Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Words and Phrases
| Search for | Example | Results |
|---|---|---|
| A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
|
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Using Boolean Operators
| Search for | Operator | Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
| Either word in a topic |
|
|
| Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
| Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Cross-table join query improvements
The performance when running a join across database tables has been vastly improved as compared to version of SMA Service Management prior to 9.32. Previously, a query running across two tables was performed in memory by Service Management. For data sets that contain millions of records, this process could be extremely time consuming.
The mechanism by which SMA Service Management executes queries across tables was changed in Service Manager 9.32. With the new mechanism, the initial Service Management query is parsed, translated into SQL, and then issued directly to the RDBMS. The RDBMS then handles the initial join operation and returns a subset of results to SMA Service Management. However, because the database now performs this work, a number of limitations are imposed. For more information on these limitations, see Limitations on cross-table join queries
Additionally, the new functionality is limited to the Service Management functions on the Cross-table join functions.
