• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Thw 'UPIA Modeling' -> "Generate Resource Exchanges' command
  gets terminated due to the java.lang.ClassCastException
  mentioned in comment 3. Because of this reason, there will no
  summary dialog shown about the generation of resource exchanges.
  Please create an APAR so that we will handle this exception
  gracefully without terminating the Generation of Resource
  Exchanges.
  
  The reason for why this Exception is thrown in the customer
  model is as follows:
  In the Sequence diagram, 'Model Testing and Training::Model
  Testing and Training Architecture Description::Operational
  Views::OV-5b Diagrams::Disseminate ISR Information::Disseminate
  ISR Information::OV-6c Disseminate ISR Information', there is an
  'Asynchronous signal message' with name 'signal 1'  and
  Signature is set to 'signal 1'. Note the presence of this Signal
  signature causes the above exception.

  Workaround: If you remove this 'Asynchronous signal message' and
  recreate the same without setting the Signal Signature, the
  Generation of resource exchanges command continues and shows up
  the dialog without any error/exceptions.

  * The presence of 'Asynchronous signal message' with it's      *

Problem conclusion

• Now, the 'UPIA Modeling' -> "Generate Resource Exchanges'
  command continues without any issue even when there are
  'Asynchronous signal message' with it's Signature set to
  'signal' type etc. in the UML Sequence diagram.
