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 a Query to Populate the CI Type
Unlike for push, for population the integration does not require you to create custom queries in Universal CMDB to save CI attribute values.
The population feature only needs the smPopConfFile.xml file and population XSL transformation files to synchronize CI/CI Relationship types and attributes; however for each CI/CI Relationship type you still need to define a query mapping in the smPopConfFile.xml file, and the query does not necessarily have to exist in UCMDB. It is simply a query name, which will appear in the query list when you add queries to a population job.
Micro Focus still recommends you to create queries to help you better understand what CI types or attributes are part of population. For information on how to create a query in UCMDB, see How to Create a Query to Synchronize the CI Type.
