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 |

Step 1: Duplicate the production environment
To achieve the best results, develop and test the custom upgrade on a system that resembles your production environment as closely as possible.
To duplicate the production environment, follow these steps:
-
Identify a server to use for the development and test environments.
- Linux: You can copy the files to a new location on your production machine.
- Windows: You must create the development system on a different machine from your production system.
- Ensure that adequate memory and disk space is available and accessible. Frequent backups are necessary.
-
Ensure that your development and test systems meet all upgrade requirements. For more information, see Step 2: Meet the software requirements.
- Upgrade your RDBMS to a version compatible with Service Manager 9.60. See the Service Manager 9.60 Support Matrix.
- Convert your RDBMS code page to Unicode. See your RDBMS vendor documentation.
- Set up the environment of your development and test machines to resemble your production server as closely as possible. The operating system version and service pack level should match.
-
Copy your existing production system data onto your development system.
We recommend you use the native RDBMS backup utilities to back up your data. Refer to your RDBMS documentation for backup instructions.
- Install a Service Manager 9.60 run time environment on the duplicated system. Do not load the Service Manager 9.60 demonstration data files.
- Install a Service Manager 9.60 client on the duplicated system.
