Tool Mentor: Browsing Project Artifacts Using Rational ProjectConsole
Purpose
This tool mentor describes how to navigate Rational ProjectConsole using the sample
artifacts that are installed with it.
ProjectConsole automates the generation of project artifacts so you can create
them quickly and accurately.
This section provides links to additional information related to this tool mentor.
Overview
ProjectConsole capitalizes on Java applet technologies to provide you with
familiar and multiple forms of navigation.
If you click directly on the text of a tree control node the artifact
page associated with that node is displayed.
If you expand a tree control node by clicking on the node's plus-sign,
then hyperlinks that would be displayed by clicking on the text of the node
are displayed as child nodes, from which you can continue navigating.
This tool mentor is applicable when using Microsoft Internet Explorer (release
5.5 or greater) or Netscape (release
7.0 or later).
Tool Steps
To browse project artifacts using ProjectConsole:
- Launch a browser.
- Enter the URL for your installation's ProjectConsole site. The URL can be
obtained by contacting your ProjectConsole administrator. The ProjectConsole
logon screen is displayed.
- Enter a valid user id and password on this logon screen. The ProjectConsole
artifact browser is displayed.
- Expand the following nodes: ProjectConsole, ClassicsCD.com Projects, Point of Sale (POS),
Functional Teams, Management, Release 1.0, Sensitive Information, Measurement Reports,
All Published Measures, Functional Teams.
- Click on the text of any of the nodes under Functional Teams to access metrics for that team.
- Additional artifacts can be found by expanding the following nodes: ClassicsCD.com Projects,
Webshop, Release 1.0, RUP Disciplines, Project Management,
Sensitive Information, All Published Measures, Release 1.0. Expand
the nodes of any of the phases to access metrics for that phase.
- Navigate the ProjectConsole metrics by clicking the Dashboard icon
on the Rational ProjectConsole tool bar.
Note: The reports displayed by ProjectConsole are sample templates created
using the Rational ProjectConsole Template Builder, and the published charts are created
within the ProjectConsole Dashboard.
