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 |

SQL parameters: sqlouterjoins
Startup parameters change the behavior of the Service Manager server. You can always set a startup parameter from the server's operating system command prompt.
Parameter
sqlouterjoins
Description
When querying two tables at the same time, Service Manager by default generates a SELECT statement with a JOIN clause to join the tables together. This parameter provides options on how two tables are joined together when being queried.
Caution: In some cases, generating a LEFT OUTER JOIN when querying two tables at the same time causes performance degradation.
Valid if set from
Server's operating system command prompt
Initialization file (sm.ini)
Requires restart of the Service Manager server?
No
Default value
2
Possible values
0 (Generates a LEFT OUTER JOIN clause only when querying a multi-row array table and one other table in the same query. Otherwise, generates just a JOIN clause.)
1 (Always generates a LEFT OUTER JOIN clause when querying two tables in the same query.)
2 (Never generates a LEFT OUTER JOIN clause; always generates just a JOIN clause.)
Example usage
Using option 2 (default) to generate a JOIN clause when querying tables M1 and A3 (SELECT * FROM M1 JOIN A3 ON...).
Command line: sm -httpPort:13080 -sqldb:dbserver -sqlouterjoins:2
Initialization file: sqlouterjoins:2
