• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In IBM Rational Software Architect (RSA), the UML-to-WSDL
  transformation enables you to include 'import' statements from
  derived types.
  
  However, the resulting XSDs will then include 'imports' that
  should not be included.  This happens for both the UML2XSD and
  UML2WSDL transformation.
  
  As a result, 'XSD: The location '[XSD file]' has not been
  resolved because the import is unused' warnings appear and
  circular XSD imports are also possible.  If this happens, you
  will not be able to import the XSDs into tools such as IBM
  Business Process Manager.
  
  The workaround is to manually modify the XSD to remove
  superfluous imports.

  ****************************************************************
  In UML-to-WSDL/UML-to-XSD transformation if user selects the
  option to generate derived types of referenced types, imports
  statement for all the derived types gets added in the xsd
  schema. This may result in circular XSD imports and unused XSD
  import validation warnings.
  
  An option in properties page of transformation configuration
  editor has been provided to select if user wants to add imports
  for the derived types or not. The default option is set to false
  in which case no imports for derived types would be added in the
  schema.
  

Problem conclusion

• An option in properties page of transformation configuration
  editor has been provided to select if user wants to add imports
  for the derived types or not. The default option is set to false
  in which case no imports for derived types would be added in the
  schema.
