Toolbar searching

You can use the toolbar to search for resources by type, name (ID), or region.

Finding a resource

Use the resource menu to search for a specific resource type by clicking Find > Resource:

Screen capture of the resource type list that includes: Resource, Program, Transaction, File, Map, TS, TD, Cursor, Table, View, Statement, Webservice, SERVICE, Queue, PCB, and PSB.

Filtering by ID

Use the Filter by ID text field to find a resource by name. You can use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard, so if you enter SAM* all IDs that start with SAM are found. The search is performed across all resource types and all regions.

Screen capture the Filter by ID text field in the search toolbar with drop-down showing previous searches.

When you start typing in the Filter by ID text field, a list of previously entered text is displayed, showing records that begin with the text you previously entered. You can select any of these text entries to search using that text again.

Select an entry from the list by double-clicking it, and press Enter to search using this value. Up to 128 previous searches are stored in the Filter by ID text field drop-down list.

Filtering by region

Use the Filter by Region text field to find a resource by region. You can use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard, so if you enter ABC* all resources in all regions that start with ABC are found. The Filter by Region text field stores a history of previously searched text that you can select to repeat the search.

Running the search

To begin the search press Enter with the focus in either the Filter by ID or Filter by Region fields. The results of the search are shown in the Show Resources view.

To run more detailed searches, use the Query window. To open this window, click Window > Show View > Other and select Queries from the menu. See Queries view for more information.
