PI39592: DiffMerge shows wrong differences in Rational Rhapsody

IBM Rational Rhapsody 8.1.5

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When comparing 2 models with DiffMerge tool you see a difference
  reported for a package in the browser tree. But no element with
  differences is shown.
  Reason is a trace dependency in abother package which belongs to
  a unresolved requirement which was originally located in the
  first package.
  defect:
  - a difference is shown in DiffMerge tool for 2 packages which
  are not different
  (workaround: diff the 2 packages separatly, which causes
  additional work)
  - the difference disappears when deleting a dependency in a
  totally other location of the model
  - there is no element shown which shows the difference, so you
  cannot rely on the diff/merge results.
