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 |

Managing Planned Changes
The purpose of the “Planned Change” use case is to provide IT organizations a formal process by which changes to the IT infrastructure are introduced after thorough review and analysis. This is performed according to the “Change Management” process defined in ITIL v3.
A “Planned Change” is initiated by the SM user through the formal “Change Management” process module in SM. This is followed by the actual change implementation.
The actual changes are discovered by a discovery tool such as HPE DDMA, and then updated in UCMDB and the relevant modifications are pushed to SM. Once the user has validated the change, the user closes the relevant planned change in SM.
