PI84730: RHAPSODY 8.1.5 CRASH IN LINUX

IBM Rational Rhapsody 8.3.0

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• I have a model with a class "MyBaseClass" ccontaining a
  Statechart. The
  Statechart have, among others, a state "StateX" and an event
  "eventX".
  The class is a generalization of 3 different classes "MyClass1",
  "MyClass2" and "MyClass3" which inherit the Statechart from the
  class
  "Base"
  I open the model, select "Blase" class; double click on the
  "Statechart" and delete the "StateX" and "eventX" from the
  model.
  I save the new model for further usage (and eventually close the
  Rhapsody).
  At this moment my expectation is that "StateX" and "EventX" has
  been
  completely removed from my model.
  (I reopen the Rhapsody and) type Ctrl+F to search for "StateX"
  or
  "eventX". I find there are occurrences of those in "MyClass1",
  "MyClass2" and "MyClass3".
  I click on the reference and Rhapsody crashes.

Problem conclusion

• The state remains because it was deleted from a base statechart
  and the the derived statechart is not being updated
  automatically.
  Once the user clicks on the state in the search results, the
  statechart is being updated against its base statechart and the
  state is being deleted.
  Fixed by adding safe programming.
