Rational Programming Patterns

Searching for references in the Rational Team Concert server

You can search, on the Rational Team Concert™ server, for the instances in which your current instance is called (its super references) or the instances that are called by your current instance (its subreferences). You can start the search from an instance that exists in your workspace or an instance that exists in the server only. You can then use the search results to load your local workspace.

Before you begin

The Rational Team Concert server must be started and a repository connection must exist.

Procedure

  1. Right-click an instance or the generated COBOL file of a Program, Screen, or Server (.cbl file). You start the search from different views, depending on whether the file exists in your local workspace or in the server only.
    • If the instance or file exists in your local workspace, you start its reference search from the Design Explorer view or from the result view of a Design Search.
    • If the instance or file exists in the server only, you start its reference search from the result view of a Server Design Search or a Server Artifact Search.
  2. Right-click an instance and select References > Server subreferences or References > Server super references in the contextual menu of the instance or file.
    Note: For a generated file or a map description file, you must select Server subreferences to see the instances that were involved in the file generation.

Results

You automatically switch to the Server References view where the result of the reference search is displayed. The view title reminds the type of references displayed (References (super) or References (Sub)) and the instance name.

To toggle from the super references to the subreferences, click the Subreferences toolbar button.

To toggle from the subreferences to the super references, click Super references.
