Any capability to make advanced Global Configuration Search ?
Hi,
In Jazz, it seems the only capability to search a Global Configuration artefact (Streams, Baseline...) is
by defining :
- The type of Configuration (Stream, Baseline...)
- The name (simple wildcard support)
- The tag
I definitely need to be able to make my request based on some attributes (custom or not) as for example the "branch" attribute for a Stream.
Ideally I would like to be able to define "predefined" queries on Global Configuration artefacts ?
If there is no way I definitely think it would be a very very useful enhancement.
Thanks for your

You are correct in noting that the web UI search is limited to type, name, and tag. I have submitted 423954: As a web UI user, I want to be able to find GCM artifacts based on any attribute value per your enhancement request. Feel free to add comments.
GCM 6.0.4 supports OSLC queries on global components and global configurations, and these cover queries on custom attribute values and link values. However, that's using REST APIs, not the web UI. One thing to remember about querying for custom attributes is that attribute values of data type "String" cannot be queried in any way in GCM because they are large strings and not queryable in the repository.
You can also use LQE to query data using SPARQL and/or perform full text search since global components, global configurations and their custom attribute and link values should all be indexed in LQE. You can, to a more limited extent, use JRS, since that uses LQE.
