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 |

Software policy templates
Software policy templates are a defined set of software polices that are handled as individual policies and can be installed, modified, or detached as discrete policies. The template itself is just the container and is not actually installed on the server.
The value of the software policy templates is that the software policies can be managed independently even after they are installed. For example, policies that were installed from a template can be detached, modified, and updated as individual policies, whereas policies that were installed as embedded sub-policies of another software policy cannot.
A software template can be associated with either a single operating system family or multiple operating system families. When you add software resources to a software template, the software resources must belong to the same operating system family as the software template. For example, if you define the operating system for a software template as HP-UX, you can only add software resources applicable to versions of HP-UX to the software policy.
About installing software using a software policy template
You can install software by using a software template.You use the same procedure to create a software template as you use to create a software policy, however, you specify that the policy is to be a software template. See Remediate and install software.
The difference is that when you attach, install, or remediate a server against a template, the template itself is not attached or installed, just the policies it contains. For example:
- When you attach a software policy template, the template itself is not attached, just the policies it contains.
- When you remediate a server against a software policy template, the software policies specified in the software template are installed individually; the template itself is not installed.
Note that software templates are different than software policies with embedded sub-policies which are handled as one flattened policy after installation and are not recognized as discrete policies. See Embedded software subpolicies.
