Rational Programming Patterns for System z

Creating/Opening a location

Creating a location or opening an existing location is the first task to perform in the Design Explorer view, since a location gives you access to the instances involved in the design of your application. The location concept can then be related to the database concept

Procedure

  1. Right-click anywhere in this view and select New > Location....
  2. In the wizard which opens up, you must give a name to your location. Since a location can be compared to a database, it is advised to name the location after the database.

Results

The newly created location is displayed in your Design Explorer view. Clicking it reveals the entity branches, with no instance. To fill your location with instances, you must perform one of the following actions::
  • Create instances directly in the Design Explorer view. To do so, right-click and select New... > Data Element or any other entity.
  • Import a file containing a set of instances. To do so, right-click and select Import.
  • Load, into your local workspace, the contents of a Rational Team Concert repository workspace filled with Pacbase instances.
To open another location, right-click the line which represents the location and select Open.
