Error description

• There are two bugs in this PMR. Both of them are related to the
  behavior change in Custom Mediation
  1. In 6.2, the input and output terminals of Custom Mediation
  are deducible. For example, if you wire out terminal to a typed
  X terminal, the in terminal will also gets the type X. However,
  in 7.5, type X will not be propagated to the in terminal. It has
  to be explicitly type. Since MFCFlow conversion didn't handle
  this special case, the customer is seeing some terminals become
  untyped after migration.
  2. Prior to 6.1, Custom Mediation did not support adding dynamic
  input and output terminals. Since MFCFlow conversion didn't
  handle this special case, the customer notices that the dynamic
  in terminal of the Custom Mediation is gone.
  
  The fix for this problem requires that the modules be migrated
  once again after this fix is applied.
  
  USER AFFECTED:
  User using Custom Mediation prior to 7.5, with multiple
  input/output terminals
  

Local fix

• None, the user have to manually recreate the missing terminals
  and wires
  

Problem summary

• Fixes planned for upcoming cumulative fixes for V7.5.1 and V8,
  targetting Q3 and Q4 2012, respectively.
  
  Fix plan,
  
  1. Handle the special Custom Mediation case to preserve the
  dynamic terminals
  2. Improve type propagation system
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix
