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 |

Uninstalling RPM packages
With SA you can uninstall RPM packages and downgrade to a previous version of the RPM package using policies. To uninstall an RPM package from a managed server, you must first detach the policy from the server and then remediate the server against the software policy. See Detaching a software policy from the managed server for information on how to detach a policy from a server.
When you remediate the server, SA uninstalls the RPM package specified in the policy from the server and the dependent packages for the specified RPM package. You can uninstall the RPM packages only if they are not used by another software policy. When you uninstall an RPM package, SA also uninstalls any RPM packages which depend on the RPM packages being uninstalled.
SA also allows you to downgrade to a previous version of an RPM package using a software policy.
Uninstalling RPMs from a managed server
To uninstall RPMs from a managed server:
- Detach the policy containing the newer version of the RPM package from the server.
- Remediate the server to uninstall the RPM package.
- If the software policy with adopted packages is detached and remediated then these adopted packages will be uninstalled exactly like the packages that were actually deployed by SA.
- If an RPM resides in more than one attached software policy on a server, SA will only try to uninstall the RPM after all the software policies containing the RPM are detached from the server and the server is remediated.
Downgrading to a previous version of an RPM package
To downgrade to a previous version of an RPM package:
- Uninstall the RPM from the server.
See Uninstalling RPMs from a managed server for details. - Create a new software policy.
- Add the older version of the RPM package to the software policy.
- Attach the new policy to the server.
- Remediate the server to install the older RPM package.
