APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• When importing a MAR file via the Compare/Merge (C/M) utility
  and accepting all changes, occasionally some connectors are
  omitted in the resulting process flows.
  This  has been seen since C/M was introduced.
  
  Attached are the support files and procedures client used to
  demonstrate this problem, plus the results.

  Reproduction Steps:
  Note Blue_Harmony_GT_Common_Elements.mar is basic project
  containing all Business Items, Resources, and Classifiers.
  1. Imported Blue_Harmony_GT_Common_Elements.mar and
  Create_Base_and_Trans_Contracts_BEFORE.mar into a new workspace
  2. Imported Create_Base_and_Trans_Contracts_IMPORT.mar via
  Compare/Merge.  You can see there are only 3 outgoing connector
  after that.
  3. Imported Blue_Harmony_GT_Common_Elements.mar and
  Create_Base_and_Trans_Contracts_IMPORT.mar, You will see there
  are 4 outgoing connector. So you will see that there is one
  outgoing connector lost in step 2.
  4. Create a new workspace and  Imported
  Blue_Harmony_GT_Common_Elements.mar and
  Create_Base_and_Trans_Contracts_BEFORE.mar into this workspace.
  5.  Imported Create_Base_and_Trans_Contracts_IMPORT.mar via
  Replace option. You will see there are 4 outgoing connectors. So
  Replace options works well.
