PI84432: SYSML CODE GENERATION FAILS WHEN USING SUB-BLOCKS

IBM Rational Rhapsody 8.3.0

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• See attached model
  
  This describes the renamed blocks and actors in the system, the
  Block Definition Diagram (BDD) and the Internal Block Diagram
  (IBD), and the errors produced.  Any descriptions have also been
  removed.  I believe that you should still be able to understand
  this model.
  
  Drill down through the packages â ¦
  
  CMS_System_Pkg -> Architecture_Design_Pkg ->
  High_Level_Context_Pkg
  
  Perform a ⠜GMR⠝ on the component ⠜CMS_Sys_HL_Comp, with
  the configuration ⠜CMS_Sys_HL_Config⠝.
  
  The BDD describes that the CMS_System block has multiple sub
  blocks within it.  The IBD describes the ports and connections
  between these sub blocks.  All the system and sub blocks files
  (.hpp/cpp) compile correctly.  However, when the
  "High_Level_Context_Pkg" file is compiled it gives the errors
  shown.  The issue seems to be that at the package level the code
  generation of the model does not understand that the sub blocks
  are within the CMS_System block.  This is knowledge that the
  code generation should understand. Reviewing the IBD, the error
  occurs trying to connect any of the ports between the sub
  blocks, E.G between itsCU and itsOS, etc.
  
  This in my opinion is a code generation bug in Rhapsody, so we
  have sent this model to IBM support for them to investigate and
  confirm the error, and produce a work-around.
  
  I have tried a CLEAN, REGENERATE & even deleting all the
  .hpp/cpp file from the build directory, and regenerating the
  code.  The error is consistent throughout.

Problem conclusion

• The issue is partially fixed.
  1) It works for parts with multiplicity =1
  2) User should update connectors by disconnecting and connecting
  them again. This way graphic editor will initialize End1Path and
  End2Path tags, which are later used by code generator to
  evaluate full path of nested part.
