Search results with Packages : issue

[Guillaume]

Hi,

I've created a custom search (SQL) using the Builder.
here is a simplified version to test :
SELECT ea_guid AS CLASSGUID,  name as Package from t_package

I use CLASSGUID so that EA can find my Package in the Project Browser.
However when I right click on a result from the list, Find in Project Browser is disabled.
This is odd since the keyboard shortcut Alt-G works... I can also access the Package's properties when I double click onto it.

Is this a bug?

Hi Guillaume,

you have forgotten to define the type (CLASSTYPE):

Code: [Select]

SELECT ea_guid AS CLASSGUID, 'Package' AS CLASSTYPE,  name as Package from t_package

Consider using t_object (depends what you want to know):

Code: [Select]

SELECT ea_guid AS CLASSGUID, object_type  AS CLASSTYPE,  name, stereotype  
from t_object
where object_type = 'Package'

Thanks Helmut. I wasn't sure I could use "classtype".

I managed to get it to work and published my user defined search alongside an illustration in the following article:
