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 |

- Access the Microsoft patch database
Import Windows patch database from the MS offline catalog
SA can retrieve Windows updates from wsusscn2.cab, the offline version of the Windows patch database. This cabinet file is available on the Microsoft website and contains security-related patch metadata published by Microsoft.
Microsoft updates this file every second Tuesday of the month to include new or revised Windows security patches. To keep your managed servers up-to-date, make sure to reimport this file into SA monthly, and to connect to HPELN for downloading non-security Microsoft updates.
Alternatively, if you cannot connect to HPELN or to the Microsoft website, you can get all Windows updates from a WSUS server on your network. For more information, see Import the Windows patch database from WSUS
To import the offline catalog of Windows patches into SA:
- Go to the Administration > Patch Settings.
- In the Patch Downloads section, enable the Microsoft Offline Catalog patching mode.
- Select the Patch Products tab and click Edit to add the products for which you want SA to import patches and patch metadata.
- Select the Patch Locales tab and click Edit to add the languages for which you want SA to import patches and patch metadata. During patch installation, SA matches the locale of the patch with the locale of each managed server.
- Select the Patch Database tab to import patch metadata for your selected patch products and locales. You can choose to either:
- Import from File - to import the patch metadata from the wsusscn2.cab file available on your local machine. Before you can import the Microsoft patch database from a local file, you must configure your browser to not use the web proxy when communicating with your SA core. See Configure your browser for importing the MS offline catalog
- Import from Vendor - to import the patch metadata directly from the Microsoft website. By default, this points to the URL where the wsusscn2.cab is available on the Microsoft website.
- Import from File - to import the patch metadata from the wsusscn2.cab file available on your local machine.
- Click Import. SA displays the Importing Microsoft Patch Database showing the import progress and an option to run the import in the background.
- Click Close when the patch metadata import is complete.
