Understanding Package Searches
Package searches can be performed in various ways. You can use preexisting queries to find packages, or you can create your own query and save it for future use. The preexisting queries are organized by type, release, and business purpose within the Search for Packages tree structure under the JD Edwards folder.
Queries in the JD Edwards folder are updated each time that you launch Change Assistant.
When you choose one of the predefined queries, the system populates the fields in the Search pane. You can update these fields as needed or create your own query by populating these fields manually.
If you customize a query, you can save it for future use within the My Queries folder. Queries within the My Queries folder are persistent and do not get overwritten. You can configure the predefined queries with date ranges or other filters and save these searches in the My Queries folder or any subfolder therein.
You have the ability to run all queries inside a query folder. The queries will be run in the order that they appear in the tree, the results will be displayed on a single tab, and any duplications will be excluded.
You can customize any query folder that you have created under the My Queries folder using the Folder Options dialog. This enables you to designate a folder as an aggregate folder. An aggregate folder enables you to arrange the child queries in a particular order by simply dragging them to the desired location, while a regular query folder sorts the queries alphabetically. You can also use the Folder Options dialog to disable searching at the folder level.
When you perform a search, the results are displayed on the right side of the form. Only the first twenty matches are displayed, and the results count is displayed above the grid. You can use the Page at a time button or the All Results button to continue fetching the results. Each search that you perform creates a new results tab.
