Error description
'the copies of all process of a plug-in' does not show the Workflow after closing RMC and reopen it, here an instance 'the copies of all process of the process.standard_RUP.base-ibm' does not show the Workflow Steps to reproduce the issue: 1. Steps using the customer library called '45441.800.624.lib.7.5.1.2.prac-Q12012'and attached: - create a new plug-in in a package example process.standard_rup. - select the process.standard_rup package and right click and select the 'New Method plug-in' item, it opens the window. - select the 'Create from existing method plug-in or package' option - next as default, the name of the plug-in is showed without the name of the package in front, like process.standard_rup_2 (as in point 2) but there is the plug-in name only that a rename in 'XXX' for example - the new plug-in 'XXX' will be created on the tree root becasue not specified any path by defaul as I said - a new configuration called 'standard_rup_ibm_2' is created - In this new plug-in XXX I open any process and select the 'Open Activity Diagram' function in the workbreak down structure, no problem I can see the diagram. - close RMC - open again RMC and select any process in the new plug-in 'XXX' - Select the 'Open Activity Diagram' function in the 'workbreak down structure' of a process and the diagram does not exist anymore and the message 'No diagram file exist for this process. Do you want to create one?' is showed. If RMC crashes when publishing the site or RMC is closed then next time you open it and select the 'Open Activity Diagram' function in the 'workbreak down structure' of a process the diagram does not exist anymore and the message 'No diagram file exist for this process. Do you want to create one?' is showed. This after any copy in the process. After the publishing the site does not have anymore the workflow in the 'Delivery processes-?Standard RUP' because it is connected with the missing diagram. see picture called 'standard RUP published default site' the one from the default site of RUP provided with RMC see picture called 'standard RUP published by customer library' to see what the customer does not see in the published site as result of the missing diagram Note: If I check the new configuration created 'standard_rup_ibm_2' in 'plug-in and package selection' tab I do not see checked the plug-in 'base-ibm' I used as copy but I have the plug-in created 'XXX' checked If I check the configuration 'standard_rup_ibm' in plug-in and package selection I do see checked the plug-in 'base-ibm' I used as copy Customer used this library we provided with he fixed issue in the plug-in unlocked(he exported all his plugins and imported them into this provided library with locked plugin.) http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/rationalsdp/v7/rmc/7512/pract ice_library/lib.7.5.1.2.prac.zip 2. I did the same steps using the prac7.5.2.1 default library. -selecting the process/standard_rup package I create a new plug-in from 'base-ibm' with the same option 'Create from existing method plug-in or package' (the package name shows by default process.standard_rup_2). The new plug-in created is called process.standard_rup_2.base_ibm. A new package called 'standard_rup_2' is created - In this new plug-in base_ibm I open any process and select the 'Open Activity Diagram' function in the workbreak down structure, no problem I can see the diagram. - close RMC - open again RMC and select any process in the new plug-in 'base_ibm' - Select the 'Open Activity Diagram' function in the 'workbreak down structure' of a process and the diagram does not exist anymore and the message 'No diagram file exist for this process. Do you want to create one?' is showed. After the publishing the site does not have anymore the workflow in the 'Delivery processes-?Standard RUP' because it is connected with the missing diagram.

Problem conclusion
RMC 7.5.2 provides a fix for this issue in standard single location libraries which are the most common cases. For workspace library cases, we created a work item "RATLC00434318: Handle process diagram copy for new plugin based on old plugin of a ws lib", and will fix it in the future release.
