JR27605: RDA: ORDER OF PRIMARY KEY ATTRIBUTES FOR AN ENTITY ON A DIAGRAM DOES NOT REFLECT THE ORDER IN THE PROPERTIES VIEW

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• In IBM(R) Rational(R) Data Architect, the order of primary key a
  ttributes for an entity on a diagram does not reflect the order
  in the Properties view.  For non-primary key attributes, the ord
  er on the diagram is the same as the order in the Properties vie
  w.
  Steps to reproduce:
  1.  Create a new logical data model in RDA.
  2.  Add an entity to the model (Entity1).
  3.  Add 3 attributes to the entity (att1, att2, and att3).
  4.  Create a new blank diagram in the model and drag and drop En
  tity1 onto it.
  5.  Select Entity1 on the diagram.
  6.  In the Properties view, click the Attributes tab.
  7.  Select att3 and click the up arrow to change the order of th
  e attributes in the Properties view to be att3, att1, att2.
  8.  Notice that this order is also changed on the diagram (as ex
  pected).
  9.  In the Properties view, make att3 and att1 Primary keys by s
  electing the Primary Key check box for each one.
  10.  Select att1 and click the up arrow to move att1 above att3
  in the Properties view.
  Results:
  The diagram is not updated to reflect this change.
  Workaround:
  Uncheck the Primary Key check box for each of the attributes in
  the Properties view.  Then, check the box again for each attribu
  te in the order that you want them to appear in the diagram.
