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

Create Signature records on the production system
Applies to User Roles:
System Administrator
To create Signature records on the production system:
- Click Tailoring > Differential Upgrade > Differential Upgrade Wizard.
- Click Build Signatures.
- Click Next.
- Type the name of the system in the System Name text box. Remember the name because Service Manager uses it in later steps.
- Click the drop-down list to choose an existing Patch record for the named system. Remember that there must be a Patch record for each system to be compared, and each Patch record must point to the same files and records.
- Browse to locate or define the Export Filename. This is an external file that will store the signature records.
- Optionally, click Signature RAD components for delete processing to delete all related RAD panel components.
- Click Run in background if you want background processing. If you run in background, Service Manager creates a schedule record and creates the unload when the schedule record runs. If you choose Run in background, do the following:
- Click Repeat Daily to create signature records daily. This step is optional.
- Click the drop-down list to choose the Date/Time to Run schedule for background processing.
- Click Next.
If the process runs in background, the unload file will reside on the server. If the process runs in foreground, the unload file location depends on whether you enable the Client Side Load/Unload option on the client. Processes running in foreground post progress messages in Active Notes, if that option is enabled.
