For information about updating or installing Manual Tester, including installation prerequisites, installing from a command line, and using a local repository on an HTTP server, see the installation instructions at http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/v7/rmt/70/docs/install_instruction/install.html. Please note that the Installation Guide has been updated for this release.
The following issues were listed in the Release Notes for version 7.0 and are now fixed in version 7.0.0.1.
On localized Windows operating systems, the tours now display properly in Brazilian Portuguese and Traditional Chinese. In Simplified Chinese, the tour displays in English. In Spanish, the tour does not work.
For information about known limitations, problems, and workarounds, please refer to the release notes for Manual Tester 7.0: http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/v7/rmt/70/docs/readme/readme.html
When you launch the product tour, it does not run.
Contrary to the Installation Manager online help and 7.0.0.1 product Installation Guides, you cannot use the Uninstall Packages wizard rollback feature; the rollback feature is not supported in Installation Manager Version 1.0.0.2.
The Rolling back updates online help topic indicates that you can use the Uninstall Packages wizard to revert to a previously installed version of a package. For example, if you install Rational Application Developer Version 7.0 and then update to version 7.0.0.1, the help topic states that you can use the rollback feature to revert to 7.0; this is not possible. Also, the Silent Install Commands online help topic indicates that you can use a rollback command during silent install; this command is not supported.
Workaround: In order to revert back to an earlier version of a package, you must uninstall the entire package; a single uninstall removes the 7.0 and upgraded 7.0.0.1 package. In the example, you would need to uninstall 7.0.0.1 and then reinstall the 7.0 package.
