APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Environment:
  IBM Rational Software Architect (RSA) 9.0.0.1
  IBM Rational Team Concert (RTC) 4.0.5
  Windows 7
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Configure IBM Rational Software Architect (RSA) to connect to
  IBM Rational Team Concert (RTC).
  2. Create 2 RSA workspaces connected to the same RTC Project
  Area
  3. Share one Model from one workspace into a Stream in RTC.
  4. Load the same stream from the second workspace, so that the
  same Model project appears in the Explorer
  5. Make changes from the first workspace and deliver them so
  they become visible as incoming changes in the second workspace
  6. In the second workspace, make also some changes, so that some
  conflict would appear.
  7. Check in these changes.
  8. Attempt to Deliver these conflicting changes.
  9. You will see a dialog that offers the option to Auto Resolve.
  10. Select Auto Resolve and you will get a dialog showing a
  NullPointerExcpetion.
  11. The detailed stack trace of the exception can be seen in the
  workspace\.log file:
