Local fix

• Error message "The parent of a folder cannot be set to itself
  or to one of its subfolders" means that some package indexes
  are not up-to-date.
  It is possible to rebuild those indexes, executing :

  <JAVA_HOME>/java -cp <ODM_HOME>/teamserver/lib/*:<ODM_
  HOME>/teamserver/lib/eclipse_plugins/*"  ilog.rules.teamserver.
  client.internal.RebuildBslnPkgTree
    -username <USER>
    -password <PASSWORD>
    -url http://<HOST>:<PORT>/teamserver
    -project <PROJECT>
    -baseline %current_key
  -----------

Problem conclusion
