Error description

• When using the XML mapping editor in Rational Software Architect
  v8.0.4, it was possible to use
  the 'Documentation' properties page to add documentation to a
  transform
  such as 'Move' in the form of a string.  After upgrading to
  Rational Software Architect v8.5,
  the documentation that was added in the previous version was no
  longer
  visible on the 'Documentation' properties page for the mapping.
  The
  problem is a result of the fact that the serialized format for
  
  documentation in the .map file was changed and the older format
  is not
  being properly migrated to the new format.
