  SEVERITY
  JUSTIFICATION :
  2 cases where this is a
  problem:
  Option MS (example BA690T000192 A or A-1): MS
  contains 7 Action Items, 2
  contains an effectivity definition CR25-404, 3
  others the CR25-406 and
  the 2 remaining has a combination of
  both.
  
  
  A possible alternative would be to create a third
  effectivity definition
  that contains both  the CR25-404 and the CR25-
  604. This alternative is
  unaceptable due to the amount of work this will ask
  the users.
  
  
  The second case is with MS containing
  NIEOs:
  The case may happen where a MS contains at least
  3 Action Items that are
  NIEO:
  
  
  One would have an effectivity defined (detail part),
  another would have
  another effectivity (another detail part), finally the
  third would
  combine the first and second eff. def (a third detail
  part used in both
  effectivities)
  
  
  
  
  The alternative to create extra branches for range
  or specifications
  combinations can only be used when a CO contains
  a small amount of
  Action Items.  The methodoloogy requires
  duplication of work which will
  be irritant for the users.  Applying this methodology
  in a context where
  the users expect to work in a "matrix mode" is
  likely to cause user
  acceptance
  problems.

  Incident Diagnosis
  As described
  .
  Correction Explanation
  Changed code so that the error message does not
  get displayed and also changed the server code to
  handle the case where common condition is applied
  on different domains by two or more different ECO
  Effectivities. Currently distribution just wipes out
  whatever common condition is on the Action
  Associated Object and overwrites with what's on
  the latest ECO Effectivity it receives. We changed
  this to remove a domain common condition existing
  on the Action Associated Object only if we are
  going to update its effectivity with a new
  expression, otherwise if the domain of the common
  condition being distributed is not already present in
  the action associated object, then we add it (as
  opposed to replacing whatever the action had with
  the latest affectivity)
