Find targets
Use this page to build a list of targets that you can use to choose the targets on which you want the job to run. You can also find targets to add to a group of targets.
- On step 2 of the Job submission wizard, select Find.
- Click .
Click Find to list targets that are registered with the job manager.
To specify targets on which you want the job to run, select one or more targets in the Excluded targets list and click >. The selected targets are moved to the Chosen targets list.
To move targets from the Chosen targets list, select the targets and click <. The selected targets are moved to the Excluded targets list.
Find
Specifies parameters to limit the search for targets. By default, all targets are searched. After you click Find, the Find results are displayed in Excluded targets. Click Reset to assign the parameters the default values.
The following table lists Find parameters. The target type, target name, job type, and unique identifier parameters define targets and are always available. The advanced find options are for the target properties, dynamic and built at run time. The dynamic parameters are displayed when you click Advanced find options. The maximum results parameter specifies the number of records to display.
Parameter name | Operators | Search strings |
---|---|---|
Target type | Valid operators include All, Host, and Node. By default, all target types are searched. | Not applicable |
Target name | Valid operators are = (equal to) and != (not equal to). The default operator is =. | The search string specifies the
string or partial string of a parameter. A partial string is designated using an asterisk (*). For example, to find all jobs with a target name that starts with Node, set the target name parameter to Node*. To search for an exact match for multiple items, include comma-separated items. For example, to search on two target names, specify Node1, Node2. When you search for more than one item, you cannot use the asterisk. Example: If the targets are AppSvr01, AppSvr02, AppSvr03, and Test01, you can specify the = operator and the App* search string for the Target name parameter, then click Find. The target names displayed are AppSvr01, AppSvr02, and AppSvr03. |
Job type | Valid operators are = (equal to), != (not equal to), is null, and is not null. The default operator is =. | |

Advanced find options These options are dynamic parameters for target properties that are built at run time. The list of options depends upon your runtime environment. |

Resources Enables you to further narrow the list of targets to find targets that do or do not have specific resources. For example, to find targets that have a server named server1. |
Specify query conditions to find resources.
To add more conditions to the first query, click To narrow the search and add a query that
changes the With | Without toggle button, click |
The value that you specify for the resource property is like
a search string. You can use an asterisk (*) to designate
a partial string. You can also specify comma-separated items to search
on multiple values. When you search for more than one item, do not
use the asterisk. Example: To find targets that have stopped applications, specify the following query conditions:
Then click Find. The table lists targets that have stopped applications. To narrow the search to targets
that have stopped applications and that do not have a server named server1,
specify the previous query. Then, click
Click Find. |
Maximum results | Not applicable | The search string specifies the number of records that the find operation displays. Enter a value between one and the maximum number of records that can be retrieved as defined in the job manager configuration. The default value is 50. |
Excluded targets
Specifies the initial results of the Find option. The targets are not included in the list you are building until you click > to move targets into the chosen targets list. You can select multiple items in the list, and move them simultaneously.
Chosen targets
Specifies the list of targets to be included in the group of targets that you are creating. Click < to move targets into the excluded targets list. You can select multiple items in the list, and move them simultaneously.
