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 |

Supported clients
The SA platform supports programmers with different skills, from system administrators who write shell scripts to .NET and Java programmers familiar with the latest tools and technologies. All supported clients call the same set of methods, which are organized into the services of the SA Platform. A developer can create the following types of clients that call methods in the SA Platform API:
- SA Command-Line Interface (CLI): Launched from Global Shell sessions, shell scripts can access the SA Platform API by invoking the CLI methods, which are executable programs in the OGFS. Each CLI method corresponds to a method in the API.
- Web Services: Using SOAP over HTTPS, these clients send requests to SA and get responses back. The Web Services operations (defined in WSDLs) correspond to the methods in the API. Developers can write Web Services clients in popular languages such as Perl and C#.
- Java RMI: These clients invoke remote Java objects from other Java virtual machines.
- Pytwist: These Python programs can run on an SA Core or managed servers.
The Web Services and Java RMI clients can run on servers different than the SA Core or managed servers. The CLI methods execute in a Global Shell session on the core server where the OGFS is installed.
