PI97956: XMI IMPORT USING "AUTOMATIC MERGING" IS NOT FUNCTIONING

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Attempt to use the "Automatic merging" after modifying the XMI
  option
  
  It incorrectly creates a second model in the Rhapsody browser
  ("TMPProject") instead of a merged model.
  
  It seems recent Rhapsody changes in the default file format
  (sbsx instead of sbs), means the feature requires to save first
  the project in 8.2.1 version, causing this problem

Problem conclusion

• Automatic merging was using a temporary project out of date.
  The mechanism is now different since a fresh new temporary
  project is always created.
  In addition, a roundtrip issue was transforming a Relation to an
  Attribute. Since the relation was displayed as an Edge, that was
  creating instabilities after merging.
