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 |

Create or update a Patch record
Applies to User Roles:
System Administrator
To create or update a Patch record:
- Click Tailoring > Differential Upgrade > Patch Records.
- Type the name of the Patch record in the Patch Name text box.
- Type a query (or false) in the Application Clusters text box. For example:
application ="app_name" - Type a query (or false) in the Format Records text box. For example:
name ="format_name" - Type the names of files to be included in the Patch record in the Dbdict fields.
- Click the Add check box if you want to Add new records only. Otherwise, the Differential Upgrade utility processes both updated and new records.
- Type true, false, or an advanced query in the Query field for each file. True includes all records from the file; false does not return any records. An advanced query enables you to customize the results.
- For a new Patch record, click Add.
- To update a Patch record, click Save.
- Click OK.
There must be a Patch record for each system in the comparison. Each patch record must point to the same files and records. You can create it once on each system, or create it on one system, unload it, and load it into the other system.
