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 |

Key type attributes
The attributes of Unique keys differ by RDBMS type. For example, in a DB2 environment, the constraints for a Unique key are No Duplicates and No Null. In an Oracle environment, the constraints are No Duplicates and Null. Due to the variety of constraints for each RDBMS, Service Manager only creates Unique key constraints on the RDBMS that allows Nulls.
You can choose to modify the Unique constraints to primary keys in your RDBMS. If you choose to do so, this will allow No Nulls and No Duplicates if the key is to contain those values.
Key type attributes:
| Key Type | No Duplicates | Allows Duplicates |
|---|---|---|
| No Nulls |
Unique Primary (If primary key mode is enabled) |
No Nulls |
| Allows Nulls | No Duplicates | Nulls & Duplicates |
Note: IR keys are indexed separately and are not a part of the key types listed in this table.
