PM04767: FAILURE TO BUILD BROKER ARCHIVE FILE WHEN MAP PROJECT, MESSAGE FLOW PROJECT AND WORKSPACE ARE IN DIFFERENT ROOT DIRECTORIES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A Message Broker Toolkit failure occurs when building the Broker
  Archive file when WebSphere Transformation Extender (WTX) Map
  Project, WebSphere Message Broker (WMB) Message Flow Project and
  Workspace are all located in different root directories.
  
  Building the Broker Archive .bar file fails when the WMB Message
  Flow Project files are one directory path / workspace and the
  WTX Map Project files are located in a different directory path
  / workspace with both projects outside of the current workspace.
  
  The WMB Message Flow Project directory and the WTX Map Project
  directory were imported using the using "File > Import >
  Existing Projects into Workspace" method where the associated
  WebSphere Message Broker (WMB) Project files are not copied into
  the local WMB Workspace.  The "Copy projects into workspace" is
  not checked or selected when importing the projects.
  
  The reported problem can be recreated when the WMB Message Flow
  Project files are located one directory path and the WTX Map
  Project files are located in a different directory path with
  both project directories outside of the current workspace
  directory.
  
  The following error is reported when building the Broker Archive
  .bar file:

  Results of addition to the bar file:
