Searching for Declarations of Methods/Processes/Runnables

In the Component Manager, open the database or workspace you want to search.

Do one of the following:

• From the Edit menu, select Search.
• Press <Ctrl> + <q>.

The Search window opens.

3. In the Enter a string field, enter the name of the method/process/runnable entity you are searching for.

   * activates a case-insensitive wildcard search. You can place one or more * anywhere in the search string.

   If you enter no wildcard, and no item matching the search string is found, the system automatically inserts wildcards at the beginning and end of the search string.

   EXAMPLES
