Getting Started

Getting Started

Source Code Search is an OIE plugin — install it through the OIE Administrator Tool like any other plugin and restart the engine.

Opening the Search Dialog

Source Code Search can be launched from two locations within OIE Administrator.

From the Channels List

1. Navigate to the Channels view.
2. Optionally select one or more channels to narrow the search scope.
3. Click Source Code Search in the task pane on the left.

If channels are selected in the list, the "Selected Channels Only" checkbox becomes available in the search dialog.

From the Channel Editor

1. Open a channel for editing.
2. Click Source Code Search in the task pane.

When launched from the channel editor, the search is automatically scoped to the current channel. The Channels checkbox is locked on and "Selected Channels Only" is checked and greyed out.

Your First Search

1. Type a search term in the Search field (e.g., channelMap).
2. Press Enter or click Search.
3. The plugin first counts matches. If there are more than 5,000, you'll be prompted to continue or refine your query.
4. Results appear in a tree organized by artifact type, name, and location.

Understanding the Result Tree

Results are organized hierarchically:

Level	Description
Root	Artifact type — Channels, Code Templates, or Global Scripts
Name	Channel name, code template name (prefixed with library name), or global script name
Location	Script location path, e.g., Source > Transformer > Step 2 (Mapper): patientId
Match	Line number and matched text. The matching portion is highlighted in yellow.

The tree expands automatically after each search. Matching text within each result line is highlighted to help you quickly identify the match in context.
