Search for PIUnitBatches

Search for PIUnitBatches on the selected server or the server of any selected PIUnit .

1. Click Search for PIUnitBatch button, or right-click the server or PIUnit and then click Search for PIUnitBatches.

2. Enter search criteria in the Search window.

   When the window opens, the PI Server and PIUnit fields are pre-populated, depending on how you opened the window:

   • If you select Search for PIUnitBatches while a server icon is selected, the PI Server field will contain the name of the selected server and the PIUnit field will contain the default mask of *.

   • If you select Search for PIUnitBatches while a PIUnit icon is selected, the PI Server field will be blank and the PIUnit field will contain the fully qualified path of the selected PIUnit.

3. Use one of two different methods to indicate which PIUnits to search against:

   • Enter a mask to the PIUnit field. For example, type R-4* to search all PIUnits that begin with R-4. When you click Search, the search is executed on the selected server for all PIUnits that have names that match the entered PIUnit mask.

   • Enter the fully qualified path to a specific PIUnit in the PIUnit field to search that PIUnit. This takes the form of \\Server\PIModule\PIModule\.... The window automatically recognizes the \\ and expects the PIUnit field to contain a path to a PIUnit. At the same time, the window clears and disables the PI Server field because the server is provided by the PIUnit path.

4. Click Search to execute the search.

   If the search succeeds, the window closes and the results are displayed in the Search results list in the Batch Database tool.
