JR26895: CIRCLE M'S APPEAR WHEN IMPORTING AN RDA MODEL INTO RATIONAL ROSE, WHICH ORIGINALLY CAME FROM ROSE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If you start with a Rational Rose model that validates cleanly,
  then import that into Rational Data Archiect and then export it
  back to Rose, the model comes back with circle M's and duplicate
   unique ids.
  Below are the steps to duplicate this issue:
  1. Open your Rose model and perform a Tools -? Check Model
  note: there are no warnings
  2. Import the Model into RDA
   - Create a new Data Design Project
    - File -? Import -? Data -? Data Model Import Wizard
    - Select IBM Rational Rose 2000e to 2003 (MDL) for the Model F
  ormat
    - Select Logical for Model Type
    - Continue the import by taking the default options
  3. Export the model to Rose
  - File -? Export -? Data -? Data Model Import Wizard
    - Select  IBM Rational Rose 2000e to 2003 (MDL) for the Model
  Format
    - Type a .mdl extension when entering file name (i.e. myrosemo
  del.mdl)
    - If you select Basic Validity Check, the export fails.  Selec
  ting No Validity Check will work, however the issues with the Ba
  sic Validity check are probably related to the Rose circle M iss
  ue after exporting with No Validity Check.
  Note: No changes have been made in RDA
  4. Open the model in Rational Rose
  note: You will see the Cirlce M's on your diagrams
