Maximum Pages Per Search

The Maximum Pages Per Search affects the text search within reports.

When a user searches for a particular string of text in a report, the search normally continues until the end of the report if the search term is not found. However, in the case of extremely large reports, this can be time consuming and the user might not want to continue the search.

CA OM Web Viewer allows the user to break the search into segments. This setting controls the range of pages that can be searched at one time.

For example, if the limit is 10,000 pages, the first 10,000 pages will be searched. The user will be given the option to either continue or cancel the search.

Follow these steps to set the Maximum Pages Per Search:

1. From the Administration tab, click the Preferences subtab:
2. Click the General Preferences link and locate the Search section.
3. Enter the number of pages in the Maximum Pages Per Search text box.

   The text search will automatically break after this number of pages to see if the user wishes to continue.

4. Click Update at the top right of the pane.

   The Maximum Pages Per Search value is updated.
