PM12344: RHP751, MSMAKE.BAT FILE IS NOT CREATED FOR RATIONAL RHAPSODY DESINGER FOR SYSTEM ENGINEER INSTALL OPTION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Client installed Rational Rhapsody Designer for System Engineer.
  When you install this edition you are not given the option to
  select your compiler or the development environment. This in
  turn disabled the creation of the msmake.bat file.  Client
  already has installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 before
  installing RHP.
  
  So, when the client tries to build his classes he gets the
  following:
  
  Building ------------  Test.exe   ------------
  Executing: ''C:\Program
  Files\IBM\Rational\Rhapsody\7.5.1\Share'\etc\msmake.bat Test.mak
  build '
  ''C:\Program
  Files\IBM\Rational\Rhapsody\7.5.1\Share'\etc\msmake.bat' is not
  recognized as an internal or external command,operable program
  or batch file.
  Build Done
  
  Client would like to know why the msmake.bat file is not created
  for the edition that he purchased. Manual creation of the file
  is a temporary workaround but this could impact a lot of users
  using other environments especially if they are not aware of how
  to get a msmake.bat file.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  1. Install Rational Rhapsody Designer for System Engineer 7.5.1
  2. Open the C++ CoffeeMachine sample.
  3. Build the model.
  

Local fix

• Sent client a msmake.bat file that was created on a local
  install for Rhapsody Developer C++

     DESINGER FOR SYSTEM ENGINEER INSTALL OPTION
  

Problem conclusion

• Fixed in version 7.5.3.
  
  Visual Studio 2005 is not automatically detected by Rational
  Rhapsody (which supports only Visual Studio 6.0 and Visual
  Studio 2008). The product has msmake.bat and ms9make.bat
  files in case Rational Rhapsody dioes not detect either
  version.
  
  If you want to work with Visual Stidop 2005 you need to
  modify the file ms9make.bat file and change the rem to the
  location where Visual Studio is installed. In Rational
  Rhapsody, you need to change the configuration to MSVC9.
