Adding a folder or folder template for component development to a process rule

Component development is the creation of applications from reusable parts.

Rational® Synergy creates automatic and component tasks to support component development. However, these tasks are typically hidden from users because they are only used during component development.

This procedure shows how to create and add a folder or folder template that finds automatic and component tasks for use in your component development project.

Procedure

  1. Right-click over the appropriate process rule, and choose Properties. In the Properties for Process Rule dialog box, click Tasks, and then click the create and add a folder link.
  2. In the Create and Add Folder for Component dialog box, set options.
    • With list box

      Set With to Projects only, Products only, or leave it set to the default, Projects and Products.

    • For list box

      Choose from all the component names in the database plus Any. After you choose the component name in the left list box, the right list box displays all the releases for that component. Alternatively, you can enter any value. For example, you want the folder to contain tasks from several releases that have a similar name. Choose TransAssembly in the left list box and enter 09week5* in the right box.

    • From list box

      Clicking browse gives you the following choices:

      * Latest Published Baseline (default)

      * Latest Release Baseline

      * Latest Test Baseline

      * Specific Baseline

      * Build Manager's Project Grouping

      * Developer's Project Grouping

  3. Click Query icon to start the query.
  4. The tasks that show in the selection field reflect what the new folder or folder template gathers for the component. When the folder or folder template contains the correct set of tasks, click OK to save it.
