1 in Data View and select Remove Item using this Package1.
RESULT: * item1 disappeared from Data View
* item1 with D tag created in Package1
3. Create snapshot2 of Project1 selecting 'Snapshot View Plus Package(s)
* Use snapshot1 from step 1 as 'Snapshot View'
* Use Package1 from step 2 as Package
4. Baseline new Project2 to this new snapshot2
RESULT: item1 which was removed, is still present.
5. In Project1 create snapshot3 selecting 'Latest Versions In Current Working View'
6. Baseline new Project3 to this new snapshot3
RESULT: item1 which was removed, is no longer present.
2225 - COMPARE VIEW DIALOG PRESENTS DATE IN WRONG FORMAT
The Compare View report in the Harvest Workbench presents the date in wrong format, i.e. it does not format the
date considering the system local settings.
Steps to reproduce.
1. From your Windows system, click on Start-> Control Panel -> Regional Options;
2. On the General tab, set the location (Your Locale) to, for example,French (France) or any other that the date
format is dd/mm/yy.
3. Login to Harvest Workbench and execute the Compare View process. (If a project does not contain a state with
the Compare View process set, create a Compare View process from Harvest Administrator.)
4. On the Compare View dialog choose the views to be compared and click on the Report button;
5. You will observe that, although the Regional Options is set to French (thus the format of the date should be
dd/mm/yy), the date presented is formatted as mm/dd/yy.
2231 - HSQL DOES NOT REFORMAT <NL> AND <TAB> ON MULTILINE TEXT
HSQL utility does not reformat output on multi-line text fields by replacing newlines and tabs with <NL> and
<TAB> strings.
2237 - SNAPSHOTS TAKEN FROM HARVEST ADMIN GUI DO NOT CONVERT DATE/TIME to GMT
When taking an "As of Modified Version Date" snapshot via Harvest Administrator GUI the contents of the snapshot
is not correct.
When using the " As of Modified Version Date " type on Harvest Administrator GUI, the take snapshot process
captures versions in the current working view that were modified before or on the specified version modified
date and time.
The modified date of the item versions on the database table is saved in GMT type, but Harvest Admin GUI is not
converting to GMT type the date entered by the user. The comparison of the date entered with the modified date on
the database will not be done correctly, thus the contents of the snapshot will not be the one expected by the user.
2239 - HSQL DISPLAYS NULL DATETIME VALUES AS 0 + TIMEZONE
HSQL displays NULL datetime values as 00/00/0000;00:00:00 + TimeZone adjustment.
For example: On a -5 TimeZone, NULL DateTime values show as 00/00/0000;-5:00:00
2240 - CANNOT CREATE AN EMPTY DIRECTORY WHEN THE DIRECTORY ONLY CONTAINS REMOVED ITEMS
When all items are removed from a viewpath, if a checkout with the option "create empty directories" is performed,
the "empty" directory is not created.
However, if a snapshot is created using the same repository, and then perform a checkout with the option
"create empty directories", the "empty" directory is created.
2243 - (VCI) SCCDIFF COMPARISON OF COMMAND FLAGS IS NOT CORRECT
The SccDiff method is incorrectly comparing the value of command flags (dwFlags) received from the IDE.
The command flags can be combined so such values would be possible:
SCC_DIFF_IGNORESPACE + SCC_DIFF_QD_CONTENTS.
SCC_DIFF_IGNORESPACE + SCC_DIFF_QD_CHECKSUM
etc.
SccDiff is assuming that the flags are not combined, so when receiving the example above it will not work properly.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a project already under source control using PowerBuilder 9 or open a project already under
source control with the "Perform Diff on Status Update" property checked using PowerBuilder 8.
2. One vdiff window for each file pertained to the project will be opened even though PowerBuilder
asked for a "silent" or a "checksum" check of the files.
2267 - HSERVER CAUSES EXCESSIVE CPU USAGE.
Hserver causes execessive CPU usage for long running server udps.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a shell script with a sleep command and run as a server udp on Unix:
#!/bin/sh
sleep 100
2. Monitor hserver process (e.g top or ps) while udp is running and note the increasing CPU usage.
2273 - VULNERABLE PASSWORD ENCRYPTION FOR 'SAVE PASSWORD' OPTION.
The password saved in Windows registry as a result of selecting the 'save password' option in the
GUI login window has vulnerable password encryption. The encryption scheme is being updated to use
Triple DES.
2280 - HSQL WITHOUT (-T) DOES NOT PRINT DATETIME FIELDS ON NEW LINE
HSQL without (-t) option prints fields that follow a datetime value on the same line.
2285 - USER IS ABLE TO DELETE ITS OWN ACCOUNT
A user is able to delete its own account via Harvest Administrator GUI. This should not be allowed.
2288 - VERTICAL SCROLL BAR IS DISABLED IN THE NOTE TAB OF CREATE PACKAGE
With a note written on the "Note Tab" within the "Create Package Process", you cannot scroll down the note
to view the remainder of the note.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Log in to Administrator workbench.
2. Create a process, e.g. create package process, in a state of a project.
3. Enter a long text in the textedit box on the "note" tab and click OK.
4. Go to workbench.
5. Execute the create package process. Go to the Note tab of the "create package" process.
The scroll down button is disabled.
2295 - CANNOT CREATE EMPTY PATH WHEN CHECKOUT FROM SNAPSHOT VIEW ROOT VIEW PATH
When checkout files from a snapshot view and select "create empty directories" option, if there is more than one
folder under the "" root view path and if you select "" root for the view path to checkout from, the empty
directories are not created after files are checked out to the file system.
2298 - HARWIND LOGIN ERROR MESSAGE NOT CONSISTENT WITH THOSE OF OTHER HARVEST MODULES
Using Harwind to connect to Harvest server at different version level will give an error message
"Login failed" while using other Harvest components such as Workbench, Admin, hsdk,... will
give a different error message - "E0320517:Error: Client and server product versions do not match."
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup Harvest 5.1.1 Server
2. Setup Harvest 5.1 Client (WorkBench, Admin, Harwind, etc)
3. Attempt to Login with Harwind; receive "Login failed"
4. Attempt to Login with other Client module;
receive "E0320517:Error: Client and server product versions do not match."
2317 - ERROR MESSAGE TO BE DISPLAYED WHEN SERVER AND CLIENT ARE AT DIFFERENT PATCH LEVELS
When the client and server are at different patch levels, Harvest components like workbench,
Admin, command line utilities, hsdk, harweb, websphere, vci, harwind should not be able to
login and should display error message containing both the server and client patch numbers.
See # 2379 for additional information concerning this functionality.
2333 - CONTEXT DIALOG PRESENTS WRONG STATE
The Context Dialog will present the first state that matches the initial characters of the saved Context value.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a project Project1 with following states Development, Dev, Prod Staging, Prod, QA Complete, QA.
2. Log to Workbench go to Tools, Set Context. Set your Project to Project1, State to Dev click OK.
3. Then go back to Tools, Set Context and you will see that the Project shows as Project1 but the State
is set to Development.
This problem does not occur if the order of the States is reversed. For example if you have states
Dev, Development, Prod, Prod Staging, QA ,QA Complete, the problem does not occur.
2334 - DEFAULT CONTEXT DIALOG PRESENTS PROCESS THAT USER DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS TO
When a user does not have execute access to a process, s/he cannot see this process in Workbench when
right-clicking on a package or item, etc. However, just after login, in the Default Context window,
this process is visible.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Take a process, e.g. Check Out for Concurrent Update, and grant
Execute Access to a User Group, e.g. Tester
2. Take a user which is part of another User Group, e.g. Developer
3. After login, in the Default Context window, the process to which this user does NOT
have Execute Access, is visible.
4. Inside the Workbench, when the user right-clicks on a package or item, the process is not visible,
as it should be. The process should be invisible in the Default Context as well.
2335 - ENTERING NOTES ON A REPOSITORY PATH FAILS
In Harvest administrator within the repository tab, entering a note for a path fails with an error.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right-click on a path within Harvest Administrator - Repository TAB
2. Select properties
3. Select Note TAB
4. Enter some text
5. Click OK - Session log displays an error indicating that paths cannot be modified
2336 - CHECKIN TO CREATES INCORRECT ITEM-REPOSITORY ASSOCIATIONS
A checkin of new items to the root viewpath ("") creates incorrect "file-item to repository" associations.
Additionally, this type of checkin allows for new directory-items to be created within repositories out of
the project's baseline.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create, in the administrator, a project, named 'A' - the project should contain at least one state,
with a view, a create package process and a checkin process.
2. Create, in the administrator, two repositories, named 'A' and 'B', use repository 'A' as baseline
for project 'A'. Do not use repository 'B' as baseline for any project.
3. Create, on your filesystem, a directory 'X' that contains a subdirectory 'A' and a subdirectory 'B',
both subdirectories should contain subdirectories containing files.
4. Create a package
5. Do a checkin in project 'A', settings:
mode = update and release
package = fill in the package from step 4
from = the directory 'X' created in step 3
use context client path = off
to = '' (the root directory)
use context view path = off
option = Preserve and create path structure
filter = New or exisiting items
files = recursively select all files under the 'X' directory
Results:
Existing items are checked-in into repositories A and B (even though repository B is not in
Project A's baseline). New directory-items are associated with repositories A or B. New file-items
are associated with repository "" (not A or B).
2344 - GUI CRASHES WHEN ENTERING UDP INPUT LARGER THAN 2000 CHARACTERS
When creating or updating the input field on UDP GUI dialogs, entering values larger than 2000 characters
crashes the GUI.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Harvest Administrator, create a UDP process
2. Enter more than 2000 characters within the input field
3. Click OK - The GUI crashes with an unhandled exception error.
2345 - EXCESSIVE NUMBER OF OPEN FILES FOR BKRD/HSERVERS.
On Unix, the number of open files by the broker and hservers tend to increase over time and may cause
certain transactions (e.g UDPs) to fail or hservers to die if system limits are reached.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start broker with minserver 1, maxserver 10.
2. Run concurrent transactions to allow broker to spawn temporary hservers.
3. Using 'lsof' (e.g $lsof |grep bkrd| grep FIFO) to monitor broker and notice that open
FIFO files increase by 2 for every temporary hserver, but never decrease when temporary hservers exit.
2360 - HSQL DOES NOT DISPLAY MULTIPLE COLUMNS WITH THE SAME NAME
When a select statement contains multiple columns with the same name, only one column is displayed in the result.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run HSQL with:
select p.creationtime, f.creationtime from harpackage p, harform f, harassocpkg a
where p.packageobjid = a.assocpkgid and a.formobjid = f.formobjid;
2. Results are only one column shows in the output
2364 - RENAME ITEM PROCESS LIMITS UNIX USERS
The rename item process restricts the following characters /:?*<>| when specifying a new item name.
While these characters are not legal on windows. All but the / are legal characters on UNIX.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run the hrnitm command line from UNIX.
2. Try Renaming the item with any of the following characters. :*?"<>|
3. An error message is displayed.
ERROR:Item name cannot contain the following 9 characters /:*?"<>|
2379 - SWITCH TO ENFORCE SERVER AND CLIENT TO BE AT THE SAME PATCH LEVEL
Implemented a switch on the server side so that harvest administrator can
a) enforce the server & clients to be at same patch level if it is on, or
b) skip the server & clients patch level check if it is off.
Using this new functionality:
1. Add argument "-enforcepatchversion" to hserver.arg to enable or disable the client/server
patch version check.
-enforcepatchversion=0 {or, this switch is not present, then no client/server patch version check is performed}
-enforcepatchversion=1 {client/server patch version check is performed}
2. Add argument "-enforcepatchversionmsg" to hserver.arg to add a customized error message to
the standard error message. If "enforcepatchversion" is not on (i.e., not = 1), then this setting is not used.
-enforcepatchversionmsg="Contact the Information Technology Dept to obtain appropriate Harvest Patch"
When the Patch Version is enforced, the following error message will be displayed for clients and servers
at different patch levels.
"E03020518:Error: Client and Server are at different patch levels. Client is at Patch 18, and Server is at Patch 17."
If using the customized message, the following is an example of the error message displayed:
"E03020518:Error: Client and Server are at different patch levels. Client is at Patch 18, and Server is at Patch 17.
Contact the Information Technology Dept to obtain appropriate Harvest Patch."
For clients prior to this patch, the error message is:
"E3080003: Requested Message Key Not Found::HSRV_E_PRODUCT_PATCH_MISMATCH".
NOTE: Currently, it is a support requirement that all Harvest Clients, Servers, and Agents be at the same
patch level.
2403 - FILE SYSTEM VARIABLE ECHOS 'FILE' IN SESSION LOG
The file variable in harvest 5.1.1 does not behave in the same manner as harvest 4.x. When utilized as a
udp to a Checkout for reserve process on a pre/post link, it echoes '[file]' in the session log. Previously
harvest 4.x simply ignored the variable and did not display anything.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create test.bat with the following line
echo %1 %2
2. Create Prelink UDP for a Checkout for reserve process
c:test.bat [environment] [file]
3. Run the Process. Results are:
---------- Begin <CheckOut for Reserve Only> Process ---------------
I0002013c: File HarrefreshUSER.SQL;0 reserved.
.....
TCH015>echo Harrefresh [file]
Harrefresh [file]
2409 - CHECKOUT PERFORMANCE: PEC DIRECT CONNECTION - FIREWALL + VPN
Checkout fails when executed via a Firewall or VPN
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup the Harvest servers behind a Firewall
2. Close all TCP ports within the default range on the Firewall
3. Start a harvest client outside the Firewall
4. Perform a checkout - the checkout fails.
2413 - UDP SYSTEM PASSWORD IS EXPOSED IF UDP FAILS
If a udp fails while containing the password system variable in its definition, the password will be
exposed in plain text in the log output.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a udp to run echo that displays arguments passed to it:
UDP definition: c:echo.bat [user] [password]
echo.bat contents: echo %1 %2
2. rename or move echo.bat to allow the udp to fail
3. notice password is displayed in plain text in session log
2420 - HFT USES BACKSLASHES IN VIEWPATH ON UNIX SYSTEMS
In version 4, for viewpaths, HFT used a forward slash for unix, and a backslash for windows.
In version 5, a backslash is used for both unix and windows servers.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a unix server.
2. Use HFT with "Viewpath" keyword to add footprinting to file.
3. Check viewpath information. It has a backslash on it as it does in windows.
Note: Modified HFT program so that it now has a new option "-fs". When used, it will produce viewpath
information with forward slashes.
2421 - CLIENT UDP EXECUTION FAILS
Client UDP execution fails when user logged on the Windows system is not part of the Administrator group.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using a clean Windows environment, and log in as local Administrator of the Windows system
install Harvest Server and Harvest Client
2. Set Harvest Broker to run as a Windows Service: Open a DOS command window and enter
bkrd -install=<Oracle_Service_Name>
3. Start Harvest Broker service and log on Harvest Administrator
4. Create a sample project and on any of its state create an UDP process that will run for example
the calculator (c:WINNTSystem32calc.exe);
5. Create a local user that is part only of any of the following Windows groups: Guest, Users and Power Users;
6. Log off of Windows System;
7. Log in as the user created on step 5;
8. Log on Harvest Workbench and execute the UDP process created on step 4;
9. The following error message will be presented:
Harvest Error
UDP failed. Please see output log.
In the Harvest output log you have the error:
E03060019: ERROR: Process Execute failed. Process Name: <UDP name>
2453 - NO WORKING VIEW FOR CHECKOUT PROCESS
If a State has No View, the user can still select a Check Out process and the Check Out dialog box
appears and the user can fill everything in. However, when they click ok, the error message appears:
"There is no working view in this state!". This error message should appear directly after you click
the process, as it does when you select a Check In process.
Steps to reproduce:
1. In Harvest Administrator, open the Properties of a State (e.g. Development) and change View to "No View".
2. In Harvest Workbench, Create a Package in this State.
3. Right-click on this Package or select the Package and go to menu Processes, and select "Check In Items".
Error message received - "Error: There is no working view in this state!"
4. Right-click again on this Package or select the Package and go to menu Processes, and select
"Check Out for Browse".
5. The Check Out dialog box appears, and you can fill everything in, except the "From" field, which
gives the error message.
2486 - DISCONNECTING FROM AGENT DOES NOT RELEASE TCP PORT
Removing an agent connection in the GUI does not properly shutdown the connection.
2490 - STARTING BROKER SHOWS SHUTDOWN MESSAGE
Shutdown message is displayed when the broker is starting up.
2491 - BUILDS ON UNIX FAIL WITH PEC 4.5.0
Harvest 5.1.1 builds on UNIX fail when using the PEC 4.5.0 libraries due to LINK references to cxxipc.
Adjusted the builds to properly utilize the new PEC 4.5.0 libraries.
2523 - NO ERROR MESSAGE WHEN CONNECT TO AGENT FAILS
No error message is displayed when communication fails via a direct connection port
Steps to reproduce:
1. make a successful connection to a Remote Agent that exists behind a Firewall
2. Close the GUI without disconnecting from the Remote Agent
3. Close all the direct connection ports at the firewall
4. Start the GUI and click on the existing Agent connection. An error dialog displays
the agent machine name but no error message
2530 - SHUTDOWN BROKER MESSAGE DISPLAYED WHEN SHUTTING DOWN AGENT
A Broker Shutting Down message is displayed when shutting-down the agent.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Shutdown agent via command line: agntd -shutdown
2. The following message is displayed:
shutting down broker on local machine
Note: The following messages will now be displayed:
agntd -shutdown displays: shutting down HAgent on local machine
bkrd -shutdown displays: shutting down HBroker on local machine
2543 - CANNOT SHUTDOWN SINGLE-USER AGENT IF STARTED IN NON-VERBOSE
When a Harvest Single-User Remote Agent starts in non-verbose mode, it can not be shutdown with the
following syntax: agntd -shutdown -usr=<user> (NOTE: in this case, the system prompts for the password).
However, it can be shutdown with the syntax: agntd -shutdown -usr=<user> -pwd=<password>
Steps to reproduce On Windows:
1. start single-user agent in non-verbose mode
2. shutdown agent using: agntd -shutdown -usr=<user>
3. Agent does not shutdown
Steps to reproduce On Unix:
1. Start single-user agent in the background
for example: agntd -rtserver=<rtserver> -usr=<user> -pwd=<password> &
2. Shutdown single-user agent
for example: agntd -rtserver=<rtserver> -usr=<user> -pwd=<password>
3. Results: the new agntd process core-dumps.
2563 - LIST VERSION PROCESS MISSING INFORMATION
List Version Process does not display File Creation Time and File Modification Time. Have added these
two fields to the output of the process.
2591 - CHECKOUT FROM SNAPSHOT VIEW WITH -ced OPTION PERFORMANCE IS SLOW
Performing a checkout using the -ced option from a snapshot view is much slower than performing
a checkout using the -ced option from a working view.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In a working view there are about 521 files.
2. Create a snapshot view based on the working view.
3. associate the snapshot view with a state.
4. Checkout from those two views and compare the result.
Run hco command line using -ced option to checkout files from working view and snapshot view.
For example this is the hco commandline:
hco -b {machinename} -usr harvest -pw harvest -en "synproject" -st "snapshot" -ced
-pn "checkout" -vp "/rep3" -cp "d:temp" -ss "synproject_snap" -br -op pc -r -s * -o hco_snap.log
Results:
From snapshot view - 10 minutes
From working view - 40 seconds
2600 - CHECKOUT PROBLEM IN WSAD WHEN A FILE IS OPENED BY MS WORD
In WSAD workspace, there is a file being managed by harvest. It's also opened outside by MS Word.

While in the navigate, the file is marked as checked out.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In WSAD, share a project into harvest.
2. open a file in this project by MS word, don't do anything.
3. In WSAD, try to checkout this file and other files together. Other files are checked well.
For this file, it will get this error: file agent error, can't replace read only file on checkout.
The file is marked as checkout in WSAD navigate field.
2663 - SYNCHRONIZE OF WSAD IS SLOWER IN SP2
When comparing synchronization of WSAD between SP2 and Harvest511 PATCH016, sync in SP2 takes
longer time than in PATCH016.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Apply Harvest 5.1.1 Patch 16 (and the appropriate HSDK & Wsad Patches).
2. Time the Wsad Synchronize
3. Apply Harvest 5.1.1 SP2 (and the appropriate HSDK & Wsad Service Packs).
4. Time the Wsad Synchronize
For example: Synchronize 561 files in a wsad project:
Harvest 5.1.1 patch 16 - 45 sec.
Harvest 5.1.1 SP2 GA - 1 min 30 sec.

2703 - REMOTE AGENT CONNECTION INFORMATION STORED IN REGISTRY CAUSES SECURITY ISSUE
There is a security hole in the way harvest workbench gui stores user/password of the remote agents
in the registry. Any user with appropriate access to browse someone else's registry can have access
to this information and spoof the original user to get the un-authorized access.
1. In the workbench gui, go to the Files tab in the workspace.
2. Right click on the Remote Agent Neighborhood node and select "Connect to New agent".
3. A "Connect to new agent" dialog comes up. On that dialog, fill in the information
and check the check box "Save file agent info".
4. After successful login, go to the registry and check the key:
HKEY_current_userSoftwareComputer Associates International, Inc.RemoteAgents
The password info is stored for different agents (the password is encrypted)
NOTE: Implemented a switch on the server side so that harvest administrator can allow or prevent the
saving of the remote agent password. By default, the password will not be saved.
Using this new functionality:
Add the argument "-saveremoteagentinfo" to hserver.arg to allow or prevent the saving of the remote agent password.
-saveremoteagentinfo=0 {or, this switch is not present, then no remote agent password can be saved}
-saveremoteagentinfo=1 {allows for the remote agent password to be saved}
2704 - REMOVE ERROR MESSAGE FROM CLIENT IF NO ONE IS SELECTED TO BE NOTIFIED ON PROCESS

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a large .NET solution from source control using VCI.
2. You will observe, from the Task Manager window, that Oracle process is using up to 100% of CPU
and the opening process never finishes.
2770 - SINGLE USER AGENT CORE DUMPS ON AIX 5.2
Single user agent core dumps on Aix 5.2 during checkin/checkout.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start up single user agent on an Aix 5.2 box.
2. Run checkin or checkout with a number of files against the agent.
3. Notice the agent will crash and produce a core dump.
2771 - GUI FROM PATH IS INCORRECT ON CHECKIN FROM UNIX AGENT
When performing a checkin from the Workbench GUI, the FROM patch is set incorrectly after selecting
files from a UNIX Remote Agent.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. From the Workbench GUI, Connect to a UNIX Remote Agent
2. Select a package and open a checkin dialog
3. Set a FROM path to a directory on the UNIX Agent
4. Use Find file to search and select files from the UNIX Agent
