Rational Programming Patterns

New Database Block wizard

Enter the fields of this wizard to create a Database Block.

Project
Select a project in the list or enter the name of the project in which the instance is 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 that can be built, shared, or versioned.

A Pacbase project contains a subset of file that correspond to the models and the generated sources that constitute an application.

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 here. Its maximum length is six characters and it must be constituted of alphabetic or numeric characters only.
Label
Enter the label that identifies the instance. It will constitute a search criterion for a subsequent search.
Open editor on finish
Select this check box if you want to open the editor of the instance you are creating. The editor opens on the Overview tab. From there, you can access the other tabs to specify all the characteristics of the instance.
