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 |

Release Management: Build and test phase
After the release team agrees on a release plan, members of the release team identify and develop the processes, tools, and technologies required to deploy the release into production. The following is a summary of the release building activities.
- Selects a suitable release mechanism for the change that is a strategic fit, is repeatable, and is consistent
- Designs and builds a release package for the change that allows it to be successfully deployed
- Tests the release package to ensure that it delivers the change effectively in line with requirements
- Ensures the release package is updated to the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) as a pending release package and that any new script is added to the Definitive Software Library (DSL)
Release Management has two out-of-box tasks created for the Build and Test phase:
- Identify the affected systems (setting up the affected Configuration Items (CIs) – hardware and software
- Create release (software development, software push, hardware install, or other similar tasks) – software only
This phase of Release Management contains the build and test approval type. This approval must be met in order to advance to the next phase (Training or Distribution and Rollout).
Note If the test fails, you return to the plan and design phase to reevaluate the scope and content of the change.
