Rational Programming Patterns

How to specify an advanced search pattern

You specify an advanced search pattern to perform a complex search on the instances stored in the Rational Team Concert™ Server. You can use one of the available search patterns or create your own pattern. These patterns are either formatted patterns or free form patterns.

Before you begin

You must decide what kind of search you want to carry out.

If you need a pattern only once, you must use an existing pattern or write your own free form pattern directly in the Advanced Search tab.

However, to perform the same search several times, create your pattern and enter its content in the search pattern editor, or use an imported pattern.

About this task

To be able to work with an advanced search pattern, the Rational Team Concert Server must be started and a repository connection must exist.

Then, in the Design Explorer view, click the Search toolbar button or the Search menu and open the Server Advanced Design Search tab. The following steps depend on the type of search you want to perform.

Procedure

Results

The instances stored on the Rational Team Concert Server, in the selected stream (if any), are searched for. The instances that match the search criteria are found, even if they have not been downloaded to your workspace.

Once the search is complete, your focus automatically switches to the Server Design Search view, where the results of the search are displayed.
