Before you can search a repository for a RAS asset, the repository must be added to your list of repositories. To do this, you must have the repository address that you obtain from the repository owner. Exceptions to this are the local repository where all you need is a file path, and the Patterns repository which is pre-installed.
Connecting to local repositories
You add a repository to your repository list so that you can view, search, and import its RAS assets. Local repositories are used to store, retrieve, and test RAS assets on your personal computer.Connecting to workgroup repositories
You add a repository to your repository list so that you can view, search, and import its RAS assets.Connecting to XDE repositories
You add a repository to your repository list so that you can view, search, and import its RAS assets. You can use an XDE™ repository to connect to servers containing IBM® Rational® XDE™ legacy assets.Connecting to pattern repositories
The Patterns repository comes preloaded and is used to retrieve and view Patterns assets only. The Patterns repository will hold all the “installed” patterns. The repository finds patterns based on their extension points.
