Description

This session provides methods for searching among ProcessEnabler objects. The search query is constructed using the ProcessEnableryQuery .

getProcessEnablersByQuery() is the basic search method and returns a list of ProcessEnablers . A more advanced search may be performed with getProcessEnablersBySearch() . It accepts a ProcessEnablerSearch in addition to the query for the purpose of specifying additional options affecting the entire search, such as workflow. getProcessEnablersBySearch() returns a ProcessEnablerSearchResults that can be used to access the resulting ProcessEnablerList or be used to perform a search within the result set through ProcessEnablerSearch .

This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching.

  • federated office view: searches include process enabler in office of which this office is an ancestor in the office hierarchy
  • isolated office view: searches are restricted to process enabler in this office
ProcessEnablers may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the ProcessEnablerQuery .
