PM75894: WARNING IRJF0032W Unable to resolve reference to class null by Object null.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Environment:
  
  IBM Rational Software Architect 8.0.2 and 8.0.4.1.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  - Import a Rational Rose model that shows errors like:
  
  06:46:16|  Error: Unresolved reference from Package PackageName
  06:46:16|         to ClassItem with name ClassName
  06:46:16|         by Object '?unnamed?'.
  
  06:46:13|  Error: Unresolved reference from Use Case
  'UseCAseName'
  06:46:13|         to ClassItem with name (Unspecified)
  06:46:13|         by Object '?unnamed?'.
  
  These errors occur when a Sequence diagram contains on object
  without name, associated with a missing class. In Rose, the name
  of the missing class is shown in parenthesis in the first
  example.
  
  - After import, the following appears in the import log:
  
  WARNING IRJF0032W Unable to resolve reference to class ClassName
  by Object null.
  
  WARNING IRJF0032W Unable to resolve reference to class null by
  Object null.
  
  It is expected that the error message should indicate on which
  sequence diagram you can find the lifeline that is not
  associated with any object.
  
  Workaround:
  
  To resolve the warning:
  
  In Rational Rose, right click on the error log and choose:
  Autosave Log
  
  Then select: Check Model
  
  Use the rational Rose log as guidance to identify the objects.
  Once the diagrams containing the objects are identified:
  
  1. Create a new Attribute in the Collaboration that encloses the
  Sequence Diagram.
  
  2. Drag and drop the newly created attribute on the Lifeline
  
  3. Recreate the missing class
  
  4. Select the class as type for the newly created attribute
