PI84321: FLIP FLOWS FEATURE FAILS FREQUENTLY

IBM Rational Rhapsody 8.3.0

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Environment:
  
  Rhapsody 8.1.5 and 8.2
  
  
  Description:
  
  Using Rhapsody 8.1.l5, 8.2, as well as earlier versions.  On an
  IBD, we
  have Flows that are used to convey the flow of information.  In
  order
  to be able to generate documentation showing the flows, and
  their from
  to ends, we rely on the End 1 as being from, and end 2 as being
  to.
  The Flip Flow Direction feature seems helpful, until we see that
  the
  flow direction is changed without any notification or indication
  that
  it has changed.
  
  Heidi put together the attached document describing the problem.
  There
  are also two zipped models attached that show the problem.
  Heidi can
  speak to these models.
