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 |

Wrong Service Manager Field Name in XSLT File
Sample configuration
The Service Manager field name is ServiceProvider
, however you have configured a wrong attribute named ServiceProvider_wrong
in the XSLT file. This error also commonly occurs since the attribute is case-sensitive.
Error message
You will NOT get any error messages either in the log file or in the Universal CMDB studio, however, the Universal CMDB attribute value will not be pushed to Service Manager.
Solution
If you find a Universal CMDB attribute value that cannot be pushed to Service Manager, check both the Universal CDMB attribute name and Service Manager field name of the mapping in the XSLT file.
