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.
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. |
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 |

Launch a View (showView)
Tip This technique launches views independent of the NNMi console. When using this URL method, do not launch the view into a browser window where the NNMi console is currently running. (If you are using Mozilla Firefox, see also Configure Mozilla Firefox Timeout Interval.) To continuously display up-to-date information in your network operation center (NOC), launch an Integration URL view.
To launch a default table view that displays all instances of a specified object type, use the following URL:
http://<serverName>:<portNumber>/nnm/launch?cmd= showView&objtype= <x>
Note If the NNMi Web server uses the https protocol, use https
instead of http
.
<serverName>
= the fully-qualified domain name of the NNMi management server (values allowed here are determined by the Enable URL Redirect setting in User Interface Configuration, see Configure the NNMi User Interface)
<portNumber>
= the NNMi HTTP port number
For a quick-reference list of all URL choices for launching NNMi, see Help → Documentation Library → Integrate NNMi Elsewhere with URLs. The Integrate NNMi Elsewhere with URLs page also contains a link to a list of sample URLs that you can copy/paste as a starting point.
Due to the Mozilla Firefox security implementation, launching an NNMi view with a URL has the following limitations:
- The Close button does not work.
- The File → Close menu item does not work.
Use the browser buttons to close the view.

nodegroup |
The case-sensitive Name attribute value of the Node Group to use as a filter for this view. Note The Node Group name is translated. If your team shares NNMi within multiple locales, use nodegroupid or nodegroupuuid. If the Name value includes space characters, consider replacing the space character in your URL statement (see W3C Rules for URLs). |

The This attribute value is not visible on any form within the console. To find this value, use the nnmconfigexport.ovpl command-line tool to export an XML file that includes the |

Attribute | Values |
---|---|
menus |
true = Show the view's button bar. If not specified, the default is true. false = Hide the view's button bar to save space in the view. |
newWindow |
true = Display the view in a new browser window. This new window does not display the browser-specific menu bars. The browser-specific menu bars are hidden to provide the maximum amount of room for the requested view. false = Display the view within the current browser window (if not specified, the default is false). |
readonly |
Caution The true = Prevents the user from doing either of the following:
false = Enables the user to do either of the following:
|
readonlygroupselector |
Caution The true = Prevents the user from selecting a Node Group. Note When false = Enables the user to select a Node Group. |
envattrs |
Use Environment Attributes ( For example, let’s assume that NNMi was launched from an application that wants to preserve a session ID (123) and object attribute (node25) as follows:
Note See Pass Environment Attributes for information about how to retrieve these Environment Attributes ( |
If you want to launch some other view, specify the view rather than the object type:
http://<serverName>:<portNumber>/nnm/launch?cmd= showView&view= <x>
