Rhapsody APARs Fixed with 8.2 iFix002

Improvements included in iFix002 for Rhapsody users

Code generation - location of descriptions for guarded operations

Prior to release 8.2., when C code was generated, the descriptions for guarded operations were generated in the implementation file rather than in the specification file. This issue was corrected in 8.2, however, the parts of the description that are taken from arguments and requirements were not included in the fix for the problem. In ifix002 for 8.2, this remaining issue has been corrected. To preserve the previous code generation behavior for models created prior to the 8.2 release, the property C_CG::Operation::UsePre821GuardedOperationDescriptionLocation was added to the backward compatibility settings for C with a value of True.

Note that if you plan to use this iFix with models that were created with Rational Rhapsody 8.2 or 8.2 iFix001, the updated backward compatibility settings will not be loaded automatically. If you want to retain the previous code generation behavior for such cases, you will have to add the property UsePre821GuardedOperationDescriptionLocation with a value of True in your site.prp file.

Rhapsody API - methods that cannot accept NULL as parameter

Prior to this release, when a NULL value was passed to an API method that expects a non-NULL parameter, the message "Element Deleted" was displayed. Beginning with this release, the error message that is displayed in such cases is "Invalid parameter".

iFix002 for Rhapsody 8.2 includes the following fixes, which were included in iFix001.

Rhapsody APARs Fixed with 8.2 iFix001

Improvements included in iFix001 for Rhapsody users

New command-line option added

-cmd=close_all_diagrams

This new command closes all diagrams that are currently open.

Shortcut list for graphic elements - improvements

All elements that can contain compartments now have a property called QuickNavigationCategory, which is used to compose the shortcut list. The property can include any of the following categories:

• MainBehavior
• MainDiagram
• Hyperlinks
• InternalBlockDiagrams (for SysML only)
• Diagrams
• StateCharts
• Activities
• References
• DiagramReferences

In addition, the shortcut list is now available on boxes in Structure mode as well (not just Specification mode).

The shortcut list can be enabled/disabled by modifying the value of the property General::Graphics::EnableQuickNavigation. After changing the value of the property, you have to refresh the diagram (F5) or reopen the model for the change to take effect.

Code generation - new property - FullQualifiedTypeName

The following properties were added to the C++ factory. If the value is changed to True, it forces generation of full qualified name. Note that to activate the fix for PI73079 (Namespace CG conflict causes truncated path in operation return type), you must add these properties to the site.prp file with a value of True.

Subject CPP_CG
	Metaclass Operation
	    Property FullQualifiedTypeName Bool "False"
	end 
	Metaclass Argument
	    Property FullQualifiedTypeName Bool "False"
	end
	Metaclass Attribute
	    Property FullQualifiedTypeName Bool "False"
	end
	Metaclass Relation
	    Property FullQualifiedTypeName Bool "False"
	end
end

Rhapsody API - errorMessage() and getErrorMessage() - change in behavior

Previously, the errorMessage() and getErrorMessage() methods would return the most recent error. So if a method call resulted in an exception, and you called additional methods afterwards, you could still get the original error, provided that the additional calls were all successful.

Now, the most recent error is cleared when a method is called successfully. So in order to get the error message, getErrorMessage() must be called immediately after the method that failed. This applies to:

• IRPApplication.errorMessage()
• IRPApplication.getErrorMessage()
• IRPModelElement.errorMessage()
• IRPModelElement.getErrorMessage()

Support for ReporterPlus in 64-bit version of Rational Rhapsody

In addition to the iFix files, a separate executable file has been provided for adding support for ReporterPlus to the 64-bit version of Rational Rhapsody. To add support for ReporterPlus:

1. Install the iFix according to the instructions in this document.
2. Extract the files contained in RhapsodyReporter82iFix2_X64.zip
3. Run the executable file that was extracted.

Conditional property syntax - additional options added

When using the conditional property syntax, you can now include the following options.

• $<Env::MY_ENV_VAR> - use to include the value of an environment variable
• $<INI::Section,VarName> - use to include the value of a variable from the rhapsody.ini file
• $<ProjectPath> - use to include the path to the .rpy file for the project
• $<ProjectName> - use to include the name of the project

Constraints, comments, and requirements - changes in appearance

For constraints, comments, and requirements in diagrams, minor changes have been made to the icon that is displayed in the corner of the element - in terms of the location and background color of the icon.

Applying the iFix

A number of steps in this section refer to the Share directory as being a subdirectory of the main Rhapsody installation directory. Note that if you performed a "split" installation of Rhapsody - meaning that you did not use the "Install all Rhapsody files in one location" option - then the Share directory will be located in the user home directory, for example, C:\Users\<username>\IBM\Rational\Rhapsody.
