Search for Business Identifier Values

You can search for primary and secondary business identifier values on the Instances page during runtime. You can perform simple searches, phrase match searches, and exact match searches. This section provides examples of performing each search type.

1. In the navigation pane, click Observability, then Instances.
2. Use the Search field to search for values across both primary and secondary business identifiers.

   Results are displayed for any integration on which a primary business identifier is set, including the business identifier and value, the instance identifier of the integration, and the state of the integration (for example, completed, failed, or aborted). You can show the name and value of tracking variables.

   For canceled instances, the running time does not point to the actual time the canceled (faulted) instance was running. Instead, it consists of the total time span between when the instance began and when the instance was manually canceled.

   
   
   

   The Search field provides many capabilities:

   • Search for Primary and Secondary Business Identifier Values
   • Perform a Simple Search
   • Perform a Phrase Match Search
   • Perform an Exact Match Search

   Note:

   • Partial word searches are not supported. For example, assume one business identifier value is New York and another is New Orleans and both belong to different instance IDs. If you enter New as your search criterion, both instances are displayed because New and York are considered separate words. White space is considered a word separator.
   • Underscores are not considered word separators. For example if the values are New_York and New_Orleans, and you enter New as the search criterion, neither instance is displayed because New_York is considered a complete word and partial word matches/searches are not supported. This is the case only with underscores. All other special characters (for example, periods, commas, and others) are considered word separators.

Search for Primary and Secondary Business Identifier Values

1. Enter a value, and press Enter. For example, assume the primary value is James. In the search results, any instances that have a primary value of James are returned. Any instances with a secondary value that includes James (for example, [e-mail]) are also returned.
2. Search only for primary business identifier values by entering the value as primary: value or Primary: value in the Search field.

   
   
   

   Note:

   • If you enter a primary business identifier in the Search field, but do not press Enter, then select a value from the time period drop-down list, note that the instances are filtered considering the string entered in the Search field, even though Enter was not pressed. This is the expected behavior and is true for other landing pages in Oracle Integration.

   • The search facility on the Instances page is case sensitive.

Perform a Simple Search

1. Enter a value in the Search field, and press Enter. For example:

   125-78-2345

   This returns all instances that include part of that business identifier value.

   
   
   

2. Enter a value with white space in the Search field, and press Enter. For example:

   125-78-2345 York

   Note that each individual part of the value is treated as a separate value (125, 78, 2345, and York are all considered separate). Any business identifier value found containing at least one of these values is returned. A simple search is similar to a web browser search.

   
   
   

Perform a Phrase Match Search

You can perform a phrase match search by enclosing your value in double quotes. Phrase matches are useful when you need to search for primary and secondary business identifier values containing special characters and white spaces.

1. Enter a value in the Search field, and press Enter. For example:

   "125-78-2345 York"

2. Note that exact values are returned. Without the double quotes, each individual part would be considered a separate searchable value: 125, 78, 2345, and York.

   
   
   

   Note that exact phrase match searches can also return the exact match, plus any additional values at the beginning or end of the enclosed value. Consider the following example.

3. Enter a value in the Search field, and press Enter. For example:

   "125-78-2345 Delhi"

   This returns any value that matches, plus any additional values. In this case, both 125-78-2345 Delhi and 125-78-2345 Delhi India are returned.

   
   
   

Perform an Exact Match Search

You can return an exact match search by enclosing the business identifier value in brackets ([ and ]). This search returns only exact match values.

1. Enter a value in brackets in the Search field, and press Enter. For example:

   [125-78-2345 Delhi]

2. View the results. Only exact matches are returned.
