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 |
|
Components
Overview
You can create and modify components in applications that you have permissions to edit (see Set permissions).
To view an example of an application with simple components, see .
About components
Components represent the content of an application. The components implement the various functions of the application. A component is associated with a specific tier. There are eight types of components that you can use to populate the tiers of an application.
Component type |
Icon |
Purpose |
---|---|---|
Code |
|
Copies files to a target server. For example, this might be a set of HTML files that implement a web-based store. See Code components. |
Script |
|
Runs a script on a target server during the deployment of an application. For example, you might have two scripts: one that shuts down all applications before the deployment, and another that starts the applications up again after deployment. See Script components. |
Configuration File |
|
Creates a new configuration file on a target server. These files typically contain very specific information for a particular application. For example, you might need to create a configuration file that specifies information about a database. See Configuration File components. |
Application Configuration |
|
Deploys existing Application Configurations from the SA Library to a target server. See Application Configuration components. |
Software Policy |
|
Attaches a Software Policy from the SA Library to a target server. Alternatively, you can specify that the policy be installed instead of attached. See Software Policy components. |
Package |
|
Installs a Software Package from the SA Library on a target server. Alternatively, you can specify that the package be attached as a policy. See Package components. |
OO Flow |
|
Initiates an HPE Operations Orchestration (OO) workflow. For example, the workflow might be that whenever a specific application is deployed, an email is sent to the product owner. See OO flow components. |
DMA Flow |
|
Initiates an HPE Database and Middleware Automation (DMA) workflow on a target server, instance, or database. For example, you could use a DMA workflow to install critical database patches. |
Windows Registry |
|
Adds or deletes Windows registry keys or values. This type of component is only available for Windows tiers. See Windows Registry components. |
Components are executed against servers. By default, components are deployed in the order in which they were created. You can modify this order if you have permission to edit the application (see Changing the deployment order of components).
