Searching for Macro cross-references in the Rational Team Concert server

You can search, in the Rational Team Concert™ server, for the Program, Screen, or Server instances that call a Macro. You can start the search from a Macro that exists in your workspace or a Macro 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 a Macro from different views, depending on whether it exists in your local workspace or in the server only.
    • If the Macro exists in your local workspace, you start its cross-reference search from the Design Explorer view, or from the Design Search or References result view.
    • If the Macro exists in the server only, you start its cross-reference search from the Server Design Search, Server Artifact Search, or Server References result view.
  2. Select References > Server Macro cross-references in the contextual menu of the Macro.

Results

You automatically switch to the Server Macro cross-references view where the result of the search is displayed.

The tooltip that is associated with the view title describes the search whose result is displayed in the view. You can then easily differentiate the various result views.

This view displays the list of the instances that call the Macro in the local project, and the values of the parameters in each calling instance. The values of the parameters cannot be updated from this view.

You can export the search result in a CSV format and use it in a spreadsheet program. To do so, click Export the query result (Export the query result) in the view toolbar.
