PI17810: Deleting a port from a read-write Class unit returns the error 'Cannot modify element with read-only owner'

Rational Rhapsody 8.1.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Deleting port from read-write unit with read-only parent cause
  error 'Cannot modify element with read-only owner' in IBM
  Rational Rhapsody
  
  Additional Information:
  
  The port that is selected for deletion does not belong to the
  read-only parent so it should not be causing an error. However,
  if the FlowPort has a type or the UML Port has a contract it is
  possible to delete it from the owner package.
  
  
  SYMPTOM
  
  The full error message is:
  
  Cannot modify read only element (or element with read only
  owner)
  C:\Rhapsody8.0.6\workspace\44594\Project_rpy\Default.sbs
  
  Steps to Reproduce:
  
  1. Create a new model
  
  2. Add a package, add a block/class to the package.
  
  3. Make them both units and set the package to read-only. The
  block/class stays read-write
  
  4. Add a port to the block/class. Rename the port. No error.
  
  5. Attempt to delete the port. Error above is shown.
  
  
  WORKAROUND
  
  Enable read-write permissions for the owner unit.
