PI84453: SE TOOLKIT, GENERATE SEQUENCE DIAGRAMS - "USE OPERATIONS INSTEADOF EVENT" NOT CONSIDERED

IBM Rational Rhapsody 8.3.0

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When creating sequence diagrams, it seems that now always
  operations are created between lifelines, not respecting the
  setting in the "Message Options / Use Operations Instead of
  Event". This only occurs if the messages are generated
  unrealized.

Problem conclusion

• Rhapsody API has a gap - it does not allow the creation of
  unrealized events - only operations. As a workaround the toolkit
  searches the model for any existing event and uses it to create
  a realized event message - then it removes the assigmnent so
  that the event is unrealized.
