PI79691: CHANGING PROPERTY NAMESREGEXP DOES NOT APPLY TO USECASE AND ACTOR

IBM Rational Rhapsody 8.3.0

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• I changed property NamesRegExp to ".+" to allow user to give any
  kind of string to model element name. It works for classes,
  packages, etc.,but it does not apply to usecase and actor
  naming.
  String used : "A/C"
  Use case :
  For class : "A/C" string is allowed . (It will give error while
  user will try to save as unit and with illegal character it wont
  compile either but customer do not want to generate any code for
  compilation and set  units at package level only)
  For usecase/Actor : "A/C" is not allowed while renaming it .
  Both the element can be saved as unit but the restriction is not
  consistent . Hence I feel the naming restriction should be
  consistent for all the element .

Problem conclusion

• New General.Model.NamesForbiddenCharacters property is added.
  This property controls name creation for those model types,
  which are not controlled by NamesRegExp property. See Rhapsody
  Help for more details. The property works only if it is locally
  overridden on project level.
