Has anyone seen duplicate requirements show up in RPE with retrieving items from a view?
We are using DNG 6.0.3 with RPE 1.2.1.1 and are running into a strange issue. We have an RPE template that pulls requirements from DNG using a DNG View as the data source. Recently, this template has resulted in some of the requirements in the view being duplicated in the generated document. After some investigation that didn't show any cause, I tried duplicating the view giving it a new name and then generated the document using the new view. In this case, there were no duplicates. I then tried renaming the old view and making my new view have the same name as the old one. This time I wound up with more repetition (3 instances in some cases). Renaming my view back to the "new" name generated with a single copy again. I then deleted the old view and tried renaming with the old name again. I still wound up with duplicates. It is behaving as if there is another view hidden in the system with the original name and that RPE is pulling data from both views.

Are you generating the document though RPE (Launcher) or DNG (RRDG)? Can you check the URL used (data source URI) for document generation and try the same URL in browser (or any REST client)? If you see duplicate artifacts there as well, this is not an issue with RPE/template. Else, we need to check the template.

I can send you the template via email if you like. Using a different named view(same contents) with the same template does not exhibit the issue.

Feb 06 '17, 10:59 a.m.I tried one more experiment... I renamed the view in RM and tried the URL again. It still returns values. I also attempted a document generation and it generated with values, 11 duplicates among them. This is with no view by the given name showing up in the User Interface.
