Rational Programming Patterns for System z

Design build path wizard

Use this wizard to view and modify the design build path of the current location.

Connection status
You can see here whether you are connected to the Rational Team Concert™ server. If you are connected, you can download the latest version of the design build path available on the server and upload your modifications.

Hierarchy of projects

You can view or modify the hierarchy of the projects contained in the location.

If you used the Pacbase migration procedures and imported the instances into the location, the design path is already defined. It reflects the hierarchy of the Pacbase Libraries.

However if you created your projects and instances from scratch, the projects of the location are all displayed at the same level. So you must specify their hierarchy manually.

Organization
Two organizations are possible:
  • Tree.
  • Layers.
You can always switch from a tree organization to a layers organization but the reverse is not always true, since the layers organization is more complex.
Note: The notions of tree and layers are explained in the concept related to this page.
Domain filter
Domains can be specified in the properties of the selected project. You open these properties by clicking Properties.

A domain is used to group projects according to application criteria. You can, for example, specify a 'client' or 'provider' domain. More than one domain can be associated with a project.

You can then filter the diagram display according to the domains. The diagram is filtered as soon as you enter the first letter of the domain name. You can enter more than one domain names to filter the diagram.

The filtered diagram displays the projects on which domains have been defined, and the projects required by these projects. You can then have a filtered view of all the projects involved in the development of a specific topic.

To display all the projects again, erase your input in this field.

Attention: You must be cautious when moving a project in the filtered diagram because this move is not elementary.
Case sensitive
This check box applies to the domain filter.

If it is selected, the filter recognizes the use of uppercase and lowercase letters in domain names.

Diagram of the projects in the organization
Depending on the selected organization, the diagram varies:
Design build path mode
The default floating mode correctly manages the redefinitions, as they were managed in the Pacbase database.
Deliver when save
If you are connected to the Rational Team Concert server, check this box to save your design build path to the server.
Download updates
