PI53103: CONVERTING ACTIONS TO CALL BEHAVIORS RESULTS IN LOSS OF DEPENDENCY DATA

IBM Rational Rhapsody 8.1.5

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• On an activity diagram, create a Call Behavior and another
  element (Action, requirement - it doesn't matter)
  Create a dependency from the Call Behavior to the other element.
  
  Right-click on the Call Behavior and choose Convert To->Action
  
  You are given a message that "This conversion can result in a
  loss of data."  Click OK
  
  The Call Behavior is changed to an Action and the dependency is
  removed.
  
  This also happens if you convert an Action to a Call Behavior.

Problem conclusion

• Fixed in 8.1.5
  Fixed by preserving the dependency.
  As a limitation, the dependency is removed from the diagram, but
  can be added back manually by using the "complete relations".
