Rational Programming Patterns

New Library wizard

Enter the fields of this wizard to create a Library.

Project
Select a project in the list or enter the name of the project in which the instances are to be saved.

A project represents the physical distribution of your instances in your workspace. It groups directories and files. It is used to organize resources which can be built, shared, or stored as a version.

A Pacbase project contains a subset of files, which correspond to the models and the generated sources that make up an application.

There can be various projects for each location (a location is the equivalent of a database).

Package
A package corresponds to a logical group of information in a project.

If you are maintaining a Pacbase application, selecting a package is not advised. The instance override mechanism is then made easier because the overriding instance is always in the same package as the overridden instance. You do not need to manage the presence of both the instances in the same package, which is the requirement of an override.

Name
Enter the name of the Library here. Its maximum length is 36 characters.
Label
Enter the label, which identifies the new instance. It constitutes a search criterion for a subsequent search.
Open editor on finish
Select this check box if you want the editor of the instance you are creating to open up automatically. The editor opens up on the Overview tab. From there, you can access the other tabs to specify all the characteristics of the instance.
