Search for Business Rule Groups page

The Search for Business Rule Groups page is for creating a search query to locate or narrow a specified set of business rules groups that you want to work with. You open the Search for Business Rule Groups page by clicking Search in the toolbar at the top of the business process rules manager.
On the Search for Business Rule Groups page, you can search by the target namespace, business rule group name, custom properties or any combination of these; you can add one or many custom properties, sort custom properties by their names in alphabetic ascending order, move properties up or down inside the property table, or delete custom properties.
The content area of the Search for Business Rule Groups page includes a Messages field and page-specific information sections with the following elements.

Search Data section

This section contains the following elements:

Name

Provides a text area for entering the name of the business rule group to search for. If you leave this value empty, it will not be included in the search context. The value you enter is used as both a name and a display name. Consequently, the search will look for business rule groups with either the names or the display names that match the entered name value. If you want to specifically search by either name or display name, but not both, you need to indicate such a search through property names.

Example: If you enter IBMSystemName for the name of a property and VIPGroup for the value of the property, the business process rules manager will search for business rule groups with the names, but not display names, matching VIPGroup.

Target Namespace

Provides a text area for entering the URL of the business rule group. If you leave this value empty, it will not be included in the search context.

Properties section

This section opens when you click Add Property and contains the following elements:

Logical Operator

Provides a drop-down list for selecting "And", "Or", or "Not" to create a search query containing multiple properties.

Name

Provides a text area for entering the name of the property. The name must be unique inside the Properties table of the search context and must not be empty.

Query Operator

Provides a drop-down list for selecting from four query operators for each search data field. The query operators are as follows.

Query Operator Description
is equal to Indicates that the value of a business rule group name, target name space, or property must match the specified string exactly.
is like Indicates that the query should look for business rule groups where the value of a business rule group name, target name space, or property is like the specified string. The string can contain wildcard characters. Use the percent character ('%') to specify a wildcard for any number of characters and use the underscore character ('_') to specify a single character wildcard. These wildcard characters must follow SQL syntax.
is not equal to Indicates that the value of the business rule group name, target name space, or property must not match the specified string.
is not like Indicates that the query should look for business rule groups where the value of a business rule group name, target name space, or property is not like the specified string. The string can contain wildcard characters as defined in the "like" operator.

Value

Provides a text area for entering the property value. The value can be empty and is taken into the Search context.

Example: If the value of property PayMethod is left empty and its query operator is set to "is not equal to," the Search will find all the business rule groups whose PayMethod property has the value set to a non-empty string.

Action

Enables moving a property up or down inside the property table and deleting custom properties.

Search Results section

This section contains the following elements:

Rule Groups

Lists the names of the business rule groups that the search query returned.

Status

Shows the status of the business rule group returned from the runtime as a search result. The status can be one of the following four kinds of status.
Tip: Clicking on a result business rule group opens its business rule group page.

Status Description
Same as Local Indicates that a copy of the result business rule group already exists in the business process rules manager and that its content and the content of the result business rule group are exactly the same. Thus, no further action is taken after the search.
Modified from Runtime Indicates that a copy of the result business rule group already exists in the business process rules manager. However, another user session modified the master copy, and so the contents of the local and result business rule groups are different. The business process rules manager will automatically update the local copy to get new modifications from the runtime.
Modified in Local Indicates that a copy of the result business rule group already exists in the business process rules manager. However, it has been modified by the current user. The business process rules manager will use the local copy for any further actions by the user.
New to Local Indicates that a copy of the result business rule group does not exist in the business process rules manager. In this case, the business process rules manager will create a local copy of the result business rule group and will also display it in the navigation pane.
