Creating a location or opening an existing location is
the first task to perform in the Design Explorer view,
since a location gives you access to the instances involved in the
design of your application. The location concept can then be
related to the database concept
Procedure
- Right-click anywhere in this view and select .
- In the wizard which opens up, you must give a name to your
location. Since a location can be compared to a database, it is advised
to name the location after the database.
Results
The newly created location is displayed in your
Design
Explorer view. Clicking it reveals the entity branches,
with no instance. To fill your location with instances, you must perform
one of the following actions::
- Create instances directly in the Design Explorer view.
To do so, right-click and select or any other entity.
- Import a file containing a set of instances. To do so, right-click
and select Import.
- Load, into your local workspace, the contents of a Rational Team
Concert repository workspace filled with Pacbase instances.

the location and select
Open.
