Searching Locate
The Business Service Console allows you to search BEA AquaLogic Service Registry. You can search for providers, services, endpoints and interfaces. The tab also allows you to search for artifacts that have been published to BEA AquaLogic Service Registry.
Properties of search criteria are used in conjunction with one another. The search returns all records that satisfy any of the search criteria property values.
Searching functions are under the Search main menu tab.
We will explain how to search on the following examples:
Searching Providers Locate
To search for providers:
Click on the Search main menu tab. Click on the Search providers link in the right display area.
The page shown in Figure 6 appears. Enter search criteria. You can enter wild card characters. Click Find button.
Search results will be displayed on the page shown in Figure 7. To display complete information about the provider, click on the provider's name in the result view. The provider's details will be displayed in a new browser window.
On the page shown in Figure 7, you can also switch result views using the Result view drop down list. The default result view is configurable for each user profile. See Configuration for more information.
If the result view contains too many records, you can filter which records will be displayed as follows:
Select the Filter column on which you wish to apply the filter.
Enter the filter string in the Filter value edit box. Wildcards can be used. The "%" character is replaced by any number of characters. The "_" character is replaced by any single character. The end of the string is treated as if it has a "%" wildcard suffix so there is no need to add a terminating wildcard.
Click the Filter button. The view is updated with only those records matching the filter.
The result view table can view sorted by each column. To sort, just click on the appropriate column header.
Large result lists are divided into multiple pages. The number of records per page can be configured by administrator. See Paging Limits for details.
If you click on the provider's name, provider details will displayed as shown in Figure 8.
If you access a detail screen from the result view under the Catalog tab, the entity on the detail page can be edited or deleted. You can also promote the entity displayed on the detail screen or create a subscription.
Searching Endpoints Locate
To search for service endpoints:
Click on the Search main menu tab, and then select the Search endpoints link in the right display area.
On the page shown in Figure 9, enter your search criteria. You can enter wild card characters. When you have entered your criteria, click Find.
The search results will be displayed on the page shown in Figure 10. To display complete information about an endpoint, click on the access point name in the result view. Access point details will be displayed in a new browser window.
