Veda2.0 Released!


Use of wildcards in Item Details / Template Sync
#1
Dear all,

I have recently observed the following behaviour in Veda2.0: "_" is treated as a wildcard for a single character when Veda2.0 synchronises templates, but not when searching through e.g. processes in Item details. For example, process R-SW_Att_GAS_HHPN1 would be included in a constraint if the filter R*_HPN* is used in a template, at the same time the process would not be shown in the Item Details when using that same filter. I wonder whether this is intentional or a bug of some sort?

Cheers,
Olex

"_" is allowed as a single-char wildcard in SYNC mainly for backward compatibility. "?" serves this purpose in the UI as well as in SYNC.

you can use enclose "_" in square brackets - "[_]", to disable its wildcard behavior.

Ok, thanks a lot, Amit! It would be great to be able to control this (i.e. usage of "_" for backward compatibility) through user settings in the UI and have it apply in the UI as well for consistency.

but why not use "?" in both places? "_" is often used in process/commodity/UC names.

Sorry, I mostly meant that in case one is able to control the usage of "_" through user settings in the UI, one could turn it off (i.e. the compatibility setting). :-) And having it apply within the UI would just alert users to how it is used (especially relevant for new users).

I frequently use "_" in process/commodity/UC names myself, so I don't use it as a wildcard...
