PH00206: CLEAN REDUNDANT SOURCE FILES DOES NOT REMOVE EARLIER GENERATED "USEASEXTERNAL" FILES/CLASSES

IBM Rational Rhapsody 8.4

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When changing a file or a class in Rhapsody in C to be external
  ("UseAsExternal" property = true)
  and that file has been created before by the code generator,
  it is currently required to manually delete the file earlier
  generated file from the file system.
  
  The Clean Redundant Source Files menu entry will not ask if they
  shall be deleted.
  
  So the external property only stops Rhapsody from generating the
  file
  
  When I set UseAsExternal in CG.Package only, it does't cleanup
  files.
  
  In addition, it is impossible to cleanup package files and also
  generate class files under this package.
  If I switch off this property on nested classes, cleanup of
  package doesn't work
