Selecting the source repository and searching for assets

Select the source repository and the assets to use in a repository-to-repository batch update.

About this task

When you perform a batch update from one repository to another, you must first select the source repository and search for the assets that you want to update.

Procedure

To find the source repository and assets:

  1. From the Eclipse menu, click File > New > Batch Update Task.
  2. In the Find Assets section of the Batch Editor, expand the menu and select Rational Asset Manager.
  3. In the Select Asset Source Repository dialog, create a new connection or select an existing connection from the menu and click OK. This repository connection is the repository connection that you will use to find assets to update or upload to a different server.
  4. From the repository connection that you defined in the previous step, use one of the following methods to find the assets that you want to update.
    • Use a keyword search in the Asset Search view.
    • Use a keyword search with filters in the Asset Search view.
    • Add all of the assets that are returned by an asset search. Refer to the following topic for help.Using asset search shortcuts in a batch update task
  5. After you have found assets, select the assets that you want to add to the batch task. Right-click on the name of the asset, and click Batch update.
