Preparing to Search for Documents, Tasks, and Activity Log Entries
To find documents, tasks, or activity log entries, you search the
Trading Networks database you selected in
Selecting the Database to Work with.
You can specify the options below for searches. For instructions, see Working with My webMethods.
You can specify the search tab to display (for example, Basic or Advanced) and a search to execute when you first display the search page.
You can specify the maximum number of search results to display, the number of rows to display on each results page, the columns to display, and how to sort the results.
For document searches, you can also specify the options below. For instructions, see the procedure that follows.
You can specify the maximum page size for displaying document content. A very low number might require you to page more through the content. A larger number will reduce the number of pages, but you might have to scroll within a page to view all the content. An extremely large number might affect display performance.
If you are specifying a complex document search on the Advanced search tab, and you switch to a simple search on the Basic tab, the advanced search criteria will be lost. You can indicate whether you want to be warned of this when you switch.
The Administrator can set the Web Service Timeout field. If a query takes longer than the Timeout value, it throws the Web Service Timeout exception.
To specify maximum page size and whether you want to be warned
1. In My webMethods: Monitoring > Integration > B2B > User Preferences.
2. In the Content Viewer Page Size field, indicate the maximum number of kilobytes (KB) of document content to display per page. The default is 32 KB.
3. If you want to be warned before switching from a complex search to a simple search, and losing complex search specifications, select the Warn Before Clearing Search Criteria check box.
