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.
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 |
|
|
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 |

Create a patch policy
A patch policy is a set of patches that should be installed on a managed server. When it is first created, a patch policy contains no patches and is not attached to servers.
As mentioned before the Ubuntu patches are just software/packages under the hood, and that is why, when imported from the “Patch Settings” they get populated in the Library/Packages/Ubuntu. However the icon in the tab distinguishes a patch from a package. Once a patch metadata is imported, it shows up qualified by a greyed out patch icon, if its binary has not been imported. User can right click on the greyed out patches in the Library/Packages/Ubuntu view and select “import from vendor” or “import from file” (just like Windows patches) and import the binaries to turn the icon green.
User can create a Generic Patch Policy by right clicking on the Library/Patch Policy/Ubuntu tab and select “Static Patch Policy” or “Dynamic Patch Policy” to create either a static or dynamic policy. Once the new policy creation screen opens up, user can select the Policy Options there in. Though note that the “Policy Items” is enabled only for the Static Policies and not for Dynamic Policies as Dynamic policies cannot hold any item.
To create a patch policy:
- In the navigation pane, select Library > By Type > Patch Policies.
- Select a specific Ubuntu operating system.
- From the Actions menu, select New Dynamic Policy or New Static Policy.
- In the Properties window, give the policy a unique name. Save and Close.
- In the content pane, open the New Patch Policy.
- (Optional) In the Name field of the Properties, enter a name that describes the purpose or contents of the policy.
