Error description

• When you import an IBM Rational Rose model into IBM Rational
  Software Architect, the ' IRJA0172W '??Rose Message?? ?Message?
  foo( )' should be a(n) asynchCall or synchCall named foo.' '
  error results for a message on a sequence diagram that is valid.
  
  The following steps reproduce the problem:
  
  1. Create a Rose model with two classes A and B
  2. Add an operation 'foo' to the class B
  3. Add a sequence diagram
  4. Drop the two classes onto the sequence diagram
  5. Draw a message from the A object to the B object
  6. Assign 'foo()' to the message
  7. Save the changes and close Rose
  8. Import the Rose model into RSA
  9. Validate the model
  
  Result: The 'IRJA0172W '??Rose Message?? ?Message? foo( )'
  should be a(n) asynchCall or synchCall named 'foo.' error
  message appears, even though the message was a valid one in the
  Rose model.
  
  Workarounds:
  
  --?Right click on the error message ? Disable the 'Message
  signature' constraint
  OR
  --?Right click on the error message ? Fix the message name

  ****************************************************************
  In Rational Rose, the message name is set as operation name
  followed by parameter types in parenthesis and the same gets
  imported into Rational Software Architect. This name is
  invalid according to UML constraints in Rational Software
  Architect.
  

Problem conclusion

• This problem was fixed by setting the message name as just
  the operation name if such a pattern is detected.
  

Temporary fix
