Error description
Environment: - Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP SP2 - Product name: Rational Software Architect 7.0.0.4, Rational Software Architect for WebSphere Software 7.5.3 Description of problem: The problem occurs when more code is removed from a user region than the distance between it and the following region. Step to reproduce: 1. Create a JET template 2. Add a two roundtrip sections where the first one contains qui te an amount of code between initialCode ?dptk:roundtrip?//BEGIN PROTECTION?dptk:initialCode? //TODO Implementation of business logic // some additional long comments sample Implementation code ?/dptk:initialCode?//END PROTECTION?/dptk:roundtrip? 3. Run the JET transformation 4. Change the text within the second roundtrip section of the ou tput generated by JET 5. Run the JET transformation again Result: Changes within the second roundtrip section are overwritten in t he generated output Workaround: Making the initial code as small as possible will reduce the lik elihood of the problem. If the number of characters in the initi al code can be made smaller than the number of characters betwee n the first user region and the next, then the problem will neve r occur. The 'edge case' to test is: remove all the initial code from the first user region and verify that the second region still funct ions correctly.
Local fix
Problem summary
JET-based transformations can delete content within dptk:roundtrip or c:userRegion sections after regenerating in the following limited situations: * The 'initialCode' portion of the user region is larger (in number of characters) than the distance between one user region and the next * User changes to the initial code reduces the size of protected region. In this case, subsequent user region content may be lost.
Problem conclusion
Fixed in release RSx 7.5.5.
