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 |

Release Management: Distribution and rollout phase
After acceptance training and testing is complete, the next step is to deploy the release into the production environment. The process depends on the type and nature of the release and on the selected release mechanism. In all cases, however, the Release Manager should be provided with status reports and, where appropriate, tools and technologies that enable tracking and monitoring of deployment progress. As changes are made to IT components during deployment, corresponding changes are made to the configuration items and relationships modeling them in the CMDB.
The following is a summary of the activities in the Distribution and Rollout phase:
- Selects a suitable deployment group for the release
- Ensures users are adequately trained in a timely manner for the maximum benefit from the release
- Deploys the release into the production environment
- Reviews the deployed release, taking into account feedback and comments from all parties involved
- Passes the feedback to the change manager for the change review process
Release Management has one out-of-box Update System task created for the Distribution and Rollout phase.
This phase of Release Management contains the plan and design approval type. This approval must be met in order to advance to the next phase (Verification).
