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 |

Review the migrated validity records
After you migrate to Service Manager Hybrid, validity records are validated against the Process Designer category tables instead of the Classic category tables. Therefore, a manual review of the validity records is required.
A Process Designer migration report that resembles the following is included in the pdmigration.log file:
The following validity records are updated to perform validation against Process Designer-based category tables (such as category, subcategory, and producttype) instead of legacy category tables. Backups of the original validity records (identified by the suffix "_disabled") have been created.
Unique ID:BP;Field Name:category;Sequence:1
Unique ID:BP;Field Name:category;Sequence:3
Unique ID:BP;Field Name:incident.category;Sequence:3
Unique ID:BP;Field Name:product.type;Sequence:1
Unique ID:BP;Field Name:product.type;Sequence:2
Unique ID:BP;Field Name:product.type;Sequence:3
Unique ID:BP;Field Name:product.type;Sequence:5
Unique ID:BP;Field Name:product.type;Sequence:7
Unique ID:BP;Field Name:product.type;Sequence:10
Unique ID:BP;Field Name:product.type;Sequence:13
Unique ID:BP;Field Name:subcategory;Sequence:1
Unique ID:BP;Field Name:subcategory;Sequence:2
Unique ID:BP;Field Name:subcategory;Sequence:3
Unique ID:BP;Field Name:subcategory;Sequence:5
Unique ID:BP;Field Name:subcategory;Sequence:11
Unique ID:BP;Field Name:subcategory;Sequence:12
The number of updated validity records depends on your system configuration. If you have not customized any validity records, you can ignore this step.
Note If you have added dbdict fields to the category tables and if you use the validity table to validate against these fields, you must manually change the validation logic for these fields.
