Searching for services

You can search for services that are exposed by StreamServer applications within your sites and application domains. The search operation gives you a list of the found services, including their version numbers, according to you search criteria. For each service you get information on the StreamServer application name and the location of it, i.e. in which site and application domain the application is used.

Note:

The service version is identical to the Project version deployed to the StreamServer application.

1	In Control Center, right-click a site or an application domain where you want to search for services, and select Search.
