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.

You can enter client and server parameters in the server's sm.cfg file or operating system command line. When you do this, prefix each parameter with a space and a dash (-).

To enter a parameter in sm.cfg or the server’s operating system command prompt, follow these steps:

Open the operating system command prompt, and then navigate to the directory in which the Service Manager executable file is located. By default, the file is located in the C:\Program Files\Micro Focus\Service Manager <x.xx>\Server\RUN folder.

Alternatively, open the <SM installation path>\Server\RUN\sm.cfg file in a text editor.

Type the command and the parameters, as demonstrated in the following examples:

One parameter
sm -<parameter_name>:<parameter_value>
Multiple parameters
sm -<parameter_name>:<parameter_value> -<parameter_name>:<parameter_value>

Setting startup parameters from the server's operating system command prompt

Startup parameters that you set by using the server's operating system command prompt must always follow the sm command. Precede startup parameters with a dash (-) when you call them from the command line.

When you call a startup parameter from the server's operating system command prompt, use the following syntax:

C:\<installation directory>\RUN>sm -<start up parameter>:<setting>

For example, you type the following command:

C:\Program Files\Micro Focus\ Service Manager\Server\RUN>sm -httpPort:12345
