Summary:

Can I use the BES Console to search for OVAL elements?

Solution:

From the Fixlet messages tab of the BES Console, select Edit, Find. In the Find dialog, set the search field to "Any" the search operator to "Contains" and the search value to the OVAL ID in the form OVAL##, e.g. OVAL98 or OVAL1032.

From the results group, double click on the Fixlet message corresponding to the OVAL ID to open it in the console and select "Show Message Properties" from the View menu to display the security elements that make up the specific OVAL definition.
