IBM SC34-4499-03 manual Finding objects within TeamConnection, Finding parts

Note: You can issue queries to generate reports of data from tables and views using the -view action ¯ag. If you do not specify selection criteria, such as the ®elds and the search conditions you want to use, the report query selects all entries for the table or view indicated that the user has authority to access. This command does not show any objects in components that you are not authorized to access

ªAppendix I. Authority and noti®cation for TeamConnection actionsº on page 277 lists the types of authority you need in order to perform various TeamConnection actions.

Finding objects within TeamConnection

All TeamConnection objects are stored on a server in a database. To ®nd one or more of these objects within a family, do one of the following:

vUse the report command with the -view action ¯ag from a command line or a command line within TeamConnection.

Command usage is explained in the Commands Reference

vUse a Filter window in the GUI.

Online helps explain how to use the Filter windows.

For now, you need to understand that the database is case-sensitive. You need to refer

to and search for objects in the correct case. For example, if a component is stored in the database as hand, you would not ®nd it if you typedHand or HAND. This is why it is

important that your organization sets a naming convention, and that everyone follows that decision when creating objects. If you do not know what naming convention has been established for your organization, talk to your family administrator.

Note: It is recommended that you use all lowercase whenever possible.

Finding parts

There are three Filter windows that you can use to ®nd parts within TeamConnection:

Note: Use the forward slash (/) when specifying path names, such as directory/®le.txt. The Intel convention of using the backward slash is not recognized in the Filter window.

Parts Use when you want to limit your search to a particular context of a work area or driver in a release, or a particular version of a release. This is generally the view users will use most often.

If you specify only a release, TeamConnection lists the committed parts for that release. However, if you want a list of all parts in a speci®ed work area and release, TeamConnection displays all the parts visible to the work area. This includes parts that are committed to the release as well as changed parts that are visible only to the work area.
