Searching for a job file using its MD5 value

A report that searches the job BOMs for a file that matches an MD5 value. The MD5 hash value is a digital fingerprint of a file.

The Queries panel includes a report that searches the job BOMs for a file that matches an MD5 value and, if a match is found, lists the job tag and the file location. Use this report if you need to search for a specific version of a file and know its MD5 value.

As a prerequisite, your projects must include the .scan baseline or .scan checkpoint commands to store MD5 values. For details, see the reference information for .scan. The .scan command completes the following tasks:

Data source: Rational Build Forge database

Report format: Table

Display options: Select Flatten report output to expand the tree hierarchy and display all report results in a list.

To search the job BOM for an MD5 value:

  1. Open the Reports tab.
  2. Click the Queries panel.
  3. At MD5 search value, enter the MD5 value that you want to find.
  4. Click the Quick Start icon Quick Start icon for the MD5 files report.

    The MD5 files report is displayed as a table of results.
