To locate a RAS asset that is saved in a repository, you supply
keywords that are compared with parts of the RAS asset manifest files. You
can also perform a more complex search by building queries to search one
or more connected repositories.
About this task
When the asset creator exported the asset, the creator had the opportunity
to specify keywords to be used for searching.
To
search connected repositories for RAS assets:
Procedure
- In the Asset Explorer view, click the Open Search dialog button
. The
RAS Search page of the Search window opens.Note: You may need to enable the
Reusable Asset Management capabilities in the Preferences window if the Asset
Explorer view is not visible. (To set these capabilities, click ,
expand Workbench, and click Capabilities.)
- Under Search using, complete one of the
following steps:
- To search using keywords, click Keyword and
type one or more keywords, optionally including a wildcard character. Each
word must be delimited with a space. The search seeks whole or partial keyword
matches. The search keywords are not case-sensitive.
- Type an asterisk (*) to see all RAS assets that are contained in a
repository. When wildcard characters are used in your search, the asterisk
is replaced by zero or more characters and the question mark (?) is replaced
by one character.
- Select a keyword from list of previously used keywords.
- To search using a query, click Query and click Choose to
select an existing search query or create a new one. Note: Searching
on XDE repositories
using queries is not fully supported. The query is used as keywords and additional
query options like NOT, AND, and OR. are ignored.
- Under Scope, click All Open Repositories or Selected
Repositories, depending on what you want to search. To select
the repositories, click Choose.
- Click Search.
