Procedure documentationCentral CTS Configuration Web UI - Searching and Refreshing Data

 

When the Central CTS Configuration Web UI is called, the system performs an initial search. The search criteria for the initial search may vary depending on the application that starts the Central CTS Configuration Web UI. If you start the UI directly, the system initially searches for all systems and system clusters in the transport landscape.

You can use the search function to perform a search according to specific criteria. By default, the search criteria are hidden. You can display them using Display Search Criteria. The results of the search are displayed in the work area.

The Refresh function is available in the work area. It refreshes the data for the systems and clusters that are displayed in the work area. Note that the refresh function does not perform a new search. It just refreshes the data for all systems that have been found using the search and for all clusters that have been created during the current session.

Procedure

Performing a Search

  1. To enable the search, choose Display Search Criteria.

  2. Enter your search criteria or select them from the value help. You can specify a range or use the asterisk (*).

  3. Optional: Select or deselect the options under Further Settings.

  4. To start the search, choose Search or Search and Hide Search Criteria as required.

    The systems and clusters that are found are displayed in the work area. The search criteria are either displayed or hidden depending on the option that you selected. If you select Search and Hide Search Criteria and no systems and clusters are found, the search criteria are still displayed.

  5. Reset Search Criteria resets the search criteria to the values with which the Central CTS Configuration Web UI was started.

Performing a Refresh

  1. To refresh the data in the work area, choose Refresh.

Example

You want to display all clusters that start with an A. You enter A* in the  Cluster ID field. Cluster AB1 is displayed.

Afterwards, you create cluster CD2. Cluster CD2 is also displayed in the work area. Then, another user adds systems to cluster CD2.

If you use the Refresh function, the data for both clusters AB1 and CD2 is refreshed in the work area. The systems that the other user has added are now displayed.

The other user then creates cluster AB3 in another session. If you use the Refresh function now, cluster AB3 will not be displayed because the refresh function only refreshes data in the work area. It does not perform a new search. To display cluster AB3, you need to perform a new search.
