Imported artifacts

Step 1   Expand the  application into which the artifact was imported.

Step 2   Double-click on the  Repository node to open the Artifacts search view for that application.

Step 3    When the search view is opened, the list of artifacts is empty. Use the search criteria sections to filter the search.

• To search for an existing artifact by name or file type, enter all or part of the information in the Artifact or Extension fields.
• To search for existing artifacts by component, click the  browse icon and select the component from the list. This list is prepopulated with all of the components in the current application.
• To search for existing artifacts by release, click the corresponding  browse icon. The Creation Release and Last Update Release lists are prepopulated with all of the releases that have been created for the current application.

Enter any combination of the above search criteria, then click the Search button to display the results. To display the complete list, click the Search button without entering any search criteria.

To display all of the items by default each time the search view is opened, select the auto search icon.

Result   The Artifacts search view displays all of the artifacts that have been imported into the current application that meet the search criteria.

The Artifact column displays each component in the application that contains imported artifacts. Expanding each component displays the directory structure that DROPS copied from the artifact's source location. This directory structure is repeated in the deployment process and copied over to the target system.

The Creation Release and Last Update Release columns display the name of the first release the artifact was imported with and the most recent release that contained it, respectively.
