Known problems

When you generate a document, performance might degrade. If the document specification contains more tables than paragraphs or lists, to improve performance, use the native filter and sort rather than the RPE filter and sort, and avoid multiple passes over the same data.

Additional known problems are documented in the form of individual technotes in the Support knowledge base. As problems are discovered and resolved, the IBM Support team updates the knowledge base. By searching the knowledge base, you can quickly find workarounds or solutions to problems.

Important: The TPE_PUBLISH license feature is not supported from Rational Publishing Engine V1.1.1.2. release. Use RPE_PUBLISH license feature in place of TPE_PUBLISH license feature.
