Object Search and Selection
When you select a connection, you can search for the object or objects that you want to use. You can search for objects in mappings and task wizards.
When you search for an object, the Select Object dialog box displays the first 200 objects available for the connection. You can select one of the objects or you can enter a search string. To begin a search, click Search or press Enter.
A search returns a maximum of 200 objects. If your search returns 200 objects without displaying the object that you want to use, enter a more specific search string.
You can use the object search at any time, but you must use the object search when the selected connection returns more than 200 objects. For Data Synchronization and Mapping Configuration tasks, use object search when the connection responds slowly.
Use the following guidelines when you enter a search string:
- •Use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard character.
- •Use quotation marks (") to perform an exact search. An exact search is case-sensitive.
- •The following table describes the search parameters that you can use based on connection type:
Connection Type | Search Parameters |
|---|
Databases | Name |
Flat File | Name |
