PM49355: JAVA API CALLS, 'CHECKIN' AND 'CHECKOUT', DO NOT WORK AS DOCUMENTED.

APAR status

• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• Below is the syntax of the API calls, checkIn and checkOut as
  per the JavaDoc documentation available for the same.
  
  IRPApplication.checkIn(java.lang.String unitName,
  java.lang.String label, int isLocked, int isRecursive,
  java.lang.String description)
  IRPApplication.checkOut(java.lang.String unitName,
  java.lang.String label, int isLocked, int isRecursive)
  
  However, the above mentioned API calls do not seem to work
  correctly.
  
  Using the below sample code:
  
   IRPApplication myApp =
  RhapsodyAppServer.getActiveRhapsodyApplication();
   IRPProject myPrj = myApp.activeProject();
   System.out.println(myPrj.getName());
   IRPModelElement myEle = myApp.getSelectedElement();
   IRPUnit myUnit = (IRPUnit) myEle;
   System.out.println(myUnit.getName());
   myApp.checkOut('C:\\RhapsodyView\\Administrator_view\\RhapsodyV
  ob\\TestFlow\\TestFlow_rpy\\class_0.cls', 'class_0', 0, 0);
   //myApp.checkIn('C:\\RhapsodyView\\Administrator_view\\Rhapsody
  Vob\\TestFlow\\TestFlow_rpy\\class_0.cls', 'class_0', 0, 0, '');
  
  
  For the checkIn API call, we get a message in the Rhapsody's
  Output window, indicating that the checkIn operation is being
  performed; however, the unit is not actually checked-in.
  Similarly, for the checkOut API call, we get a message dialog
  box 'Operation Completed. See Configuration Management tool to
  obtain more information,'; but in this case also the unit is not
  actually checked-out.
  
  Attached are a couple of screenshots for your reference.
