Formal Project Management RTC v3
Hi,
I'm trying RTC v3 Formal Management Process. I planned two tasks WorkItems (let's say A and B). Both of them have been set as ASAP Constraint Type. A is the predecessor of B. A is Closed (and Fixed). If I StartWork on B (set as Work In Progress State) I catch the following warning: Work item is started before its predecessor work item is complete (see the image below). How to avoid this warning ? Thanks in advance, Marco Screenshot: |

Your screen shot was clipped at a point which might be interesting ...
the red-outlined item is a predecessor of another item (off the screen) .... what is the state of that off-screen item? Cheers, Geoff On 12/2/2010 4:23 AM, primeur.jazz.net wrote: Hi, |

Still shows up as clipped when I view it.
Note that I'm interested in the third line (i.e. the line below the one with the red mark and error message). Cheers, Geoff On 12/3/2010 5:53 AM, primeur.jazz.net wrote: Hi Geoff, |
Geoff,
the error message is about its predecessor (NOT about the successor). BTW the complete screenshot URL is: http://stodelat.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/reqplan-complete1.jpg Thanks, Marco |

Understood about what the error message said.
I did have some issues with pre-release versions of those features where the error message was wrong/misleading, and just wanted to make sure that wasn't the case here. Unfortunately, the full screenshot did not show me anything that looked wrong, so I don't have any ideas on what might be happening here. You'll probably want to engage with Rational support on this one. Here are some things to play with: - Try removing that predecessor dependency, and verify this fixes the error message. - Try transitioning the predecessor to some other "complete" state (perhaps a "validated" state?). - Try re-opening the predecessor, and then completing it again (in case there is some stale cached state in the web server). - Refresh your browser page between each operation. - Look at those other errors on that page ... are they the same message?
