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 |

The Database Manager utility
The HPE Service Manager Database Manager utility runs in two modes, standard and administrative.
- In standard mode, behavior is determined by whatever security you have in place. Request Management, for example, uses Request security while the standard database uses Format Control. In standard mode, an administrator does not necessarily see all options. Options that are potentially troublesome for Service Manager, mass-updates, regenerating keys, and so on, are kept out of sight to prevent accidental use.
- Administration Mode is similar to root privileges on Unix systems.
Administration Mode is powerful, in that you can make changes that affect Service Manager as a whole. In Administration Mode, (with the Administration Mode check box selected), a System Administrator will have rights to ALL options unless a different displayscreen is used based on the value of the Administration Mode check box.
The value of the Administration Mode check box affects which displayscreen is used for certain files. The link file will use the link.view displayscreen when Admin Mode is disabled and db.view when Admin Mode is enabled. The globallists file will use the global.view displayscreen when Admin Mode is disabled and db.view when Admin Mode is enabled. When Admin Mode is enabled for the link and globallists files, the SysAdmin no longer has access to the Select Line and Rebuild Global List options respectively.
Note: Do day-to-day administration in standard mode.
Two capability words control whether a user administrator can use standard or administrative mode.
- Users with the SysAdmin capability word defined in their operator file will see the Administration Mode checkbox.
- Users with the AlwaysAdmin capability word defined in their operator file will be in Administration Mode by default.
