3.5 Automatic file tagging software (ctags)

The automatic file tagging software component "ctags" is no longer delivered with Rational Test RealTime. This software is used by Test RealTime to display the functions and methods available for testing in the Component Testing wizards and the functions and methods displayed in the asset browser. This feature is not critical to using Test RealTime, however it does improve source file navigation. If you want the product to perform automatic file tagging, then you must manually install ctags on your computer. 1. Download ctags from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ctags.
2. Install ctags in the Test RealTime installation directory, in the same directory as the studio binary. For example, on Windows platforms:
C:\Program Files\Rational\TestRealTime\bin\intel\win32

Alternatively, you can install ctags in a different directory as long as it is declared in your PATH environment variable.
