PI73079: NAMESPACE CG CONFLICT CAUSES TRUNCATED PATH IN OPERATION RETURN TYPE

IBM Rational Rhapsody 8.2.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In a situation where two types with different namespaces are
  referenced, Rhapsody is truncating the fully qualified namespace
  in operation return types. This is causing compiler errors.
  
  There is a workaround to create a type model element using
  #define to declare the fully qualified namespace. This can be
  used as the operation return type to resolve the issue. However,
  this is not practical in large scale projects. See attached
  "HardModelled" project.
  
  Ideally there should be a property that forces Rhapsody to
  always generate fully qualified namespaces in operation return
  types.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * Rhapsody generates short type name when possible. In same    *
  * rare cases it may cause compilation error. Such as if there  *
  * are two classes with same name in different namespaces, and  *
  * the first class member get used from class that inherite     *
  * from the second one.                                         *

Problem conclusion

• A new property is introduce to allow force CG full qualified
  type name. To force full qualified type name override with True
  one of the bellow properties as appropriate:
  CPP_CG:Operation:FullQualifiedTypeName
  CPP_CG:Argument:FullQualifiedTypeName
  CPP_CG:Attribute:FullQualifiedTypeName
  CPP_CG:Relation:FullQualifiedTypeName
