Can you please tell us which BASE version you are using. The stack trace 
is hard to follow unless I know which version to look at.

Are you sure that you are checking the same DbControl as you used to get 
the raw bioassays and files? Ie. the check you must do should correspond 
to: rawBioAssays[i].getDbControl().isClosed()

Otherwise I recommend that you do:
rawBioAssays[i] = RawBioAssay.getById(dc, rawBioAssays[i].getId())

where dc is an open DbControl. I don't recommend using the 
DbControl.reattachItem(). It doesn't reattach linked items and may cause 
problems if trying to access those. The Affymetrix.setCelFile will 
access to array design linked to the raw bioassay and this may or may 
not work depending on what you have done earlier.
