Support for Filter and Search

For standard message bodies, each property of the message is directly searchable in the Management Portal. That is, the user can use the property for searching or filtering without having to know its path.

By default, with the exception of the message identifier, none of the data in an virtual document is directly searchable in the Management Portal. That is, a user must know the property path for a data item in order to use that item for searching or filtering.

To assist the user, you can use the following mechanism to make virtual properties directly searchable:

  • You define a search table class; this class uses virtual property paths to define the searchable properties.

  • You configure the applicable business hosts to use the search table class.

    As the business host receives messages, InterSystems IRIS indexes these properties as if they were properties in a standard message body.

Users can then use these properties directly without having to know the property paths that they use. For example:
