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 |

Preview a patch installation
The installation preview process provides an up-to-date report about the patch state of servers. The installation preview is an optional step that lets you see what patches will be installed on managed servers and what type of server reboots are required. This preview process verifies whether the servers you selected for the patch installation already have that patch installed. In some cases, a server could already have the patch installed if a system administrator had manually installed it, which means that SA does not know about it.
The preview process also reports on dependency information, such as patches that require certain Unix products, and patches that obsolete other patches or are obsoleted by other patches. If a dependency is not met, SA will display an error message indicating this condition.
The installation preview does not report on the behavior of the server as though the patches have been applied.
To preview a patch installation:
- From the Install Patch window, click Next to advance to the Summary Review step.
- Verify the information displayed for the Servers, Server Groups, and Patches at the top of the window.
- (Optional) Click Preview to see the separate actions that will be performed when the patch is installed. To view the details of a previewed action, select a row in the table.
- Click Start Job to launch the installation job or click Cancel to close the Install Patch window without launching the installation.
If you selected Run Task Immediately in the Scheduling step, the job begins now. If you selected Run Task At, the job will be launched at the specified time and date.
