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 |

Software policies
SA software policies enable automation of software installation and application configuration. If a policy is changed after it has been deployed, the managed servers can be scanned and remediated to ensure that they maintain compliance with the policy.
- SA software policies allow you to define the ideal deployment of an application.In a software policy, you specify the software packages and patches to be installed, the server scripts to run, and the application configurations to be applied to the managed servers.
- Software policies can be attached to multiple managed servers or device groups.
- Managed servers are brought into compliance with the software policy through a configurable remediation process. When you remediate a server or group of servers, the software resources and application configurations specified in the attached policy are automatically installed and applied respectively.
- If modifications are made to software policies, installed software, or application configurations, the compliance scan identifies non-compliant managed servers, so you can remediate them back into compliance with the policy.
Software policies can specify:
- Software resources (such as packages, patches, application configurations, scripts, and server objects) to install
- Software installation order
- Custom Attributes
- Sub-policies (as long as they belong to the same operating system family)
- OS sequences
- Application configurations to apply
Software policy attributes and features include:
