How to Install a New Search

There are several ways of adding new searches to the iConsole. For example, you can customize an existing search or derive a new search from an existing search. This section describes how to install a completely new search.

Follow these steps:

  1. Install an XML search definition file onto the CMS.

    This file defines the search parameters and the layout of the search results screen. It also references a stored procedure (SP) in the CMS database.

  2. Test the new search.

    You need to confirm that the search correctly references the SP and returns a valid set of search results.

  3. Publish the new search.

    When you publish a new search, it becomes available to all other iConsole users and is added to the Searches list.
