Rational Rhapsody 8.1.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• While attempting an ARXML merge import, excessive memory
  consumption causes IBM Rational Rhapsody to hang.
  
  Additional Information:
  This was tested using Rhapsody 8.0.6 64-bit edition.
  
  SYMPTOMS
  
  After several hours 5GB RAM is consumed. The import does not
  complete and has to be forced to close.
  
  Steps to Reproduce:
  
  1. Create AUTOSAR Test Case
  - Open Rhapsody\Samples\Automotive\LightsManager model
  - Using API, clone ARPackage 'ARDesign' 500 times. For example,
  
    IRPApplication app =
  RhapsodyAppServer.getActiveRhapsodyApplication();
    IRPProject proj = app.activeProject();
    IRPModelElement el = app.getSelectedElement();
  
    for (Integer i=0; i? 500;i++) {
     el.clone('Test'+i, el.getOwner());
    }
  
  2. Export model to ARXML via Tools menu ? Export Autosar using
  default settings
  3. Open the exported ARXML file in a text editor and do a
  find/replace on'digitalOut' to 'digitalOutput'. Approximately
  20,000 changes should be made. The file shoud be approximately
  35MB in size.
  4. Attempt to re-import the modified ARXML file back into the
  modified LightManager model.
