Jobs > Target groups.

Find results. Specify Find parameters to limit the search for target groups.

Parameter name Operators Search strings
Group name Valid operators are = (equal to) and != (not equal to). The default operator is =. String or partial string of a parameter. A partial string is designated using an asterisk (*). For example, setting the group name parameter to Region* finds all jobs with a group name that starts with Region. We can search on an exact match for multiple items by including the items to match separated by commas. For example, you can search on two group names by entering Region1, Region2. When you search on more than one item, you cannot use the asterisk.
The default search string for group name is *.
Job type Valid operators are = (equal to), != (not equal to), is null, and is not null. The default operator is =.
Description
Maximum results Not applicable The search string specifies the number of records that the find operation displays. Enter a value between one and the maximum number of records that can be retrieved as defined in the job manager configuration. The default is 50.
