Introduction to the Globals Page

Introduction to the Globals Page

The Management Portal includes the Globals page, which allows you to view, and edit globals in different ways. To access this page from the Management Portal home page:

1. Select System Explorer > Globals.

2. Select the namespace or database of interest:

   • Select either Namespaces or Databases from the Lookin list.

   • Select the desired namespace or database from the displayed list.

   Selecting a namespace or database updates the page to display its globals.

3. If you are looking for a particular global and do not initially see its name:

   • Optionally specify a search mask. To do so, enter a value into the Globals field. If you end the string with an asterisk “*”, the asterisk is treated as a wildcard, and the page displays each global whose name begins with the string before the asterisk.

     After entering a value, press Enter.

   • Optionally select System items to include all system globals in the search.

   • Optionally select Show SQL Table Names to include Table and Usage columns in the globals table. If a global is used with an SQL table, these columns display the name of that table and its usage, such as whether it is a data/master map or a type of index.

   • Optionally select a value from Page size, which controls the number of globals to list on any page.
