IZ96857: OBJECTS MISSING FROM PROMOTION AND EXPORT OPERATION WHEN RELATIONSHIP EXISTS BETWEEN TWO GOVERNED COLLECTIONS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If a governed collection is being exported or promoted and there
  is a relationship from this governed collection to an object
  that exists in a second governed collection and that target
  object is not the root governed object of that second collection
  then the export will not contain the correct objects.
  
  I there are no relationships from the objects in the governed
  collection being exported to the root governed object in the
  second collection then only the objects that are related to the
  exported governed collection will be exported/promoted.
  
  Consider this scenario:
  Create A,B, X and Y
  setup relationship AtoB and XtoY
  Govern A
  Govern X
  Add relationship BtoY
  
  You now have two governed collections Gov(A,B) and Gov(X,Y)
  
  When you export A you will get Gov(A,B) and Y (Y is no longer in
  a governed collection) but you won't get X at all.
  
  You should get Gov(A,B) and Gov(X,Y).
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• During export and promotion an incomplete graph of objects was
  being created under some circumstances when objects from one
  governed collection had relationships to objects in another
  governed collection.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix was made so that the entire governed collection in which
  an ojbect exists is exported/promoted if that object is the
  target of a relationship from another object in another governed
  collection that is being exported/promoted.
  
  This fix will be shipped in v7.0.0.4
