Before you archive a particular language definition, data
set definition, or translator, you can search your Eclipse workspace
and display a list of references to these objects.
To check for references to objects, you must first load the
Eclipse workspace that contains these objects. To do this, load your
personal repository workspace with all of the required components
and then load the Eclipse workspace using that repository workspace.
It is possible for several product areas to reference
language definitions, translators, and data set definitions. Many
Rational Team Concert for System z functions, like Rational Developer
for System z integration and the z/OS build functionality, can also
reference any of these objects. If you want to stop using a language
definition, translator, or data set definition, you can archive it
so that it is no longer available for reference, but before you do
so, you should search for any dependencies on that object. To search
for dependencies on a language definition, translator, or data set
definition:
- In the Rational Team Concert for System z client, click Search in
the topmost toolbar. A menu is displayed.
- Select Search from the menu. A Search dialog box opens.
- Click the RTCz Search tab.
- In the Search string field, enter the name of the language
definition, translator, or data set definition whose dependencies
you want to display.
Tip: Put an asterisk (*)
at the end of a search string to perform a wild card search. For example,
if you want to search for and then display a list of any translators
that begin with the letters "CO," enter CO* in
the Search string field.
- In the Search For field, select what you want to search
for:
- Language Definitions
- Data Set Definitions
- Translators
- In the Limit To field, choose how you want to filter the
display results. You can choose to limit your search to one of the
following object statuses:
- Click Search to search or Cancel to
stop.
Performing the References to action
Perform the References to action to discover and display
a list of any references to a language definition, data set definition,
or translator you are considering archiving.
If you are considering archiving a language definition,
translator, or data set definition, select that object, then select
the References to action in the Team Artifacts
context menu to discover and display a list of any references to that
object. To perform the References to action:
- In the Team Artifacts view, expand your project area node,
then expand the Data Set Definitions or Language Definitions node.
Note: To select a translator, you must first expand the Language
Definitions node.
- Right-click the data set definition, language definition,
or translator whose references you want to display.
- Select References to. A list of objects that reference your language definition,
data set definition, or translator opens in the Search Results window.
