PM31884: Generation via EGLCMD results in 'hanging' behavior

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Environment: Windows
  Product name: IBM? Rational? Business Developer
  
  Program Version    :  7.5.1.6
  Description.
  Running the EGLCMD option can result in hanging behavior while
  generating resources.
  The EGL generation of all parts appears to complete successfully
  but the launched EGLCMD does not return to the batch file (or
  command line).
  
  The behavior produces the following example output snippet from
  a running EGLCMD process:
  IWN.VAL.9996.i - 1/1 - Generation completed for MyServices with
  no errors.
  
  !MESSAGE Problems occurred when invoking code from plug-in:
  'org.eclipse.core.resources'.

  This behavior has been observed via a headless build setup and
  where run directly in the RBD project workspace.

  Intermitant hangs are experienced when using EGLCMD. These
  hangs can occur in several locations - sometimes they happen
  before the generation starts, sometimes in the middle of
  generation and sometimes after generation is complete.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been modified so that all generation requests
  for a given EGLCMD invocation are placed in a single Job.
  This job is run as a workspace modification operation.
  
  If hangs are still experienced this this change, creating a
  new worksapce and importing the projects may be required.
