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 |

Example: Interface to another system
This is an example for interfacing the Service Manager ServiceCatalog with HPE’s PPM Demand service via Web Services.
When writing an interface to a different system, it is very important to understand the data structure and the methods available, as well as understand how to interpret the generated JavaScript code. In this example, we will not only discuss the methods and fields published by the WSDL, but reading the generated code to successfully write the invoking code as well.
- Determine the correct URL to enter into the WSDL to JS tool, check with the PPM administrator.
- In Service Manager, go to Menu Navigator and click Utilities > Tools > Web Services. Click Run WSDL to JS.
- Enter the URL to the WSDL, such as http://<hostname>:8080/itg/ppmservices/DemandService?wsdl.
- Click Proceed.
- Click Add to add the new ScriptLibrary record called DemandService.
- Write an interfacing JavaScript record in the ScriptLibrary called DemandServiceInvoke.
