Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN
  ENOVIA
  Incident Diagnosis
  Inconsistent link status between VPM and CATIA
  for ref-ref an d contextual links
  Restriction Explanation
  Since Source was not saved, the identifiers of
  publication didn't change. So when you save result,
  it points a publication on which nothing has
  changed,so All is OK.
  You had a warning message when you saved the
  result without saving source. So we consider we
  prevent the user. We cannot do anything more.
