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 |

- Server performance tuning
Shared memory
Service Manager shared memory is a pool of memory available to all processes on the server. You can control how the server allocates and manages shared memory using system parameters in the Service Manager initialization file. Allocating too little shared memory can degrade system performance, and allocating too much wastes system resources.
The shared memory storage report generates a snapshot of shared memory that enables you to monitor usage. If you are trying to isolate a performance bottleneck, run a report at start-up and periodically throughout the monitoring period. As a general rule, if Unused falls below 25%, consider increasing the amount of shared memory (see Startup parameters: shared_memory). If you are not sure how to interpret the shared memory report, contact Micro Focus customer support.
To run the shared memory report for a Unix or Windows system, do the following.
- Issue the following command from the shell prompt:
sm -reportshm
