Specifies the description to display to users that explains the valid search pattern criteria.
Type
public String searchPatternDesc
Notes
The searchPatternDesc member variable stores the search-pattern description, which displays on the Enter a Search Pattern dialog box. Business Object Wizard displays this dialog box when the user right-clicks a source node and clicks Search for items. This description provides information about semantics that the user should use to specify search criteria; that is, it describes what search criteria the ODA implements. This member variable contains a valid value only when the searchableNodes member variable is true. If the ODA supports the search-pattern feature, it should initialize the searchPatternDesc member variable as part of the getMetaData() method in the ODA class. For more information, see Implementing the search-pattern feature.
