Error description
225966 Setting the DMCA in a Rhapsody/Eclipse model to 'None' is not saved. Setting it to 'Bidirectional, Roundtrip, or Code Generation' will be saved. An example would be that if you open a model and the DMCA is set to 'Roundtrip' and you set it to 'None', save, then close the model, and reopen it the DMCA will still be set to 'Roundtrip'. This functionality works perfectly when using only Rhapsody. It is the Rhapsody/Eclipse integration that has the problem. There is also some confusion in the documentation/help for property 'ModelCodeAssociativityFineTune'. It states that the possible values are 'Bidirectional, Roundtrip, Code Generation, and None'. However, 'None' is not available from the dropdown menu. If you set the DMCA to 'Roundtrip, Code Generation, or Bidirectional' and save, the corresponding value will be displayed in the 'ModelCodeAssociativityFineTune' property. However, setting the DMCA to 'None' is not displayed in the 'ModelCodeAssociativityFineTune' property. Whatever value displayed before the change to 'None' will still be displayed. This is causing confusion at both the customer and support level. When using Rhapsody alone and the DMCA is set to either 'Bidirectional, Roundtrip, or Code Generation' the rhapsody.ini property of ModelCodeAssociativityMode will be set to 'Dynamic'. Setting the DMCA to 'None' will cause this property to be set to 'Batch'. Should this property change values based on the DMCA setting in the Rhapsody perspective in Eclipse? Changing the DMCA in Eclipse has no affect on the .ini file in Rhapsody.
Local fix
If "None" is required for Rhapsody/Eclipse integration it must be reset to "None" every time the model is opened.
Problem summary
Rhapsody / Eclipse does not save DMCA when set to "None" (PMR 40600442000 - APAR PK93233).
Problem conclusion
Fixed in 7.5.1
Temporary fix
