PI76663: PROBLEM WHEN MOVING PORT FROM ONE CLASS TO ANOTHER CLASS.

IBM Rational Rhapsody 8.2.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• I am  having ports that have a reference to a class and at the
  class several ports are available. The ports of the objects are
  connected via links. Now I would like to move a port to a new
  class. This is working fine in the model tree via drag & drop.
  But then the link is no longer valid and is not shown in the
  diagram. So is there anyway I can move  not only the port , but
  also the link  to the new object.
  
  Existing behavior: When the port is moved from one class to
  other class , then link is not updated for the port. As a result
  it is not visible in the diagram.
  If you want to make the link with new object you need to do it
  manually.
  
  Concern: When the port is moved from one class to another class
  , then the port is referenced to the new class. But one end of
  the link is still pointing to the old object which is not
  correct as the port no longer belongs to that class.
  Hence  the link should be deleted from the port as this is not a
  valid link anymore.

Problem conclusion

• Fixed by removing the link once one of its ports was moved so
  the link is not valid anymore.
