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.

SAV options

For SAV, you can specify the following options:

Virtualization settings
Scan time-out preference
Discovery settings
Reset all settings

Exporting properties information to .csv

You can export the information contained in any Properties pane to the .csv format, which enables you to view SAV object properties inside spreadsheet applications.

To export a Properties pane to .csv:

From inside of a SAV map or tier, select an object.
From inside the Properties pane for the selected object, click the Export View button.
In the Export to CSV window, choose a location and enter a file name (with the .csv extension), and then click Save.

Virtualization settings

You can configure SA Client options that allow you to choose whether or not you want to perform a scan on any virtual servers or hypervisors related to the virtual server you want to open in SAV.

For example, if you want to visualize a VMware virtual machine (VM) or Solaris zone in SAV, by default you will be asked if you also want to scan any virtualization relationships — in other words, the system asks if you want SAV to also scan the hypervisor that is hosting the selected virtual server. Depending upon the virtual server you select, SAV might have to scan several related virtual servers in order to visualize a single virtual server in SAV.

Conversely, if you select a hypervisor to open in SAV, you are asked if you want to scan any virtualization relationships — in this case, SAV would need to scan all of the hosted virtual servers, which could take a long time to perform.

Even if you do not request a virtual relationship scan, SAV will display the virtual machines it discovers. However, certain details such as the operating systems on those virtual machines will not be displayed unless you request a virtual relationship scan.

By default, SAV will always ask you if you want to scan virtual relationships, but you can set your own default behavior for scanning related virtual servers with the following virtualization options:

Ask each time if you want to scan related virtual and host servers.
Always scan related virtual and host servers.
Never scan related virtual and hypervisor servers.

To change the virtualization settings:

From the Edit menu, select Options.
In the Set Options window, in the Views pane, select Service Automation Visualizer.
Specify your desired Virtualization Settings, then click OK when you are finished.

Scan time-out preference

SAV is optimized to scan a maximum of 50 servers. A number of factors affect the time it takes for a scan to complete, including the load on the scanned servers and the load on SA. The default scan time-out is set to 300 seconds. You can reset this time-out value to a minimum of 30 seconds or to a maximum of 3600 seconds.

To change the scan time-out:

From the Edit menu, select Options.
In the Set Options window, in the Views pane, select Service Automation Visualizer.
In the Scan Time-out section, move the slider to increase or decrease the number of seconds at which you want the scanning process to stop.
Click OK to save your changes or click Cancel to close the window without saving your changes.

Discovery settings

If servers are scanned and it is determined that they are dependent on external IP addresses, when this option is selected SAV attempts to determine which servers or network devices those IP addresses refer to.

Keep in mind that this could cause scan time to increase, depending on the numbers of servers you selected for the scan and how many remote dependencies are discovered.

For recurring background business application snapshots, this detection is always done and cannot be turned off.

Reset all settings

Restores all SAV settings to their defaults, including resizing and repositioning all tabbed views.

You can also access these options from inside the SA Client by selecting Options from the Tools menu.
