Locate Resource Dialog

To locate a resource in any RODM view, do the following:

  1. Enter the fully-qualified name of the resource you want to find. Do not use wildcard characters. For SNA resources that are known to multiple networks, you may want to specify the network identifier to limit the number of views presented.
  2. Optionally, select Extended Search to use the SNA topology manager to dynamically discover the specified resource in the network. Selecting this option will cause the search to take longer.
  3. Select Locate to see any views that contain the specified resource.

If the resource is found in only one view, that view is automatically opened and displayed. If the resource is found in more than one view, a list of views is displayed. Once you have selected a view from the list, it is opened and added to the business tree under the Located Views branch. The name associated with the view added to the tree is generated by concatenating the located resource name and the name of the view in which it was found.

The context menu in the business tree for these views will not contain any resource specific menu items.
