Searching for an Object

The HPCA Console provides the ability to search for directory objects. This search is contextual. This means that when you initiate a search, the root of that search is the current directory object. You can initiate a search from either the main window or the Directory Object window—both contain a search button.

Note: Directory Objects that contain a large number of children may time out when retrieving a large number of records. Although the console may time out, the background process will continue to retrieve data until it reaches 10,000 records. If this happens, click the Refresh button to try the request again.

For directory objects with greater than 5000 child nodes, use the Search interface to navigate to a node within that list. This method will allow you to bypass possible time outs when browsing nodes with a large number of children.

To search for a directory object:

  1. From the Management tab, Directories area, click the Search Directories button.
  2. From the Directory Search box, you can define the following parameters:
  3. Click Search. The objects that match the criteria you specified are listed in the Search Results table.
  4. Click Reset to begin a new search.
