Running the Search Process

After you define and save your search criteria (and select the Search Ready check box), you are ready to run a search.

To run a search:

1. Select PeopleTools, and then Translations, and then Modify Terminology, and then Run Translations Search.

2. Search for an existing run control ID or add a new one.

   Use the standard search or add method to enter your run control ID and access the Run Translations Search page.

3. Verify that the appropriate search definitions will be processed.

   By default, the search includes all previously unprocessed search definitions (that is, definitions with the status New) where the Search Ready check box is selected. If a search appears here that you do not want to run, go back to the Search Profile page and clear the Search Ready check box. If a search is missing, go back to the Search Profile page and select the Search Ready check box.

   Click the View Search Criteria button to display a read-only version of the search criteria. This is useful when you want to confirm that you’re satisfied with the search criteria. Remember that running the search won’t affect your data, but it can still be inconvenient to run the wrong search, as you can’t go back and modify the search criteria.

4. Click Run.

   The Process Scheduler Request page appears.

5. Complete the Process Scheduler Request page.

   See Process Scheduler: Understanding Run Control IDs.

6. Click OK.

   The search runs. When the Search process is complete, you can navigate to the Translations Search Replace page to see the results.
