Search

The Search section for Resources lets you quickly find a specific virtual resource on a server, or find all virtual resources of a selected type on the server, that match the specified search criteria.

This section contains the following fields:

Server

Specifies the server on which the virtual resource resides. This field is required.

Notes:

The server list is controlled by CA EEM policies. Only the servers to which you have access are listed.
The server list includes only those CA Workload Automation AE instances defined in Configuration Manager that, unless the CA Workload Automation AE instance and the CA WCC server are sharing the same CA EEM server, also have valid credentials defined in the Credentials application.

Name

Specifies the name of the virtual resource you want to find. You can enter one or more names, separated by commas, or select a previously-defined name from the drop-down list. Alternatively, you can use the asterisk (*), percent (%), or question mark (?) with a partial name, where * or % represents zero or more characters and ? represents a single character. This field is required.

Machine

Specifies the name of the machine in which to search for the virtual resource. You can enter one or more names, separated by commas. Alternatively, you can use the asterisk (*), percent (%), or question mark (?) with a partial name, where * or % represents zero or more characters and ? represents a single character. Clicking opens the Select Machines dialog, from which you can select one or more machines on which to search.

Note: If no machine is selected, only global resources are returned.

Amount

Specifies the number of resources included in the definition. The amount may optionally be prefixed with a relational operator, if appropriate. Valid operators are =, !=, <, >, <=, and >=.

Type

Specifies the type of virtual resource to include in the search. Supported virtual resource types are Renewable, Depletable, and Threshold. You can select multiple check boxes to return multiple resource types matching the other search criteria. When you select multiple check boxes, CA WCC uses OR logic to evaluate the criteria. All types are selected by default.

Example: Selecting Threshold and Depletable only will display a list of all threshold and depletable resources that match the other search criteria.

Notes:

At least one resource type must be selected. If no resource type is selected, an error message will be displayed.
If the Machine field is left blank, then only global virtual resources will be returned no matter which check boxes are selected.
If a machine name is specified in the Machine field, and the Global check box is selected in the Type field, then machine-specific and global virtual resources are returned for the selected type in the Search Results section. For example, if * is entered in the Machine field, and the Threshold and Global check boxes are selected in the Type field, all global and machine-specific threshold virtual resources are listed in the Search Results section.

Description

Specifies an optional comment that describes the virtual resource. You can use the asterisk (*), percent (%), or question mark (?) with a partial name, where * or % represents zero or more characters and ? represents a single character, or select a previously-defined description from the drop-down list.
