I’m trying to search for an DA that has a short name. In this case it’s “SMS”. I have a DA named “SMS”, also lots and lots of objects with SMS as part of the name. Search returns the other objects, but not the DA. I can’t filter it down any more in the search, such as using more characters, since there are none.
So if I want to scope a perspective to the “SMS” DA, I can’t as it does not appear in the first 8 entries in the search box.
Anyone got any ideas on how to get the search to be more specific?
To get to my DA I had to create a view of all DA’s to be able to drill down to the one I wanted.
After tinkering over last few hours, the only way I can see is to rename the DA to something unique. Link the perspectives, then rename the DA back again.
A bit of a workaround, but open to any other ideas
Search for the object twice. Here I search for the Operations Manager Management Group DA, by typing Operations Manager Management Group Operations Manager Management Group
Where the DA essentially becomes a class of its own, the DA will display as the same class as its name. Hopefully, even with your objects with SMS in the name, few will have it twice ?
Other options:
Open the DA from the inbuilt dashboard for Distributed Applications
Create a status tile with advanced scope, using Service as the class and DisplayName LIKE ‘SMS’ as the criteria
Send a request into Support to see if there’s anything they can suggest!
The limit on search results is pretty annoying at times ?
