Currently there is a restriction in GRE that only allows one model per
metamodel. 

Feng, 
Do you remember why we had to do this and can we now allow more models?

In UDM every object must have a parent. Since you have deleted the
parent relationship, the object is also deleted, then you pass the null
object to the next rule. 

In the next release we can try to allow a rule where you can specify
delete on one composition and create new one another composition
association. This can internally use the CopyObjectHierarchy method of
UDM. Currently you might be able to do this in the AttributeMapping
dialog box. 

Thanks,
