Nomads Search: excludes Dependency Definitions?

[PMM_CAI]

Greetings. Using PxP 2024. When I did a Search in Nomads for a routine in a Dependency Definition's logic, it did not get a hit when it turns out in fact it does exist.

E.g. the DD read Perform="SomePgmName;Some_routine"
I had it search for Some_routine.

I chose "Select All", and ensured that the search was case insensitive.

Does the search engine exclude DDs? If so, why?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Paula,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

We can duplicate the issue and will create a support ticket for tracking the fix required.

Many thanks, Susan! Any chance I could be in the loop to be notified when the fix is done?

Hi again Paula,

While we will investigate updating the NOMADS search you are using to also allow Dependency Logic to be searched, it occurred to me that there is another utility you may want to consider using.  For PxPlus 29023 Update 1, we added new functionality to the Library Bulk Edit and Search Utility to allow searches of NOMADS library files.

The utility you are currently using is only searching specific fields (corresponding to the selected check boxes) in the library files.  This Library Bulk and Search utility searches the entire contents of each record in the library file and displays matching records.  By examining the records it should be possible to determine the exact panel, control and attribute for each match.

Sorry - my previous post should have read 'PxPlus 2023 Update 1'.

Ah, so I take the "Search All" means all of the elements represented by the checkboxes and nothing further?

Exactly
