PI64895: RE-IMPORT OF ARXML CAUSES ELEMENT DUPLICATION

IBM Rational Rhapsody 8.2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Importing a previously exported ARXML file causes duplication of
  model elements
  
  1) Create AUTOSAR 4.x project
  2) Export project to ARXML
  3) Import the ARXML file over existing project using "Update
  existing model elements..." setting
  4) Export project to ARXML for a second time
  5) Compare the two ARXML file in text diff merge

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * Rhapsody 8.1.5 iFix001                                       *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * The import operation is trying to match and merge existing   *
  * model elements with elements imported from ARXMLs.           *
  * Re-importing of ARXMLs might cause duplication of model      *
  * elements instead of merging with existing model elements due *
  * to the following:                                            *
  *                                                              *
  * 1) Some meta-data is added to imported unnamed elements,     *
  * based on their content, in order for them to match in        *
  * successive import operations.                                *
  * Unnamed elements might not match properly if the             *
  * corresponding meta-data is different (e.g., imported using   *
  * Rhapsody version older than 8.1.5)                           *
  *                                                              *
  * 2) In ARXMLs a single SwcToEcuMapping element may contain    *
  * many references to components and only a single reference to *
  * an ECU.                                                      *
  * In Rhapsody such SwcToEcuMapping is imported as many         *
  * swMapping elements (or SwcToEcuMapping elements in           *
  * Type-Based profile), each with one reference to a component  *
  * and one reference to an ECU.                                 *
  * Starting with 8.1.5, The name of the additional swMapping    *
  * elements which are imported is determined according to their *
  * content, and might not match properly with exiting swMapping *
  * elements in models prior to 8.1.5.                           *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *

Problem conclusion

• Fixed in Rhapsody 8.2 -
  1) Add the Property Boolean Model::Importer::IgnoreUnnamedIdData
  with "True" value to the Active Configuration, the Project or in
  some Properties file, such as site.prp, in order to allow to
  match unnamed elements under the same owner according to their
  order ignoring the corresponding meta-data.
  
  2) Add the Property Boolean
  Model::Importer::EnableContextTagAsName with "True" value to the
  Active Configuration, the Project or in some Properties file,
  such as site.prp, in order to allow to match additional
  swMapping elements with the corresponding elements imported from
  ARXMLs (according to their referenced component)
  
  Once the elements are properly merged - the Properties mentioned
  above are no longer needed to be enabled.
