IBM Rational Rhapsody 8.1.5

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Description
  ========
  
  - Project began using GMR in standard MSVC configuration.
  Makefile is generated to this project.
  Component contains - _linkTarget =
  "C:\\workspace\\91707\\RhapsodyProject\\Project\\DefaultComponen
  t\\DefaultConfig\\DefaultComponent.mak";
  
  - Project config is changed to visual studio config, MSVC
  project is created, and rhapsody code is regenerated. Makefile
  is generated to MSVC project folder.
  Component still contains - _linkTarget =
  "C:\\workspace\\91707\\RhapsodyProject\\Project\\DefaultComponen
  t\\DefaultConfig\\DefaultComponent.mak";
  
  - The component .cmp file should have removed this old
  linktarget entry since it was replaced.
  
  Steps to Reproduce:
  ============
  
  1. Create Rhapsody project in \TestArea\RhapsodyProject
  2. Add a class
  3. GMR the project. Note the DefaultComponent.cmp file has
  makefile pointing to
  \TestArea\RhapsodyProject\DefaultComponent\\DefaultConfig\\Defau
  ltComponent.mak
  
  4. Change the active config to Visual Studio config.
  5. Open MSVC2010
  6. In RHP, right-click the VS Config and create IDE project
  7. In MSVC, create empty project in \TestArea\MSVCProject
  8. In Rhapsody, Regenerate the code,
  9. Note the code is being generated to MSVC directory as
  expected
  10. Note the DefaultComponent.cmp file still has makefile
  pointing to
  \TestArea\RhapsodyProject\DefaultComponent\\DefaultConfig\\Defau
  ltComponent.mak
  
  This should have been replaced with the new makeifle location
  for this config.
  
  Business Impact:
  ===========
  Exposing the old file path has potential security implications
  for customer.
