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 |

How to Resynchronize an Existing Company with UCMDB
Service Manager provides you a means to resynchronize company records with your UCMDB system in case you lose UCMDB data for some reason. For example, you might intentionally remove UCMDB data during integration testing, or you might need to recover data after a disaster. You can force Service Manager to synchronize companies with your UCMDB system with the Re-synch with UCMDB option.
To resynchronize an existing company with UCMDB:
- Log in to Service Manager as a system administrator.
- Navigate to System Administration > Base System Configuration > Companies.
- Type the search criteria you want to use to find company records. For example, leave the search form blank to search all company records.
- Click Search.
- Select a company record to synchronize.
- Click the Re-synch button next to the Synched with UCMDB check box.
Note
The Re-synch button is available only from company records that have already been synchronized with UCMDB and have the Synched with UCMDB check box checked. If your UCMDB system already has a company with this ID value, it will ignore the resynchronization request. Service Manager will also ignore a resynchronization request if there is an existing schedule record to resynchronize the company with UCMDB. In this case, it displays the message “A schedule record has already been added to re-synch this company with UCMDB.”
