Issue/Introduction

Using an existing Gen model with Windows GUI clients.
When migrating to a Web UI environment, although generation of Window Manager for WINDOWS/C is successful the generation of the corresponding JVM/Java or CLR/C# Window Manger shows "Failed" with this message:
_________________________________________________________________________
Messages for the generation of <WINDOW MANAGER >

ICG: icm generation terminated. 
Unable to open file LoadModule.lst in the java subdirectory. 
_________________________________________________________________________

Alternatively the generator program ing.exe may actually crash and a dialog box "Web Client Generator has stopped working" is displayed
The toolset does not crash but only shows:
_________________________________________________________________________
Messages for the generation of <WINDOW MANAGER >

Environment

Release: Any
Component: Gen Workstation Toolset

Cause

Typically some object on a Window or Dialog Box can cause the problem.
The root cause is often related to having some changes made in a Window Design mode (Window / HTML/ ASP.Net) when the "Common Edit Modifications" (CME) option has been disabled (default is enabled), so that the changes only apply for that mode and not all modes. Those changes create custom associations & custom objects in the model for the different modes.

Resolution

For the Window Manager in question manually inspect the Windows and Dialog Boxes for the corresponding Procedure Step(s).
Check if what is shown in Window mode is the same as in the mode being generated i.e. mode HTML (JVM) or ASP.Net (CLR). If discrepancies are found which should not be there, with "Common Edit Modifications" enabled, delete the objects and then add them back so that all modes see the new objects (also see "Edit > Remove Customization" below).
If that does not resolve the generation problem test deleting 1 field at a time to see if that will help find the root cause. Start with menu item fields which have been to show problems in the past. If the problem field can be found then try adding it back again with "Common Edit Modifications" enabled.
If the problem still persists or further assistance is required please login to the Broadcom Support Portal and create a Gen support case to receive from Gen Technical Support.

Additional Information

See doc. page: Common Edit Modifications and Remove Customization
NOTE: Option "Edit > Remove Customization":
a. Is only enabled when a control customization has been executed in HTML or ASP.Net modes (not Window mode)
b. Cannot be used to remove customizations for menu items.
