PM57950: Rational Developer for System z (RDz) Endevor API provided by RDz is not hiding actions when programmed in plugin

Rational Developer for System z 8.5

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The customer written plugin that uses the Rational Developer for
  System z (RDz) Endevor/CARMA API is not hiding all the Actions
  from all Menu dialog contexts.
  
  The customer is using the following example to code their
  plugin:
   public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exception {
  
    super.start(context);
  
    plugin = this;
  
  
  
    RAMActionRegistry myRegistry =
  RAMActionRegistry.getRegistry();
  
  myRegistry.setUniqueRAMActionState('COM.IBM.CARMA.ENDEVORRAM','1
  06',
  RAMActionState.HIDDEN);
  
  
  myRegistry.setUniqueRAMActionState('COM.IBM.CARMA.ENDEVORRAM','1
  07',
   RAMActionState.HIDDEN);
  
  
  myRegistry.setUniqueRAMActionState('COM.IBM.CARMA.ENDEVORRAM','1
  08',
   RAMActionState.HIDDEN);
  
    }
  
  
  
     /*
  
      actionId='106' name='Define Package'
  
      actionId='107' name='Delete Package'
  
      actionId='108' name='Execute Package'
  
      actionId='109' name='Submit Package'
  
      actionId='110' name='Commit Package'
  
      actionId='111' name='Reset Package'
  
      actionId='112' name='Backin Package'
  
      actionId='113' name='Backout Package'
  
      actionId='114' name='Approve Package'
  
     actionId='115' name='Deny Package'
     actionId='116' name='Cast Package'
     actionId='117' name='Generate Element'
     actionId='119' name='Move Element'
     actionId='120' name='Signin Element'
    */
  
  These should hide these Actions from all instances of opening
  the Menu, but it is only hiding these actions when the dialog is
  opened from the CARMA repository view.
  If the dialog is opened from the zOS project view the elements
  are not hidden.
  If the dialog is opened while editing a member then the elements
  are not hidden.
