Error description

• Hi RSA Dev,
  
  I would like to ask for assistance regarding an issue the client
  reported when exporting models to ecore format.
  
  Application: RSAD 9702
  Client Info:
  The client has been owrking on 3 projects with regards to this
  issue. The projects are as follow:
  com.accenture.fso.fsd.batch.RSA
  com.accenture.fso.fsd.gen.C1RMidTier.RSA
  com.accenture.fso.mdd.types.RSA
  
  He reported that initially, he was able to export the model
  (c1r) in com.accenture.fso.fsd.gen.C1RMidTier.RSA to ecore
  format. Now when he create a class called GenerateTest in the
  original project which is com.accenture.fso.fsd.batch.RSA, he
  wanted to move the 3 of the attributes from c1r to GenerateTest.
  
  After he moved those attributes, he associated the newly created
  class (GenerateTest) to the main class (GenerationJob)  and set
  the multiplicity to 1 and save the project.
  
  After saving, he go to com.accenture.fso.fsd.gen.C1RMidTier.RSA
  and tried to export c1r model but is now receiving errors. The
  client reported that this is working before and based from the
  error he sees, he cannot identify what went wrong.
  
  He wanted for this issue to be address the soonest possible so
  he can continue on his work or if we can suggest a workaround,
  in the mean time. He is also requesting if there could be a
  meaningful message on the error he is getting so it will give
  him a lead on where he can start checking.
