Error description
Environment: - RSA 8.5.1 - BIRT 2.6.2 (included in RSA) - Windows XP Reproducible: Y Description of problem: The generation of a report that makes use of an activity diagram which is very wide and not opened in an editor during the generation will result in a corrupt image of the diagram in the report, where parts of the diagrams are missing. This doesn't happen when the diagram is opened in an editor or when it is not wide enough. Steps to reproduce 1) Create an activity diagram that is extremely wide (at least wider than the editor's view) and that contains activities and flows outside the editor's window. 2) Create a birt report template that will use the included diagram as a data source. See this page for a tutorial: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/rsahelp/v8/index.jsp?topic=/co m.ibm.xtools.gs_using_rsx.doc/topics/c_gs_birt_reports.html 3) Close the diagram 4) Generate the report and notice that on the right side of it, some flows are missing. 5) Open the diagram 6) Generate the report and see that it's properly generated. Workaround To prevent this issue from happening, you need to make sure that the Activity Diagram is opened in an editor while the report is being generated.
