PM74971: SA 11.4.2 Copying SV-1 System(DM2) sybmols to SvcV-1 changes them to Desc symbols

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You are using IBM Rational System Architect 11.4.2 and you are
  making your SvcV-1 (Services View 1 Service Context Diagram),
  you tried copying over a bunch of symbols from your SV-1,
  including Performer (DM2) and System (DM2) symbols. The
  Performers copied over fine, but the Systems did not. They copy
  over as Description (DM2) symbols instead of System (DM2).
  
  Workarounds:
  Drag on System definitions from the Explorer or
  Draw Systems using Performer symbol on the SV-1.

  Any symbol not of a type supported by the target diagram is
  replaced with a rectangle.
  The 'Transform Symbol' symbol context menu is then made
  available, but this does not support transformation to the
  symbol types on this diagram.
  

Problem conclusion

• The underlying definition type is now checked and the first
  symbol type found that represents the same definition type
  is used to replace it.
