Why are the class stereotypes "boundary", "control" and "entity" not recognized by Rational XDE when migrating a Rational Rose model ?

Resolving The Problem

QUESTION:

Why are the class stereotypes "boundary", "control" and "entity" not recognized by Rational XDE
when migrating a Rational Rose model ?

If one tries to convert a rose model (.mdl) containing classes stereotyped as "boundary", "control"
or "entity" and assigned to the "Analysis" language, the XDE model (.mdx) will not display
the class stereotype correctly.

ANSWER:

In Rose, the "boundary", "control" and "entity" stereotypes are represented starting with a lowercase
letter.
In XDE they are represented starting with an uppercase letter.
When the class is not assigned to any particular language (i.e. to Analysis), the model conversion fails.
The issue has been reported witht the following recordID:
RATLC00230574: "Rose/XDE.Net: Migration of analysis classes stereotyped as control, entity or
boundary fails in some circumstances"

A possible workaround is to run the following script in Rose in order to change the stereotype name
to uppercase so it can be recognized by Rational XDE.

' -----------------------<BEGIN SCRIPT>--------------------------------
' Script to workaround the UpperCase/LowerCase mismatch
' between Rational Rose 2002.05.20 and Rational XDE 200.05.20
' of the stereotypes:
' <<entity>> <<control>> <<boundary>> stereotypes
' The script will change to Uppercase the stereotype name
' in Rational Rose in order to successful import it the model
' in Rational XDE afterwards.

For i = 1 To theModel.GetAllClasses().Count
Set theClass = theModel.GetAllClasses().GetAt (i)
