Lesson 5: Tag the published Rational Asset Manager assets

In this lesson, you tag published assets and search for assets by using those tags.
To tag a published asset:
  1. Open the Modeling perspective: Click Window > Open Perspective > Other > Modeling.
  2. In the Project Explorer view, right-click the UML model; then click Publish Asset.
  3. In the Publish wizard, on the Tag page, you can either select an existing tag from a list, type a new tag and press Enter, or click Add tag. When you add tags, they are added to a list where other assets can also access them. If you publish an asset with an existing tag, all the existing tags are added to the list too.
  4. Click Finish.
Each time that you change a published asset, the asset version is updated. For example, the first time that you publish an asset, the version is 1.0. After you update the asset and republish it, the asset version is 1.1, and so on. To verify that the asset has tags, go to the Asset Management perspective: Click Window > Open Perspective > Other > Asset management. In the Asset Repositories view, expand My Assets , right-click the most recent version of the published asset, then click Browse Asset. The asset editor opens and the tags are displayed in the editor area. To remove a tag from an asset, click the X beside the tag in the editor or you publish the asset again.
