Changing a working library

The working library is the one selected when you connect to a Pacbase database via a connection repository. It is displayed in the status bar, located at the bottom of the workbench. You can easily change it in the Library Manager view displayed in a dedicated tab.

About this task

You can change the library via the Library Manager:

  1. Open the Library Manager view via the following menus Window > Show views > Library manager in the workbench's toolbar.
  2. Expand all the list items so that you can see all the libraries. They show up in a tree-like structure representing their hierarchical relations in the Database. The current library is highlighted and identified by the icon.
  3. Right-click on another library in the list and select the Set as working library menu to change the working library. As a result, the selected library is now identified as the new working library.
Results
Each time you change the working library, the Pacbase explorer view is automatically refreshed and displays the entity instances resulting from your library choice.
Example
An example of library change:
The working library was initially the one named 'PRO'
The new working library is an upper library named 'IBM'

In the Pacbase explorer view, you can easily identify the entity instances belonging to the current selected library . You can see the new library name displayed beside the connection repository name.
