PI98073: <LANG_CG>::COMPONENT::PACKAGEEVENTIDRANGE NOT WORKING WHEN CALCULATEPACKAGEEVENTBASEID=ONCODEGENERATION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If two or more packages have the same EventsBaseID value, or
  values with overlapping ranges of each other, will that result
  in code generation errors?
  
  Making changes to Component's PackageEventIdRange and package's
  EventBaseID (with CalculatePackageEventBaseId=OnCodeGeneration)
  fails to update the event ids.
  
  You should only set the CPP_CG_PackageEventIdRange property at
  the component level. So the range setting itself cannot overlap.
  
  When a package is created, events IDs will be assigned in blocks
  of <PackageEventIdRange>, starting at <EventBaseID>. The blocks
  might not necessarily be allocated contiguously.  For example...
  a component is set to PackageEventIdRange=2000 and each package
  set to EventBaseID=1, the blocks could be 8000-10000,
  14000-16000, 2000-4000, etc...
  
  With the component set to
  CG::Component::CalculatePackageEventBaseId=OnCreatePackage, if
  you were to change the component's PackageEventIdRange value,
  the event IDs are not refreshed.
  With the component set
  CG::Component::CalculatePackageEventBaseId=OnCodeGeneration,
  changing the component's PackageEventIdRange value will force
  all the event ID in the below packages to refresh.
  This could add to performance overheads in large models during
  code generation so it is recommended to leave this at the
  default unless you are actively changing the EventsBaseId and
  PackageEventIdRange properties.
  
  It is recommended that a package's CPP_CG::Package::EventsBaseId
  does not exceed the value set at the component's
  CPP_CG::Package::PackageEventIdRange. This can force the
  starting event ID into the range of another package.
  
  PackageEventIdRange moved from
  <lang_CG>::Component::PackageEventIdRange
    to
  <lang_CG>::Package::PackageEventIdRange
    sometime before Rhapsdody 7.5.3 (I don't have good access to
  older History)
  but the move was cot complete and in case of
  CalculatePackageEventBaseId=OnCodeGeneration code generation
  look for the old property
  ( <lang_CG>::Component::PackageEventIdRange ) so you get the
  default "200" regardless of property value

Problem conclusion

• problem solved.
   if no CPP_CG::Component::PackageEventIdRange property exist
  Rhapsody use the CPP_CG::Package::PackageEventIdRange property.
