View the history of an object or release whether you know
the name and version of the object or release or not.
About this task
Use this feature if you know the name and
version of an object or release you want to view in the History dialog
box. If you use the Show History dialog box to
view an object or release, you do not need to query first. Also, you
can use the query results to show the project in the History dialog
box.
Alternatively, if you do not know the name
and version of the object or release, you can query to find out, then
use the query results to view version history, check for parallels,
determine if you are copying a project from the most current version,
and update history relationships after a DCM transfer.
- From anywhere in Rational Synergy, enter control-H.
- To view object history, enter a name (for
example, newdoc.txt), a name and version separated
by the version delimiter (for example, newdoc.txt-beta),
or a four-part name, consisting of object name, version, type, and
instance (for example, newdoc.txt-beta:ascii:ccmintdb#1)
in the Show History dialog box.
If the object name you enter produces more than one
version, the Select Object dialog box appears.
Select the appropriate object, then click OK.
- To view the history for a release, type the
complete release name (for example, editor/2.0)
or the component release (for example, 3.2_patch).
If Rational Synergy cannot determine a release
from the release name you enter, the Select Release dialog
box displays the releases matching the name entered. Choose the appropriate
release name, then click OK.
You
can use the question mark ( ? ) and asterisk
( * ) characters as substitutes for the unknown
part of the four-part name, component, or component name and you will
still receive results.
OR
Right-click over the appropriate file, directory, or project,
and select History.
If you need to find
an object or release, see Finding an object.
The History dialog
box displays all versions of the object or release.
If you are
using Rational Synergy Distributed and want to update history relationships
after a DCM transfer, click
