More Search Options

Overview

Using More Search Options involves a cascading series of selections and features to create a refined set of search parameters. Selections made at each step in the process will determine the specific features and functions displayed in the More Search Options dialog.

Performing a More Search Options Search

This procedure begins on the Oracle Enterprise Repository Assets screen.

  1. Click More Search Options. The More Search Options dialog is displayed. Note that the Filter by Categorizations option is selected by default, as is the Find results in ANY of the categorizations selected below radio button. (The actual list of categorizations is determined by the specific configuration of Oracle Enterprise Repository .)
  2. Enter an appropriate search string in the Enter Search String text box.
  3. Click the Search button at this point to run the search without further refinement. Search results are listed in the upper frame of the main pane of the Assets screen. The More Search Options dialog remains open to allow search refinement. The More Search Options dialog contains the Consumption Method list, which gets displayed only if you install the Harvester Solution Pack.
  4. You can search for harvested services based on a consumption method. In the Basic Search section, when you can select WSDL Ports from the Consumption Method list, the search returns the services that have a WSDL summary, an Endpoint defined in the WSDL, and a scope set to global. This Consumption Method list also can be used under the More Search Options.

Filtering More Search Options by Type and/or Registration Status

This procedure is performed in the More Search Options dialog.

Note: Registration Status is available as a search filtering option only if the Oracle Enterprise Repository Assets in Progress option is activated.

  1. Select an appropriate type from the Type list.
  2. As necessary, select the appropriate registration status from the Registration Status list.
  3. Click the Search button at this point to run the search without further filtering. Search results are listed in the upper frame of the main pane of the Assets screen. The More Search Options dialog remains open to allow search refinement.

Filtering More Search Options by Categorizations

This procedure is performed in the More Search Options dialog.

Select the appropriate radio button in the Filter by Categorizations section to locate the search string in Any or All of the selected Categorizations. Select the appropriate checkbox to determine the categorizations to be searched. Click the + icon next to any categorization to expand the sub-categorization tree to further refine the search. Click the Search button at this point to run the search without further filtering. Search results are listed in the upper frame of the main pane of the Assets screen. The More Search Options dialog remains open to allow search refinement.

Filtering More Search Options by Additional Criteria

This procedure is performed in the More Search Options dialog.

  1. Select the Filter by Additional Criteria checkbox. The Filter by Additional Criteria section is displayed. Note that the available options in the Select a Field list are determined by the selections made in Filtering More Search Options by Type and/or Registration Status.
  2. Select one of the options listed in the Select a Field list. This action will determine the visibility and contents of subsequent list menus in the Filter by Additional Criteria section . Select the appropriate additional parameter from the available lists. This selection will determine whether an additional list menu or a text box appears to the left of the Add button.
  3. As necessary, enter text in the text box, or select an item from the list.
  4. Click the Add button. The search parameter appears in the large text box.
  5. Add additional parameters as necessary.
  6. To remove a parameter:
    1. Select (single-click) the parameter.
    2. Click the Remove button.
