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 |

Upload Unix patches into the SA Library
Before a Unix patch can be installed on a managed server, the patch must be downloaded from the server vendor and uploaded into the SA Library. For more information, see the SA 10.51
To upload Unix patches to the SA Library:
- In the navigation pane, select Library > By Type > Patches. The patches are organized by operating system.
- Navigate to the desired operating system version.
- From the Actions menu, select Import Software to open the Import Software window.
-
In the Import Software window, click Browse to locate and select the patch to import.
Before clicking Open in the Open window, select the character encoding to be used by the patch from the Encoding drop-down list.
You need to specify the character encoding so that SA can extract the metadata contained in the patch and correctly display the information in non-ASCII characters in the SA Client (for example, in the Patch Properties pages). Patch metadata includes comments, READMEs, scripts, descriptions, and content lists.
-
Click Open.
The selected item should appear in the File(s) field in the Import Software window.
-
Select the appropriate type from the Type drop-down list.
The type is often populated based on the extension of the selected file. Review the listed types to make sure the best one is selected for your import.
-
In the Folder field, select the desired directory of the SA Library.
-
From the Platform drop-down list, select all the operating system versions that the patch applies to. You can only install the patch on servers that are running those versions of the operating system.
-
Click Import to import the patch into the SA Library.
When the import is complete, the Status column will indicate the results:
- A check mark in the Status column indicates success.
- An X in the Status column indicates an error. Click the X to view the error details.
-
To find the imported patch, use the Search tool from the By Type tab in the SA Library.
