Error description
Environment: RSA 8.5.1 Windows Reproducible: Yest Description of problem: After you moved a guard condition of one combined fragment to another in a sequence diagram in Rational Software Architect (RSA) 7.5.x, the diagram won't open in RSA 8.5.1, and you receive the following error: Could not open the editor: com.ibm.xtools.uml.ui.diagrams.sequence.internal.editparts.Inter actionOperandEditPart incompatible with com.ibm.xtools.uml.ui.diagrams.sequence.internal.editparts.Combi nedFragmentEditPart Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a model in RSA 7.5.x 2. Create a sequence diagram with combined fragments. 3. Move a guard condition of one combined fragment to another 4. Open the model in RSA 8.5.1 5. Try to open the sequence diagram 6. Notice the error message. Workaround: The only workaround is to delete the diagram and to recreate a canonical one. However, with this workaround you will lose layout and comments.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When the customer's diagram from 7.5.x is opened in RSA 8.5.x, a classcast exception is thrown. Could not open the editor: com.ibm.xtools.uml.ui.diagrams.sequence.internal.editparts.I nteractionOperandEditPart incompatible with com.ibm.xtools.uml.ui.diagrams.sequence.internal.editparts.C ombinedFragmentEditPart
Problem conclusion
The actual issue of the classcast exception, when the diagram from 7.5.x is opened in Rational Software Architect 8.5.x, has been fixed. To prevent the stereotype migration popup dialog from hanging the product when 7.5.x customer's diagram is opened in 8.5.5.1, the user has to uncheck "Frame always fits contents" prefernce in Modeling ? UML Diagrams only for the first time when the diagram is opened. Once the diagram is migrated, he can check the preference and there wouldn't be additional issues when reopening the diagram.
