PM35020: cannot create view in ReqWeb with external project using the direct link trace-to

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Create two access-based projects A and B connected via
  external-project-facility.
  Create requirementtype FEAT in project A.
  Create requirementtype CR in project B.
  Allow External Traceability in both requirementtypes.
  Logon to project A via ReqWeb.
  When creating a view showing all requirements of type B.CR
  directly traced-to A.FEAT the system shows the error message.
  Same issue is for Traceability Tree (Traced out off) and (Traced
  into) views
  
  Error setting view property string:
  
  Query Engine returned an error. Unknown external project:
  
  com.rational.rjcb.ComException: HRESULT=0x80040488:
  ReqPro40.Query.
  QueryKeyString
  (Let)-?ReqPro40.Query.ValidateQuery_-?ReqPro40.Project.
  QueryValidate_: Query Engine returned an error. Unknown external
  
  
  Step to reproduce:
  Just create two access-based projects A and B connected via
  external-project-facility.
  Create requirementtyp FEAT in project A.
  Create requirementtyp CR in project B.
  Allow External Traceability in both requirementtypes.
  Logon to project A via ReqWeb.
  Select 'Attribute Matrix' for example
  Select 'Row Requirement type' the value to the external project,
  in this case B.CR
  Select Filter
  In 'Attribute' column go to row 'Trace -to' and select the value
  'Trace-to' for the 'Opearator' column
  In Requirement type select the requirement type in your project,
  in this case FEAT
  Depth must be with value directly.
  Submit =? error appears
  
  Same issue is for Traceability Tree (Traced out off) and (Traced
  into) views
  
  Workaround:
  Use ReqPro client

  In RequisiteWeb, user can not create attribute matrix views
  with external project when attribute "Trace to" point to a
  local requirement type.

• Added validations in RequisiteWeb code to display correctly
  Requirements in Attribute Matrix Views with Trace-To local
  relationships.
