PI05148: INCOMPLETE FIX - IBM Rational Rhapsody Java API method generateReport produces HTML file instead of DOC

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Attempts to create a .doc file using the Java API method
  generateReport produces a HTML file instead when using IBM
  Rational Rhapsody.
  Abstract:
  When you use the Rational Rhapsody Java API generateReport
  method with .doc as the selected output, a .doc file is
  generated, but when you open it in a text editor you can see
  that it is actually a Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) file.
  Error Description:
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Create a Java file in Eclipse with the following code in the
  main method:
  IRPApplication app =
  RhapsodyAppServer.getActiveRhapsodyApplication();
  app.activeProject().generateReport('',
  'C:\\Rhapsody8.0.4\\reporterplus\\Templates\\Class.tpl', 'doc',
  'C:\\test.doc', 0, 1);
  2. Open a new project in Rhapsody and then run the above code.
  Expected Result:  The test.doc file created should be Microsoft
  Word and OpenDocument compliant.
  Acutal Result: The generated test.doc file is actually a HTML
  file with the .doc extension. You can see this by opening it
  inside a text editor, e.g. notepad.
  WORKAROUND:
  You can use the CLI for generating reports instead as shown
  here:
