49 Managing Operational Settings Using Smart Search

You can use the Oracle Service Bus Smart Search utility for searching and managing resources such as proxy services, business services, alert rules for Service Level Agreements (SLA) violations, and alert destinations. You can use this utility to search for resources based on the various criteria regardless of your role in Oracle Service Bus. For more information about tasks, which can be performed by each role Oracle Service Bus, see Chapter 43, "Roles in Oracle Service Bus."

You can also use results of a search to change the operational settings at the service level. For effectively enabling or disabling any operational setting, you must enable or disable the setting both at the global level and the service level. For more information, see Section 44.7.1, "How to Configure the Operational Settings for a Service."

You can access Smart Search from the Configuration module on the Operations navigator bar (see Figure 49-1).
