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 |

SA parameter password security
During the SA installation or upgrade process, some cleartext passwords specified for core parameters are automatically obfuscated and some are not. Some passwords are obfuscated when SA Core Components start up, such as the SA Provisioning Build Manager password when the Web Services Data Access Engine server starts up. Passwords in some files must be manually obfuscated, such as passwords in the installation logs and Installer response files.
There are several ways to manually secure cleartext passwords. Which you choose will depend on your security requirements:
- Encrypt the response files and installation logs.
- Purge sensitive information from the Installer response files.
- Store the Installer response files and logs on a secure server.
Cleartext passwords The following table lists cleartext passwords that are automatically obfuscated and passwords that must be manually secured:

Securing Installer log and CDFs
Depending on the level of your security requirements, it is recommended that the installation or upgrade team should encrypt or move installation log files to a secure server. Remember that certain CDFs are needed for SA Core upgrades and Secondary Core installations and the log files are useful for troubleshooting so completely removing them is not recommended.
