PH02467: INCONSITENT BEHAVIOR OF MERGECANDIDATE IN ROUND TRIPPING.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Create a new basic model in rational rhapsody for C in 32 bit
  in code centric mode.
  2. Create a new class with an 'Operation' and generate code.
  3. Navigate to a class with 'Operation' and edit its arguments
  from code(*.c and *.h' by either adding a new argument or
  deleting an existing argument.
  4. Navigate to Code-> Round Trip and select 'Default Config'
  5. The existing operation is marked with '<<MergeCandidate>>
  stereotype and a new operation is created.
  6. Rightclicking both the old and new operation and selecting
  'RoundTrip Merge' retains the new changes on the function.
  -----> This is the expected behavior.
  7. Set the following property as mentioned at project level.
     Browser::Settings::ShowOrder = "True"
     Browser::Settings::DisplayMode = "Flat"
  8. Repeat the steps from 3 to 6.

  deletes the new version and retains the 'MergeCandidate'
  function.
