Error description

• After migrating an IBM Rational Software Architect (RSA) model
  from v8.5.x to v9.5.x, your custom stereotypes disappear,
  depending on the feature you have installed within your RSA
  installation.
  
  If you install only the "UML Modeling" feature, the custom
  stereotypes will be visible.  However, if you install the "Java
  Standard Edition and Java Persistence API (JPA) graphical
  editing and transformations" feature is included with your RSA
  installation, the custom stereotypes will be removed in v9.5.x.
  
  In both cases, though, the following error message:

  RSA's behavior with respect to the appearance of the custom
  stereotypes should not depend on whether the "Java Standard
  Edition and Java Persistence API (JPA) graphical editing and
  transformations" feature is installed.
  

Local fix

Problem conclusion

• "When the ""Java Standard Edition and Java Persistence API (JPA)
  graphical editing and transformations"" feature is included with
  your installation, the RMP resource handler will be invoked.
  When there is an error while setting the feature value for
  certain type of stereotype properties, the resource load
  operation is terminated and causes the custom stereotypes to be
  not loaded properly.
  
  With the fix, appropriate message will be logged in the error
  log and the resource load operation will continue in the above
  scenario."
