Warnings on Importing an EDIFACT Definition

Problem

On importing an EDIFACT definition, you may get the following warning in the notification window:

Some tag values are not loaded. Check magicdraw.log file for details.

In the MagicDraw log file, you will then find a couple of the following errors:

[pool-MagicDraw-thread-20:Reload Module] ERROR FILES - Tag "xmlns:XML" not loaded, tag definition not found.
[pool-MagicDraw-thread-20:Reload Module] ERROR FILES - Tag "xmlns:xmi" not loaded, tag definition not found.
[pool-MagicDraw-thread-20:Reload Module] ERROR FILES - Tag "xmlns:Basic_Structure" not loaded, tag definition not found.
[pool-MagicDraw-thread-20:Reload Module] ERROR FILES - Tag "xmlns:FlatFile" not loaded, tag definition not found.
[pool-MagicDraw-thread-20:Reload Module] ERROR FILES - Tag "xmlns:EDIFACT" not loaded, tag definition not found.

Solution

You can ignore these errors. The imported EDIFACT will work nevertheless.

Superfluous Target Pins Generated

Problem

When placing a call to a method on the diagram by drag and drop from the containment tree, MagicDraw 18 automatically generates target pins.

However, for static methods this is not necessary.

Solution

Just remove the superfluous pin.
