PI82993: "CREATING .HEP FILES FOR THE PLUG-INS" DOC PAGE IS MISLEADING WITH ARGUMENTS FIELD

IBM Rational Rhapsody 8.3.0

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The page "Creating .hep files for the plug-ins" mentions that
  you can use the arguments field in a helper file to pass
  arguments to a plugin. However, this is misleading as it implies
  that the argument is passed internally to the plugin code,
  whereas in fact the argument is passed to the COMMAND LINE.
  Please explicitly state that the "argument" is a "command line
  argument" to avoid ambiguity.

Problem conclusion

• Changed the description of the "arguments" option to:
  
  -arguments - use this option to specify command-line arguments
  that should be appended to the command that you specified with
  the command option in the .hep file.
