PM42204: Documentation for renaming files in Configuration Management not available for Rhapsody 7.5.3

Rational Rhapsody Fix Pack 1 (7.6.0.1) for 7.6

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In Rhapsody 7.5.2 two units can't have the same name, e.g.
  test.sbs. Instead a unit that is created with the same name as
  an existing unit is renamed, e.g. test_1.sbs.
  
  However this is not the case in Rhapsody 7.5.3. In 7.5.3 a unit
  created with the same name as an existing unit is moved to a
  sub-folder, but keeps the name it was given, e.g. test.sbs and
  test/test.sbs.
  
  The problem is that this behavior was not recorded in
  documentation, although it led to problems with Configuration
  Management between two versions of Rhapsody which were
  documented to have the same behavior with regards to renaming
  units with the same name.
  
  An example of this can be seen if you pass a project from 7.5.3
  to 7.5.2 using Clearcase. This causes problems using diffmerge
  in 7.5.2 as files are renamed when getting a revision.
  
  Can information showing the different behavior of handling units
  with the same name be provided in Rhapsodys documentation
  please.
