Use Find to locate a metadata element within a UI component, such as the Metadata Navigator, the Minischema pane, the Data Sources tab or Minischema tab in the Source Navigator.
To find a metadata element:
Place the cursor within the Essbase Studio Console UI component in which you want to perform a find.
For example, to find a metadata element within the graphical view of the minischema, open the minischema by right-clicking on it in the Minischema tab of the Source Navigator and select Edit.
In the Find text box, enter the find string.
For example, to locate tables or columns in a minischema containing the string, product, type product in the Find text box.
Optional: Select options to refine the Find:
Match Case—Find only metadata elements that exactly match your find string.
For example, if you enter Product as your find string and select Match Case, the find locates only metadata elements called “Product;” it will not locate metadata elements called “PRODUCT.”
Match Word—Find only elements that match your find string and are whole words.
For example, if you enter product as your find string and select Match Word, the find locates only metadata elements called “product;” it will not locate metadata elements called “productdim.”
Apply to current selection—Find only elements within a certain on-screen selection.
For example, if you select one or more folders in the Metadata Navigator, enter a find string, and then select the “Apply to current selection” option, the find is performed only within the selected folders.
Within the UI element you selected, the find stops on the first occurrence of your find string and highlights it in yellow. For example, if you performed a find on an entire minischema in the minischema pane, the find stops on the first occurrence of the find string within the minischema, whether it is a minischema table or column.
Click Find again to locate the next occurrence of the find string.
Repeat step 6 until the message “No more occurrences” is displayed at the bottom of the Find dialog box.
