Problem:
When using Diagrammer within Modernization Workbench, after the creation of several diagrams, Diagrammer appears to create an inconsistent diagram for non related programs. How can this be avoided?
Resolution:
To resolve this, do the following:
- Within Diagrammer, create a diagram from a program source, selecting any Scope.
- Highlight the program in the browser window, and use CTRL and C to copy the program.
- Place the cursor in the Diagram pane and use CTRL and V to paste the program.
- The diagram is then created using the scope selected.
- Before creating the next diagram, all of the elements in the diagram are deleted, by manually highlighting them and deleting them from the Diagram pane.
- After a number of diagrams were created in the same way, the diagram seemed to display unrelated entities.
- The reason for this is understanding the use of the diagrammer tool.
- Creating a new diagram, sets the "context" of the diagram, so additional programs can be added to the diagram or programs removed from the diagram manually keeping relationships intact.
- Each time a new diagram is to be generated, the diagram panel should be cleared, but not using the manual technique described above.
- Removing entities manually will leave the "context" of the first diagram in place and can cause "apparent malfunction" such as this.
- To clear the diagram panel ready for a new diagram, From the DIAGRAM menu, choose CLEAR or close the diagrammer and re-open when needed
