Applying a Filter to UDDI Registry
To make it easier to find a particular web service from the list of all the services published in the UDDI registry, you can filter the contents of the UDDI Registry view.
When applying a filter to the UDDI Registry view, keep the following points in mind:
*Designer continues to apply the specified filter until you explicitly clear the filter. Designer saves the filter string across Designer and UDDI registry sessions.
*If you publish a service that does not meet the criteria specified in the currently applied filter, Designer does not display the newly published web service in the UDDI Registry view.
*Designer applies each filter that you create to the entire contents of the UDDI registry. For example, if you apply two filters in succession, Designer clears the first filter before applying the second filter. Designer does not apply the second filter to the results of the first filter.
*To filter the contents of the UDDI Registry view
1. In UDDI Registry view, right-click and select Filter UDDI Registry Display.
2. In the Filter UDDI Registry Display dialog box, in the Enter Filter Text field, type the text to use as the filter criteria.
Integration Server treats the text as a partial string. For example, if you enter “vic”, “victory” and “services” will both fit the search criteria. The percent sign (%) can be used for an approximate search within the text. For example, for “a%n”, “ain” and “Amazon” fit the search criteria.
3. Select the check boxes for WebService Name, WebService Description, or both to specify which properties you want Designer to examine for the Enter Filter Text text string.
4. Click OK to apply the filter.
