PM84808: Rhapsody project unable to export to UML2.1 XMI

Rational Rhapsody 8.0.3
Rational Rhapsody 8.0.6

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Problem:
  By default the XMIToolkit allows 'unembedded' sysml profile only
  in uml2.3
  embedded sysml profile = sysml profile serialized into the
  exported xmi
  unembedded = sysml profile only reference by OMG standard URI
  Because the bundled SysML profile officially based on UML2.3 we
  consider that it is not correct to reference it on lower version
  of UML.
  The issue happens when the XMIToolkit tries to serialize SysML
  Profile into the xmi.
  
  2 Workarounds:
  1) staying with an export in UML2.3
  2) launching the XMIToolkit with specific parameters for forcing
  'embeddedSysMLProfile' to false
  
  workaround implementation:
  1) Open Rhapsody
  2) Tools?Customize?Helpers
  3) Duplicate the helper 'Export XMI from Rhapsody' by creating a
  new one 'Export XMI from Rhapsody UML2.1' and recopying each
  field (command, arguments, initial directory)
  4) add '-format uml21 -embeddedSysMLProfile false' in the
  commands field (see attached screenshot)
