PI98085: DIFFMERGE DETECTS AN INCORRECT CHANGE ON DIAGRAMFRAME USING THE NEW XML FILE FORMAT

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• DiffMerge detects an incorrect change on DiagramFrame using the
  new XML file format.
  
  Firstly Rhapsody 8.3 ifix2 was used to migrate the file format
  from sbs to sbsx, then a change was triggered by changing the
  description of a package (which is a separate unit file).
  When comparing afterwards sbs and sbsx files, DiffMerge detects
  a change (which isn't really there) in every Diagram Frame
  inside the unit (however the diagram names have not changed, see
  screenshot).
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  1. Open the attached sbs and sbsx files as left and right in
  DiffMerge.
  2. Make sure that View -> Ignore Graphical Differences is
  disabled.
  3. Right click on a Use Case Diagram and select View All
  Diagrams.
  
  Result:
  
  There is a difference detected, even though none exists.
  
  Workaround:
  
  There is no known workaround.
