PI67446: HARMONY TRADE EXCEL SHEET WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE BROWSER

IBM Rational Rhapsody 8.2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• After creating the trade analysis excel file using the Harmony
  Trade Analysis tool, Rhapsody places the excel file in the
  Controlled Files folder in the Rhapsody browser.  However, when
  trying to open the files from the Rhapsody browser a "File not
  Found" message is received.
  
  When using the SE-Toolkit to create the Trade Analysis Excel
  spreadsheet from a BDD, it creates the spreadsheet and stores it
  in the models RPY folder, at the top level. However, the model
  element that it creates in the Rhapsody browser is under the
  Controlled Files metaclass at the same level as the BDD is
  located.   When you double-click on the element, it does not
  find the file because it expects it to be in that lower level
  Controlled Files location. The other hint is that the element
  shows as unresolved in the browser (U).
  
  If you right click on that element and load the unit, you can
  browse to the file located at the top level of the model, open
  it and confirm that you want it copied to the model. It does not
  really copy it anywhere since it is already in place, but it
  does update the pointer.
  
  Then you can double-click on the element and it opens the
  spreadsheet in Excel.
  
  Steps to reproduce
  
  In the attached model, there are 2 BDDs at different levels in
  the hierarchy.  The DefaultDirectoryScheme property is set to
  PackageAsDirectory.
  
  Open block definition diagram_0 in DesignSynthesisPackage.
  Right-click on it and select SE-Toolkit->Trade Studies->Perform
  Trade Analysis.
  Report will be generated and controlled file will be added into
  the DesignSynthesisPackage.
  You can double-click on the controlled file to open it.
  
  Open block definition diagram_new in
  DesignSynthesisPackage::package_6.
  Right-click on it and select SE-Toolkit->Trade Studies->Perform
  Trade Analysis.
  Report will be generated and controlled file will be added into
  package_6.  But, it will be marked as unloaded (U).
  If you double-click on the controlled file, you will receive an
  error message "File not found."
  
  If you look at the files, the spreadsheet for block definition
  diagram_new is created at the top level of the model, not in the
  package_6 directory.  The controlled file link is looking in the
  package_6 directory.
