APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
RDz 9.0 user has defined a set of custom rules for Software Analyzer. These rules can be exported to a .dat file, but when importing from the .dat file in another workspace, if the target workspace does not have the template rule definitions from the source workspace imported first, the import may partially work and fail to provide a failure message to the client. The Eclipse log will contain the following exception: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.ibm.rsaz.analysis.core.ui.model.DomainModel.importFromFile (Unknown Source) There should be a clear error message given to the user.
Local fix
The user should make sure the target workspace has the template rule definitions imported into the preferences before importing the rule sets which would eliminate the error.
Problem summary
When the Software Analyzer configuration rules tab imports rule sets containing custom rules not defined in the workspace, the import appears to fail completely with no update in the UI. No message is given indicating what has failed, and the rule tree is not updated to indicated the portion of the rule set athat was successfully imported.
Problem conclusion
Code was modified to (1) provide clear message on what failed in the import and (2) update the rule tree with the partially imported rule set. The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with IBM Rational Developer for System z V9.1.1.0 Refresh Pack which is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2294&uid=swg27006335
