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.
Words and Phrases
| 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. |
Using Boolean Operators
| 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 |
|
Enhancements
Service Manager 9.60 includes the following enhancement requests.
| CR | Component | Problem | Solution |
|---|---|---|---|
| QCCR1E136537 | Application | Smart Analytics does not support indexing knowledge records from the Oracle KM repository. | One new IDOL connector is added to the Smart Analytics solution, which can index data from external Oracle KM. This enables users in SM to search against KM documents from the Oracle KM application. |
| QCCR1E136976 | Application | No refresh button is available in Problem Management to refresh the record and its workflow information. | A "Refresh" button is now added for Problem to refresh the record and its workflow information. |
| QCCR1E138633 | Application | Need an approach to synchronize "number" and "counters" records between develop and production environment when integrating with 3rd party source control. | The new "BaseUtil.synchronizeCountersAndNumbers()" JavaScript function is now provided to synchronize "number" and "counters" records between develop and production environments. |
| QCCR1E138781 | Application | The action field in workflow back-end transitions is empty out-of-the-box. | Added ActionName=$L.wfEvent to the ServiceDesk workflow. |
| QCCR1E140639 | Application | Service Manager Smart Email does not support SharedInboxes via IMAP-S. | Service Manager Smart Email now supports SharedInboxes via IMAP-S and EWS. |
| QCCR1E137664 | Server |
When you try to load a modified dbdict file into a system in which the target dbdict file already exists, you receive the following error message:
|
Run the sm -svc_import -svc_updatedbdict command to update the dbdict file. |
| QCCR1E139513 | Server | Service Manager does not support samAccountName mapping with UPN in a SAML environment. | Single-Sign-On with SAML works as expected with LDAP query mapping. |
| QCCR1E139756 | Server | Service Manager does not support the virtualization platform vSphere 6.5. | Service Manager now supports Vsphere 6.5. |
| QCCR1E139769 | Server | There is a standard integration with SAP: SMSSMEX. There is an initiative to have this integration using SMIS and CaseExchange. An SM RTE enhancement is needed to provide an SAP Web Service Interface Adapter. |
A new WS namespace "http://schemas.hp.com/SM/External" has been added. All incoming WS requests of the "external" namespace will be forwarded to the JS entry function "ExternalWS.handleRequest(szRequestXML, szExternalURL,arrayOfAttachments)" or "ExternalWS.handleRequest(szRequestXML,szExternalURL)" when there is no attachment in the request. Note: If the URL is "http://schemas.hp.com/SM/External/SAP/test", then theparameter "szExternalURL" is "SAP/test". Customers should parse and process the request XMLs and compose the response XMLs, all with APPs and JS code. If the returned value of the JS entry function, which should be a character string, begins with "xml://", then the SM RTE will take the rest of the string as the response XML and send it back to the client without any change; otherwise, the whole returned string will be added to XML attribute "message"and sent back to the client in the old "SM/7" WS response format. |
| QCCR1E142225 | Server | Request to support Oracle12c R2 for Service Manager. | Oracle 12c R2 is now supported for Service Manager. |

For example, svc_postimport: BaseUtil.synchronizeCountersAndNumbers();BaseUtil.print_2(msg,msg1) |
| QCCR1E145292 | Server | There is a hardcoded limitation for IR keys. It cannot be greater than 254. This limit needs to be increased so that the field that are part of the key can have more than 254 characters. | The IR key maximum length has been changed from 254 bytes to 342 bytes. |
| QCCR1E138624 | Web Client | The web client does not support the "tel" and "sip" protocols for telephony. | The web client now supports the "tel" and "sip" protocols for telephony. |
| QCCR1E139390 | Web Client | When you import or export table data, a message is displayed to indicate that the import or export process is complete. No progress information is displayed during the process. |
