The EP search is a custom search that is provided in the CICS Explorer® where you edit CICS® event bindings, EP adapter configurations, and other bundle resources in a CICS bundle project. The search is available in all perspectives in the CICS Explorer from the search menu or CTRL-H.
It is a separate tab in the search dialog for CICS Explorer. File search can be used for finding any text in the workspace, whereas the EP search is used to find matches for the named resource in event specifications and EP adapter configurations. The search function checks whether the specified name of the resource matches the predicate when it examines capture specification predicates. The EP search is specific to event processing.
