Service Requests

Service Request Summary
QCCR1J32015 Two simultaneous users were not able to select or download attachments from the same entity. The entity was locked by the first user’s selection of the attachment. Note: The entity is still locked for other users when one user renames, uploads, removes or changes the description of an attachment. Other users cannot edit attachments during that time.
206276 [Internal] Users in certain user groups could not save changes in Performance tests. Note: In order for the user to get permissions to edit a Performance test, when granting Update permissions on Test, the entire Update folder has to be selected in the Permissions page. Limitation: If the update folder only shows a “faded” check mark, the user has to uncheck it and check it again to grant the missing permissions.
206393 [Internal] Private hosts could not be added by some user groups.
206294 [Internal] Vusers could not be added for a Performance test when editing a Build Verification Suite.
204042 [Internal] In a versioning enabled project, removing a Business Process Testing component with thousands of iterations was slower than expected.
204738 [Internal] In a versioning enabled project, adding hundreds of iterations (each containing more than 30 parameters for a Business Process Testing component) at once, was slower than expected.
205130 [Internal] In a versioning enabled project, an error was thrown when copy-pasting a huge Business Process Test containing more than 10 thousand iteration parameters.
204309 [Internal] The “CommandList.MoveUp” and “CommandList.MoveDown” workflow events were not triggered when components were moved in a Business Process Test by drag and drop.

204439 [Internal] When running Business Process Tests manually, an error message was raised when parameters were added to already included Business Components using the “<<< >>>” notation.
204301 [Internal] Business Process Test execution: The transition time between Business Components and between iterations of Business Components for tests with a lot of iterations and Business Components, took longer than expected.

204343 [Internal] Business process Test execution: When trying to run Business Process Tests from a machine on which the login was done using a user name having non-English characters, an error appeared.
203703 [Internal] Business Process Test execution: When trying to run Business Process Tests with many Business Components and iterations, the Business Process Testing Remote Agent failed and the execution of the tests was stopped.
204298 [Internal] When synchronizing from a baseline containing automated components that were automated only after they were imported, the following issues occurred in the target library: Business Process Tests that included such components failed when executed from the target library, using Unified Functional Testing Business Process Tests that included such components ran successfully when executed from the target library using QuickTest Professional 11.00, but the execution was done in non-wrapper mode, and the execution was potentially slower The keyword view of such components, when selected using the Unified Functional Testing plugin, was not displayed properly.
205146 [Internal] When upgrading projects to ALM11.5, if there were Business Components in which there were two or more parameters with the same name (but different case text) in the same Business Component, an error of FP_COMPONENT_PARAM_IDX is not found appeared.
