Use the event processing (EP) search function to search
event bindings and EP adapter configurations for named resources.
You can also search installed CICS® resources.
About this task
The EP search is a separate tab in the search dialog for
the
CICS Explorer®.
Procedure
- From the workbench menu bar, click to open the search window,
or press CTRL+H.
- Click the EP Search tab and type
the search string. Select the Case sensitive check
box to make the search case sensitive.
- Optional: Select the Search for
resource type check box and select an entry from the drop-down
box. You can limit the search to any one or more of the
context, event options, or EP adapters, by selecting the associated
check box. The EP adapter check box is disabled when online search
is selected, this means that you cannot search for EP adapters in
an online CICS system.
- Optional: Clear the Ignore predicates
with operator "All" check box. The default
setting for a predicate in a capture specification is All;
when this check box is not selected, you receive search matches for
all of these default predicates. It is likely that you want to search
for capture specifications where the predicates specify filters such
as Equals or Starts with for
the resource name, so this box is selected by default.
- Click one or more options in the Search for
source information field to search in application data
or in information sources for variable names, structure names, or
file names.
- Optional: Click Customize to
set the scope of your search to a file search, EP search, or both.
Click OK. This setting is saved
across search sessions.
- In the Search scope field, click Workspace to
search your work space, or CICS resources installed in and
then select a CICSplex from the drop-down box.
- Click Search.
Results
The Search results tab opens. Click the plus sign (+) to
expand all of the results, which show the event specification, capture
specification, and location where the search match is. You can double-click
on any of these to load the result into the editor and display it.
