Table 1. Workarounds
Defect ID Description
80389

Simplified linking (drag or copy and paste) from Rhapsody® Model Manager to DOORS® Next is not supported when the Rhapsody Model Manager Project Area is configured with a source control management(SCM) Deliver precondition that requires all change sets to be associated with a work item

First occurrence: 7.0.3

Problem: Simplified linking (drag or copy and paste) from Rhapsody Model Manager to DOORS Next is not supported when the Rhapsody Model Manager Project Area is configured with an SCM Deliver precondition that requires all change sets to be associated with a work item.

Workaround: If this precondition is set, use simplified linking (drag or copy and paste) from DOORS Next to Rhapsody Model Manager, or use the legacy actions of creating the OSLC link from within Rhapsody Model Manager. In these workarounds, the Create Link dialog offers the ability to select a work item, which is required if the Rhapsody Model Manager Project Area is configured with an SCM Deliver precondition that requires all change sets to be associated with a work item.

63897

The v server and client require a locale setting for non-English support

First occurrence: 6.0.6

Problem: Rhapsody elements for non-English labels display incorrectly in the Rhapsody Model Manager web interface, unless the correct locale is set on the client machine.

Workaround: Manually set the locale on the client machine.

80459

When you are upgrading to RMM7.0.3, rebuild the full-text search indexes to search for architecture elements

First occurrence: 7.0.3

Problem: In Rhapsody Model Manager 7.0.3, the user is allowed to search for architecture elements in the OSLC link creation dialog and the quick search menu. If you are upgrading to Rhapsody Model Manager 7.0.3, the full-text search indexes must be rebuilt so that the search results include the architecture elements that were created before Rhapsody Model Manager 7.0.3.

Workaround: To rebuild the full-text search indexes after you upgrade to Rhapsody Model Manager 7.0.3, run the repotools-ccm -rebuildTextIndices command before starting the server. The reindexing might be a lengthy process and can take many hours for a large database. If an application is clustered, the reindexing procedure (by using repotools) must be performed on each node in the cluster. For more information, see Searching for model elements.

72564

Tables and matrix views in Rhapsody Model Manager do not display out-of-sync indications

First occurrence: 7.0

Problem: Unlike diagram views, table and matrix views in Rhapsody Model Manager do not include out-of-sync indications.

Workaround: To ensure that the information displayed accurately represents the current model data, follow the instructions in this document.

64640

The Associate Change Request action in Rhapsody requires a repository connection

First occurrence: 6.0.6

Problem: If you want to associate a change request with a Rhapsody Model Manager change set that is in the Rhapsody client, you must already have defined a Change and Configuration Management (CCM) repository connection in the Engineering Workflow Management Eclipse client. Otherwise, you get the following error:

Error while associating a work item to a change-set containing files: L:\Demo Sandbox\Model\Model_rpy; Pkg.sbsx

Failed to associate work-item https://server:9443/ccm/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/10 to change-set

Repository connection was not found for work item that is identified by the following URL: https://server:9443/ccm/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/10

Workaround: You need to create a new repository connection from the Engineering Workflow Management Eclipse client to the server that manages the work items:
  1. Open the Engineering Workflow Management Eclipse client.
  2. Create a new Jazz Repository Connection.
  3. Specify the URI path to https://<;server>:<port>/ccm/

64658

The Create Streams action for global configurations does not work for Rhapsody Model Manager snapshots

First occurrence: 6.0.5

Problem: If you include a Rhapsody Model Manager snapshot in a global configuration and you run the Create Streams operation from the Rhapsody Model Manager snapshot, you might get the following error message: CM provider does not support stream creation.

Workaround: Manually remove the old stream and add the new stream.

62565

The file path for the Rhapsody client on Windows is limited to 256 characters

First occurrence: 6.0.5

Problem: It's not possible to open and save a Rhapsody model to a path that is longer than 256 characters.

Workaround: Use a short path to the EWM sandbox folder to avoid reaching 256 characters.

62581

You cannot associate a change request when you delete an OSLC link from DOORS Next or DOORS

First occurrence: 6.0.5

Problem: When you create an OSLC link from DOORS Next or DOORS to Rhapsody Model Manager, you can associate a change request to track corresponding modifications. However, when you try to delete an existing OSLC link from DOORS Next or DOORS, you don't have this ability. This happens because these applications do not provide a dialog box where you can select a change request. If the Require Work Items and Comments precondition is selected on the server side for a project area, deleting the link fails with an error message.

Workaround: This workaround is available starting in 6.0.5 interim fix 001:
  1. From DOORS Next go to Rhapsody Model Manager by clicking the OSLC link that you want to delete.

  2. In Rhapsody Model Manager, delete the existing OSLC link, and then you can select a change request to associate with the change set.

Table 2. Limitations
Defect ID Description
72593

In Offline mode in Rhapsody, you cannot delete, rename, or move saved units

First occurrence: 7.0

Problem: While you can make changes to a model and save the changes in Offline mode in Rhapsody, you cannot delete, rename, or move saved units.

80387

The following limitations exist when you are generating reports for Rhapsody Model Manager in Report Builder

First occurrence: 7.0.3

Problems: Link validity data that is entered for Rhapsody Model Manager OSLC links before 7.0.3 is available for reporting in Report Builder. Data that is entered or modified in 7.0.3 is available.
  • The reports in the Report Builder will not include results that contain Rhapsody Model Manager Architecture Elements that are in a component that is owned by a user or a team area that has 'Team Private' visibility.
  • When you are generating reports in Report Builder for architecture elements from a project area that is not enabled for configuration management, ensure that all components in the Default OSLC Context belong to the same project area. This means a component from one project area that is not enabled for configuration management must not be used in another project area. This restriction ensures that each architecture element in the project area that is not enabled for configuration management has only a single version in the report.
  • External links that is, Non-OSLC links or links to arbitrary URLs on Architecture Elements are not available for reporting in Report Builder.
  • Use the Name or Label attribute in Report Builder to extract the Name or Label information instead of the Title attribute.
