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 |

Example: Retreiving data from Service Manager via a Web service
The simplest way to perform retrieval operations is via Query-by-example (QBE). This is done by creating an instance of a particular kind of object (such as an Incident) and populating one or more fields with values to determine the result set. You have to only supply values for the fields on which you wish to select.
The instance is then passed into a RetrieveXXXKeysList request. In a program, such as the sample programs provided with Service Manager, you would be assigning values to properties or calling setter methods on various Java or C# or other objects. In the following example, we submit a RetrieveIncidentKeysList object, supplying a value for OpenedBy and UpdatedBy. In this example, we will use Service Manager query syntax to find all incidents where the OpenedBy element starts with “fal” as well as pass a literal value for the UpdatedBy field.
We get back a RetrieveIncidentKeysListResponse object listing the primary keys of the matching Incident objects.
Combining multiple values in this QBE style selection connects the query terms with AND. To create a query using OR, supply an expert query as a string in the <pws:instance query="xxx" …> area.
