Locate version and branch window

Use this window to search through the version tree for a specific version or branch. For example, you can search for a version labeled with 3.0.BL2_RELEASE.

Locate the version selected by the view

If you select this option, clicking Locate causes the version tree display to change focus, displaying the version selected by the view.

The version in the view is identified by the view select indicator.

Locate the version or branch selected by the mouse pointer

If you select this option, clicking Locate causes the version tree display to change focus, displaying the currently selected version or branch.

Tip: If no version or branch is currently selected in the version tree display (that is, if you did not click a version or branch in the display before opening the Locate Version and Branch window), clicking this option has no effect on the display.

Locate the version or branch based on the following criteria

Activates the selection options under Locate Version By and Locate Branch By, which you can use to specify search criterion to find a version or branch. The Version Tree Browser uses the following types of data to identify a version or branch, and you can search for any of these identifiers:
  • Version name
  • Label name (if one has been assigned)
  • Attribute and its value (if one has been assigned)
  • Creation information
  • Activity (if one has been assigned)
  • Branch name
    Tip: The identifier must be displayed in the Version Tree Browser before you can search on it. If the identifier is not displayed, the browser prompts you before it fetches the data from the VOB.
The icon shows a flashlight.
A flashlight appears in the version tree next to the result of your query. The flashlight disappears when you click anywhere in the version tree.

Selection filter

If you select Locate the version or branch based on the following criteria, the Selection filter option allows you to create and apply a filter to further limit which versions and branches appear under List of Names. Select this option to display the Filter box.

In Filter, specify a string to search through the output under List of Names for a text or numeric string. The filter has these properties:
  • It is case-sensitive
  • It does not support Boolean searches
  • It uses only the asterisk (*) as a special character

For example, select Label name and you can search for all labels that include the string "v3.0". Or, to see only the versions checked in during September, 2004, click Creation Info and enter *Sep*04*.

Tip: To undo, or remove, the additional search criteria, clear Selection Filter.

Click Apply to display in List of Names the possible versions or branches that match the string that you entered.

Click Locate to change the focus of the version tree display and have the flashlight icon appear.
