Error description

• 'the copies of all process of a plug-in' does not show the
  Workflow after closing RMC and reopen it, here an instance
  'the copies of all process of the process.standard_RUP.base-ibm'
  does not show the Workflow
  
  Steps to reproduce the issue:
  
  1. Steps using the customer library called
  '45441.800.624.lib.7.5.1.2.prac-Q12012'and attached:
  - create a new plug-in in a package example
  process.standard_rup.
  - select the process.standard_rup package and right click and
  select the 'New Method plug-in' item, it opens the window.
  - select the 'Create from existing method plug-in or package'
  option
  - next as default, the name of the plug-in is showed without the
  name of the package in front, like process.standard_rup_2 (as in
  point 2) but there is the plug-in name only that a rename in
  'XXX' for example
  - the new plug-in 'XXX' will be created on the tree root becasue
  not specified any path by defaul as I said
  - a new configuration called 'standard_rup_ibm_2' is created
  - In this new plug-in XXX I open any process and select the
  'Open Activity Diagram' function in the workbreak down
  structure, no problem I can see the diagram.
  - close RMC
  - open again RMC and select any process in the new plug-in 'XXX'
  - Select the 'Open Activity Diagram' function in the 'workbreak
  down structure' of a process and the diagram does not exist
  anymore and the message  'No diagram file exist for this
  process. Do you want to create one?' is showed.
  
  
  If RMC crashes when publishing the site or RMC is closed then
  next time you open it and select the 'Open Activity Diagram'
  function in the 'workbreak down structure' of a process the
  diagram does not exist anymore and the message  'No diagram file
  exist for this process. Do you want to create one?'  is showed.
  This after any copy in the process.
  
  After the publishing the site does not have anymore the workflow
  in the 'Delivery processes-?Standard RUP' because it is
  connected with the missing diagram.
  see picture called 'standard RUP published default site' the one
  from the default site of RUP provided with RMC
  see picture called 'standard RUP published by customer library'
  to see what the customer does not see in the published site as
  result of the missing diagram
  
  Note: If I check the new configuration created
  'standard_rup_ibm_2' in 'plug-in and package selection' tab I do
  not see checked the plug-in  'base-ibm' I used as copy but I
  have the plug-in created 'XXX' checked
  If I check the configuration 'standard_rup_ibm' in plug-in and
  package selection I do see checked the plug-in  'base-ibm' I
  used as copy
  
  Customer used this library we provided with he fixed issue in
  the plug-in unlocked(he exported all his plugins and imported
  them into this provided library with locked plugin.)
  http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/rationalsdp/v7/rmc/7512/pract
  ice_library/lib.7.5.1.2.prac.zip
  
  
  
  2.  I did the same steps using the prac7.5.2.1 default library.
  
  -selecting the process/standard_rup package I create a new
  plug-in from 'base-ibm' with the same option 'Create from
  existing method plug-in or package' (the package name shows by
  default process.standard_rup_2). The new plug-in created is
  called process.standard_rup_2.base_ibm.  A new package called
  'standard_rup_2' is created
  - In this new plug-in base_ibm I open any process and select the
  'Open Activity Diagram' function in the workbreak down
  structure, no problem I can see the diagram.
  - close RMC
  - open again RMC and select any process in the new plug-in
  'base_ibm'
  - Select the 'Open Activity Diagram' function in the 'workbreak
  down structure' of a process and the diagram does not exist
  anymore and the message  'No diagram file exist for this
  process. Do you want to create one?' is showed.
  
  After the publishing the site does not have anymore the workflow
  in the 'Delivery processes-?Standard RUP' because it is
  connected with the missing diagram.

Problem conclusion

• RMC 7.5.2 provides a fix for this issue in standard single
  location libraries which are the most  common cases. For
  workspace library cases, we created a work item
  "RATLC00434318: Handle process diagram copy for new plugin
  based on old plugin of a ws lib",  and will fix it in the
  future release.
