  • 1.  Additional Search Arguments for CI in Change

    Posted Aug 28, 2017 03:23 AM

    I need to search change tickets based on CI name from the front end.

    Can it be done using additional search arguments?

    I checked with a couple of combinations like nr.resource_name etc...but it did not work.

    Hi Chirag,

    Typically to do a search for changes that have a specific CI, most folks use the change calendar, where the filter has a search for CI, and it will pull back all scheduled changes for that CI.  

    I will try to see if there is another way to add a search field for CIs to the change order search filter - I have a feeling it was left out purposely for performance reasons due to the joins that have to occur (CIs are not stored in the Chg object itself and its many-to-one relationship meaning you can have multiple CIs on a change order - so the join is a bit complex and requires a bit of overhead to query).

    Hope this helps a bit - I will let you know if I can think of any other ways here.

    Thanks,

    Jon I.

    Chirag, the schema of this relation is

     asset                BREL <- lrel_asset_chgnr.chg (LREL nr) {chg = ?}

    With this BREL, I don't think you can use the additional search argument in list_chg.htmpl page. Thanks _Chi

    Hi,

    you can try this one:

    <PDM_MACRO name=sfLookup hdr="CI" attr="asset.nr.name" factory="nr">

    I recomend to check this in test env first because searching over BLREL can cause huge DB load.
