Performing an Advanced Search for webMethods Assets
Use an advanced search to specify detailed search criteria to locate specific assets. When you perform an advanced search, you can only locate assets of a single type. For example, you can search for portlets or you can search for task types, but not for both portlets and task types in a single search. Designer displays the results of your search in the Search view.
To locate assets and/or asset references, Designer searches the metadata associated with assets. You can choose to search only the workspace index, or both the workspace index and CentraSite.
Note: If you have workspace indexing disabled, you might have assets in your workspace for which metadata does not exist or is incomplete. In this case, the search will not properly locate these assets.
* To perform an advanced search for webMethods assets
1. In Designer, select Search > Search .
2. Click the webMethods Advanced tab.
Selections from the previous search are retained.
3. Select the type of asset you want to locate from the Asset Type list.
4. For each search criterion you want to use:
a. Click Add.
b. In the Add Query Condition window, click Asset Field and select an item. The items that Designer includes in the Asset Field list depends on the Asset Type you select.
c. Complete specifying the condition for the selected Asset Field. Note that the search is not case sensitive.
d. Click OK.
5. In the Match condition field, select:
*Any to have Designer locate assets that match any of the criteria you specified.
*All to have Designer locate assets only if they match all of the criteria that you specified.
Note: If you select References from Asset Field and All for Match condition, Designer finds assets that contain all the specified references, but those references do not necessarily have to be all in one place. For example, if you have a condition to locate all processes that reference processes with names that contain "HR" and also reference processes with a process version that contains "2", Designer might find a process that contains one step for a referenced process with the name "HR-Tasks" and a process version "3" and another step for a referenced process with the name "ApproveOrder" and a process version "2".
6. In the Search in field, select:
*Workspace to search metadata in the workspace index only.
*CentraSite to search metadata in CentraSite only.
*Workspace & CentraSite to search metadata in both the workspace index and CentraSite.
Note: Documents associated with processes are not searchable in the workspace. However, you can show the references and dependencies of processes to locate these assets.
For more information, see Showing Asset References and Dependencies.
7. Click Search.
