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 |

Software policies for patch installation
With SA you can install patches on servers in the following ways:
- Using Windows patch policies to install Windows patches. See "Patch Management for Windows" in the SA 10.50 User Guide for more information.
- Using Solaris patch policies to install Solaris patches. See "Patch Management for Solaris" in the SA 10.50 User Guide for more information.
- Using patch policies to install HP-UX, AIX and Linux patches. See "Patch Management for Unix" in the SA 10.50 User Guide for more information.
A policy can contain both Unix patches and Windows patches. It is recommended that you use Windows patch policies to install Windows patches, Solaris patch policies to install Solaris patches and policies to install other Unix patches on servers.
Patch policies provide you with an option of setting a policy exception. If you need to include or exclude a Windows patch in a patch policy from being installed, you can deviate from a patch policy by specifying that Windows patch in a policy exception. You can also set precedence rules for applying patch policies and policy exceptions. The precedence rules determine the Windows patches that are actually installed on a server. See the "Server Patching" section in the SA 10.50 User Guide for more information about precedence rules for applying patch policies and patch policy exceptions.
After you attach a patch policy to a managed server, the remediation process installs the patches in a patch policy on the managed server. If you remove any patches from the patch policy and remediate the server again, the remediation process does not remove the patches from the server.
However, with a software policy, the remediation process removes the patches from the server. There are some patches like Service Packs that cannot be uninstalled. For example, if you remove a Service Pack from a policy and remediate the server again, the Service Pack is not uninstalled from the server.
