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 |

Add software resources to a software policy
After you create a software policy, you can add software resources such as patches, packages, application configurations, scripts, and server objects to it. When you add software resources to a software policy, the software resources must contain at least one operating system as that of the software policy. Adding software resources to a policy does not install them on a managed server. After you add software resources to a software policy, you can install the software directly on the managed server or attach it to a managed server and then remediate the software policy. See the Install software using a software policy for more information about installing software.
To add software resources to a software policy:
- From the navigation pane, select Library > By Type > Software Policies.
- From the content pane, select the policy and open it. The policy window appears.
- From the Views pane, select Policy Items.
- Perform one of the following actions:
- From the Actions menu, select Add..... The Select Library Item window appears as shown
- Select Browse Types to display a list of policy items that can be added to the software policy. Select the policy item and click Select. The selected policy item appear in the content pane.
- Select Browse Folders to display the folder hierarchy in the Library and the list of software resources contained in the folders. Select the policy item and click Select. The selected policy item appear in the content pane.
- To save the changes, select Save from the File menu.
