Error description

  • Client is using RSA 8.0.4, they found following issue:
    
    -------------------------
    Product or Service: Rational Software Architect for WebSphere
    Software
    8.0.x

    Problem description
    
    Delete step in Workflows doesn't show unit name
    
    
    
    Steps to reproduce:
    
    
    
    1. Create/open a deployment topology in RSA with at least one
    unit in a
    'to be uninstalled state'.
    
    
    
    2. Generate a workflow for this topology against a matching
    automation
    signature
    
    
    
    3. Observe that, unlike steps to install units, the delete step
    in the
    workflow does not show the affected unit name in brackets
    
    
    I've attached a screenshot showing a workflow with 3 steps.
    These were
    generated by matching a local queue unit against signatures for
    the
    following states: 'to be installed', 'unknown-?installed' and
    'to be
    uninstalled'.  In the workflow tasks list you can see that the
    name of
    the queue object appears for the MQ_LOCAL_CREATE and
    MQ_LOCAL_ALTER
    steps in brackets, but doesn't appear for the MQ_LOCAL_DELETE
    step.
    While yes, if you select the MQ_LOCAL_DELETE step you can see
    the name
    of the affected unit, it would be more consistent and convenient
    if the
    name of the unit appeared in brackets in the step name as it
    does for
    the other steps.
    -------------------------
    
    I'm able to reproduce the issue with RSA 8.5.1, create 2
    automation signature, one for install and one
    for uninstall, create 2 topologies, after workflow created, the
    uninstall task does not have indication like
    '(.....)' in name;

    ****************************************************************
    In the generated workflow, the tasks related to 'to be
    uninstalled' state units are not showing the unit name.
    

Problem conclusion

  • In the generated workflow, the tasks related to 'to be
    uninstalled' state units will now show the unit name
    properly.
