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	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

Launch a Topology Maps Workspace View

The URL required for each one is unique.

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. The view automatically updates every 30 seconds. This is useful if your network operation center (NOC) continuously displays a map of the most important nodes. See Configure Maps. (If you use the Mozilla Firefox browser and are prompted to click Continue before the map appears, see Configure Mozilla Firefox Timeout Interval.)

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.

Click here to show the example of a URL that opens the Node Group Overview map (cmd=showNodeGroupOverview).

http:/<serverName>:<portNumber>/nnm/launch?cmd= showNodeGroupOverview

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

The following are optional parameters:

http://<serverName>:<portNumber>/nnm/launch?cmd= showNodeGroupOverview&menus= <true/false>&newWindow= <true/false>&readonly= <true|false>&envattrs= <name1= value>;<name2= value>

Note If you copy/paste this URL, remove the spaces that were added for line-ending purposes in the documentation.

Attributes for Launched Views
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	true = Prevents the user from doing either of the following: Open any forms from the view Manipulate any objects in the view (for example, delete an object) false = Enables the user to do either of the following: Open any forms from the view Manipulate any objects in the view (for example, delete an object)
envattrs	Use Environment Attributes (`envattrs`) to pass `<name=value>` pairs from an external application to NNMi. Environment Attributes are session-specific and stored in memory (not in the NNMi database). The name-value pairs can be any arbitrary string (as required by the external program). 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: `http://<yourServerName/nnm?cmd= showView&objtype= Node&envattrs= com.my.sessionId= 123;com.my.objectName= node25` Note See Pass Environment Attributes for information about how to retrieve these Environment Attributes (`envattrs`) `<name=value>` pairs from NNMi, and pass them back to the originating external application.
