Setting Search Options for a My webMethods Page
For each My webMethods page that has a search panel, you can define search options that apply specifically to that page. These search options can include:
The search panel tab (for example,
Keyword or
Advanced) you want
My webMethods to display by default when you initially access the
My webMethods page
Whether you want
My webMethods to automatically execute a search when you initially access the
My webMethods page, and if so, the saved search you want
My webMethods to execute
The maximum number of search results that you want
My webMethods to retrieve before stopping execution of a search
To set search options for a
My webMethods page
1. Access the My webMethods page for which you want to set search options.
2. Click the Options tab.
3. To define the search panel tab you want My webMethods to display when you initially access the My webMethods page, use the Search Tab field. Select one of the available options.
The following table lists the available search options.
Option | Description |
Keyword | My webMethods displays the Keyword tab. |
Basic | My webMethods displays the Basic tab. |
Advanced | My webMethods displays the Advanced tab. |
Saved | My webMethods displays the Saved tab. |
Saved - Details | My webMethods displays the Saved tab with the fields that show the details about the saved search criteria displayed. |
4. To select a saved search to load, and optionally execute, use the Selected Saved Search field and the Run selected saved search when window is displayed check box:
a. Use the Selected Saved Search field to identify a saved search you want loaded when you initially access the My webMethods page.
If you do not select the Run selected saved search when window is displayed check box, which is described in the step below, My webMethods does not automatically execute the search when you access the My webMethods page; it will execute the search when you click Search. If you set the Search Tab field to Saved or Saved - Details, when you initially access this My webMethods page, My webMethods displays the saved search that you select on this tab.
If you do not select a saved search in the Selected Saved Search field, My webMethods will not load nor execute a search when you initially access the page.
b. If you want My webMethods to execute the saved search that you selected in the Selected Saved Search field, select the Run selected saved search when window is displayed check box. When you select this check box, My webMethods automatically executes the selected saved search when you access the My webMethods page and displays its results, regardless of your setting in the Search Tab field.
5. Define the maximum number of search results that My webMethods retrieves before stopping the execution of a search by selecting one of the following options:
Max Results - enter the maximum number of search results to retrieve. Use this option to retrieve only the most recent information. Setting a maximum number of results also increases the speed of searches.
No Maximum - select the checkbox to specify unlimited results for a search. Setting unlimited results might significantly increase the time for which
My webMethods retrieves and displays the search results.
6. Click Save to save your search options.
