You can find objects in the source or target trees and
in the outline view of the mapping editor.
Before you begin
Open a mapping model that contains source
and target schemas.
About this task
You can search by the name of the object, which is the
name that is usually displayed in the tree. You can also search for
objects in the outline view of the mapping editor. The search is performed
in the currently activated tree. All children of each node in the
tree are searched. When the appropriate node is found, that node is
selected in the tree. Only one Find window can be open at a time.
As you select different nodes in the tree, the Find window connects
to that tree. The currently selected object is the starting point
for the search and the search field in the dialog is initialized with
the text of the selected object.
