Problem Summary

In the rich client, users can modify links to other CLM applications even if they do not have the required permissions

Problem

Before users can modify links to other applications of the Rational solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM), the users must have the “Modify CLM Link” project configuration permission. However, in the rich client, users can modify links to other applications even if they do not have that permission.

Workaround

To restrict who can modify the links, use the web client because it enforces the “Modify CLM Link” permission.

• User can create CLM (OSLC) link without ‘Modify CLM Link’ selected in the project configuration permission set (66672)

Problem Summary

In the rich client, traceability attributes are lost when you edit the associated view

Problem

In a module view with columns that show the traceability attributes from linked-to artifacts, if you edit that view in the rich client, the columns will no longer display the traceability attributes. If you save the view, the change becomes permanent. This problem occurs because when the view is edited, the part of the view definition that specifies which traceability attributes to show is lost.

Workaround

Repair the view definition in the web client:

• 1. Open the web client.
• 2. Open a module that is associated with the view definition.
• 3. Open the view definition.
• 4. Add the traceability attributes that are missing.
• 5. Save the view.
