PH30619: AUTOMATED WORKSPACE REFERENCE FIXUP PREFERENCE KEEPS APPEARING IN 9702. WAS NOT THE CASE IN 97.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The current behavior (in 9702 with fix PHPH25151) is that if a
  diagram is opened and if that diagram has elements belonging to
  other models, then the corresponding models are opened for each
  of the elements in the diagram.
  
  If the opened models have broken references, the Repair
  Workspace References dialog pops up for each of such models.
  
  The same behavior is seen if a model is opened in project
  explorer and a an element containing relation(which has link to
  an element in another model and that model has broken
  references) is expanded in project explorer.
  
  As part of fix for PH25151, broken references to non-existing
  projects are also shown now.
  
  So, if you have a lot of models which have broken references to
  non-existing projects, then you will see huge number of broken
  references and also we see many dialogs popping up (one for each
  of the element in diagram which belong to a model having broken
  references) when a diagram is opened.

  * Whenever a UML diagram is opened, all the models             *
  * corresponding to the referenced views in the diagram will be *
  * opened. If there are broken references, many broken          *
  * references dialogs are opened.                               *

Problem conclusion

• The issue is fixed with a preference option to switch the
  behavior. The preference checkbox option Window -> Preferences
  -> Modeling -> UML Diagrams -> "Hide broken references dialogs
  while opening a diagram", when checked, will not load the models
  corresponding to the referenced views in the diagram thereby
  broken reference dialogs will not pop up when a diagram is
  opened. When the checkbox is unchecked, the user will experience
  the old behavior wherein all the models corresponding to the
  referenced views in diagram are loaded and if they have broken
  references then corresponding broken references dialogs are
  shown for each of the broken reference models.
