Name

Use this attribute to search for assets whose name matches a specified text string.

You can specify a substring or expression that can be combined with a contains word (default option), starts with, equals, or not equals expression. The search is neither case nor accent sensitive. If starts with is used, no wildcard is necessary as a postfix. If contains word is used, the word given is treated as a partial string with implicit wildcards. If equals or not equals is used, no wildcards are supported.

If multiple substrings have been given the parameters are implicitly quoted. Explicit quotations and wildcards can be used and behave in the same way as for keyword searches.

Description

Use this attribute to search for assets whose description matches a specified text string.

Usage is the same as for the Name attribute.

Internal Classification

Use this attribute to search for assets that are classified with the selected classification and the optional category or subtree.

The selection of a category is optional to allow searching for all assets where a taxonomy was applied irrespective of the category. If a subtree was selected, then all categories contained in the subtree are considered for search.

External Classification

Use this attribute to search for assets that are classified with the selected classification and the optional category or subtree.

Searches for all objects that are classified with the selected taxonomy and the optional value. The input of a value is optional and allows you to search for all assets where a taxonomy was applied irrespective of the category. For the value, wildcards are also allowed and the behavior is the same as for name searches.

LifeCycle State

Use this attribute to search for assets that are in a specified lifecycle state.

Created

Use this attribute to search for assets with a specified creation date.

You can select a date and apply a before/after/on/between criterion. If between is used, a second input field allows you to specify the end date.

The date input parameters allow year, month, and day input as well as hour and minute. Hour and minute default to 0. The data format is used as specified in the account preferences of a user (defaults to yyyy-mm-dd). No wildcards are supported.

Modified

Use this attribute to search for assets with a specified modification date.

Usage is the same as for the Creation Date attribute.

Owner

Use this attribute to search for assets belonging to a specified user.

Choose the user through a Browse selection list.

Organization

Use this attribute to search for assets provided by a specified organization.

Choose the organization through a Browse selection list.

UDDI Key

Use this attribute to search for an asset that exactly matches the given UDDI V3 key.

If no prefix uddi: is given, this is implied automatically. No wildcards are supported.

Object-specific property

Use this attribute to search for assets that match the specified object-specific property.

You can specify one or more of the local name, namespace, and value of the attribute. You can for example search just by local name (without value or namespace) to retrieve assets that use the same object specific attribute name.

Wildcards are allowed for name and value, and they can be used in the same way as for keyword searches.

Type-specific property

Use this to search for assets, based on the values of type-specific attributes. When you select this criterion, the dialog presents two related fields: one for specifying the name of the type-specific attribute and one for specifying the value to be searched for.

For more information, Type-Specific Attributes.

Association

Use this attribute to search for assets that match the specified association.

This allows you to retrieve all assets that participate in an association or as a relationship attribute. You can select an association type and choose if the assets to be found are: target, source or either case. In addition you can optionally specify the asset types that are the source/target of the association. (Example: find all services that have an outgoing <uses> association to an XML Schema).

Custom Condition

Use this attribute to enter a custom XQuery condition to be combined with other given criteria.

Version

Use this attribute to select required versions of assets.

If you choose show all, the result list contains all versions of an object in which other criteria matched. If you choose newest only, only the latest version of an asset is displayed. If you choose exact match, you need to enter an additional parameter which is treated as version information. The search is conducted across system and user versions.

Revision

Use this attribute to search by checkpoint label or checkpoint range (time interval).

Use this attribute to search by revision label (user version) and/or revision range (time interval). You can enter a string value as the revision label. For the label startsWith, equals, notEquals and containsWord, operators are available as in search by name, with the same handling of wildcards. In addition a user can select date range to retrieve all revision created in the given data interval. A date based search does not require that a label is given. As search results the revision instances are retrieved (not the objects having that revision in history).

Extension Point Search

Use this attribute to specify a search criterion through a user-defined pluggable UI extension.

When you select this criterion, a field appears with a drop-down menu that shows all of the available extension points for a search. Select the required extension point.

Then click the Modify button. This invokes the user-defined Adapter (layout) screen for entering custom search-related settings.
