Random Range functions in ARD - returns minimum values one less than the ‘min’ value entered

Issue/Introduction

Random Range functions in ARD - returns minimum values one less than the ‘min’ value entered 

For example, the RANDRANGE function @randrange(min,max,width)@ some time returns a value less than a min value as in the below screenshot

 

 

The issue is that the function returns minimum values one less than the ‘min’ value entered e.g. min value ‘0’ includes -1 in the returned values; min value ‘2’ includes  1 in the returned values etc.

Environment

Release : 3.1

Component : AGILE REQUIREMENTS DESIGNER TFS INTEGRATION

Cause

ARD uses the functions which are available in TDM. The issue is happening because of using the GTService in TDoD Service URL to connect to TDM instead of TDMService for connecting ARD to the TDM.

Resolution

 In ARD, configuring TDoD Service URL to use the TDMService instead of GTService in TDM Portal version TDMWeb-4.9.270.0 or higher should resolve the issue.
