Creating or opening a location

A location is similar to a database. It groups the instances that are involved in your application. If you load your workspace from a Rational Team Concert™ server or an import file, the location is automatically created with the instances of the application. If you create an application in Rational® Programming Patterns, you must create a location and create the instances of your application.

Procedure

  1. If you create an application in Rational Programming Patterns, you must create a repository in the Design Explorer view. To do so, right-click anywhere in this view and select New > Location in the contextual menu. This choice opens a creation wizard. Give a name to the location and Finish.
  2. If you loaded your workspace from a Rational Team Concert server or an import file, you must open the location that was created automatically. To do so, right-click the location line in the Design Explorer view and select Open in the contextual menu.
    Note: You can load instances into the location in various ways.
