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.
