Adjusting the maximum search results for the Organizations view

In the Organization View, you can configure the maximum number of search results that are returned when you are searching for employees or organizations.

The default number of the maximum search result is 200. Only 200 or fewer results should be returned and displayed in the results table. If the search query returns more than this number, an error occurs and a message informs you that your results exceed the maximum. In this case, you have two options: either narrow your search query to return fewer results or increase the maximum number of search results.

You use the WebSphere® Member Manager (WMM) to configure the maximum search results property. WMM is used by the WebSphere Portal on which the Dashboard Client component is installed to communicate with the LDAP Server (or any user registry server) that contains the employees and organizations information.

To increase the maximum search results, perform the following steps:

  1. Edit the file named wmm.xml that is located under the <WebSphere_Portal_Installation_Directory>\wmm\ directory using a text editor.
  2. Locate the line that contains: maximumSearchResults='200'.
  3. Change this value to your search results limit. If you type 0 or a negative number, there will be no limit, and all search results will be returned.
  4. Save and close the file.
  5. Restart the WebSphere Portal.
