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 |

Custom attributes
Custom attributes are named data values that you can create and set for patch policies. They provide a way for you can save additional information about patch policies. You can use custom attributes in a variety of ways including in scripts, network and server configuration, notifications, and CRON script configurations. When you set a custom attribute for a patch policy, it is available to all servers attached to the policy. For more information on custom attributes, see the SA 10.51
Adding a custom attribute to a patch policy
When you add a custom attribute to a Solaris patch policy, the attribute values affect the servers attached to the policy. After you add a custom attribute to a Solaris patch policy, you must attach the policy to a managed server and then remediate the server against the policy.

- Either select , or from the Actions menu, select Add.... A new custom attribute is added named “New Attribute”.
- Enter the name of the custom attribute and select Enter.

- Select Save from the File menu.
