EOEC_FIND_NAV |
Specify navigation path search criteria. |
This utility uses the object ID and portal tables to locate the target objects, allowing you to enter a component name, page name, or content reference (CREF) name and portal name to locate all of the navigation paths. Select your search criteria to populate and display a grid with the navigation for your search parameters. The full navigation path is given along with URL links that take you to a new browser for the navigation that you specified.
Use the Find Object Navigation page (EOEC_FIND_NAV) to specify navigation path search criteria.
