Find Services
The Find service retrieves a set of records from PeopleSoft that match the data specifications (keys) you specify.
When specifying keys, you can specify a full name, a partial name, or you can leave the field empty. If you leave the field empty, the service will retrieve all records. You can also use the wildcard characters supported by PeopleSoft, which are the percent sign character (%) and the underscore character ( _ ).
Using the percent sign (%) in a field will match a string of zero or more characters. For example: A% matches any string starting with A, including just A.
Using the underscore character (_) in a field will match any single character. For example: _om matches a string that begins with any character followed by _om, such as Tom or Home.
To use one of the PeopleSoft wildcard characters as a literal character in a key field (for example, to include an underscore (_) in your string), precede the character with a backslash character (\). For example: \_.
Note:
PeopleSoft allows a Find operation to return a maximum of 300 records. When the operation finds more than 300 records, the adapter returns only the first 300 records, and generates a warning message issued by the PeopleSoft server.
