Error description

  • Attempts to place inside symbol another symbol on your diagram
    the embeds relationship, is not refreshed as demonstrated by the
    explorer diagram in IBM Rational System Architect.
    
    SYMPTOM
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Create a diagram the utilizes "embeds" relationship on
    definitions of symbols
    2. Place a symbol on the diagram
    3. Place a symbol inside the other symbol
    4. Save the diagram
    5. Create an Explorer Diagram
    6. Place the definition of the first symbol on the Explorer
    Diagram
    7. Use "Show Immediate Relatives"
    
    Expected Result:
    The relationship  line to draw out to an embedded symbol,
    because the relationship should be shown on population of the
    Explorer diagram after saving the diagram was supposed to save
    the relationshp in the definitions.
    
    Unexpected result:
    The relationship is not explored, indicating the relationship
    does not exist (or not yet defined) despite it being created on
    the diagram at step 3 above.
    
    WORKAROUND
    After step 4 above, move the embedded symbol and save again to
    create the relationship.
    
    Note:
    Using "Auto-Define" in your Preferences or the "Refresh" menu on
    the Explorer Diagram does not help.
    That is because these are not related to the problem. See
    Expected Result.
