15 Work with the Object Cross Reference Repository
This chapter contains these topics:
15.1 Working with the Object Cross Reference Repository
The Object Cross Reference Repository locates all the objects associated with a particular member or object. The cross reference files are shipped empty. You must first run the Cross-Ref Index rebuild on menu G9642. If you add a new member to the Software Versions Repository, the Rebuild Cross Reference job must be run to ensure the new member is included in the display. You must have source code on your machine to run this rebuild.
