PK92519: Not all end-states are taken into account for parent/child check.

Rational Change 5.3

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A parent CR/PR can not be concluded if a child CR/PR is set
  to?the duplicate_not_reproducible or duplicate_rejected state.
  
  This is not the desired behavior as both duplicate states have
  to be considered as a valid end-state.?
  
  To fix it?we needed to modify the child
  verification?pre-condition trigger (checkRelatedAttr.pl)?being
  used in the lifecycle?. In the script, a list of valid end
  states is supplied to the script in command argument3 as per the
  commented description in the file itself...
  
  #??????????????????????? ?description?
  #?????????????????????????The allowed values of the attribute.If
  there is more than one value,
  #?????????????????????????use semicolon as a separator
  
  In?this specific case, this argument would have to include the
  above mentioned rejected states.
  

Local fix

• To fix it we needed to modify the child verification
  pre-condition trigger (checkRelatedAttr.pl) being used in the
  lifecycle . In the script, a list of valid end states is
  supplied to the script in command argument3 as per the commented
  description in the file itself...
  
  #                        <description>
  #                         The allowed values of the attribute.If
  there is more than one value,
  #                         use semicolon as a separator
  
  In this specific case, this argument would have to include the
  abovementionedrejected states.
  

Problem summary

• Not all end-states are taken into account for parent/child
  check.
  

Problem conclusion

• Fixed in Rational Change 5.3.
  
  The pre-condition trigger verify.js for the transition
  evaluated2concluded has been updated to allow parent CR to
  transition to concluded state if child CR is set to
  duplicate_not_reproducible or duplicate_rejected state.
  

Temporary fix

• Update the pre-trigger to evaluated2concluded in ECP_process.xml
  as follows:
  
  verify: bsf verify.js -ifattr
  "crstatus=probreject,forwarded,duplicate,concluded,duplicate_con
  cluded,rejected,not_reproducible,duplicate_not_reproducible,dupl
  icate_rejected" -rel child_problem
  verify: bsf verify.js -ifattr
  "crstatus=rcr_applied,rcr_rejected" -rel associated_rcr
