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 |
|---|---|---|

Specify quiescent repetition
Applies to User roles: System Administrator
Choosing quiescent repetition creates a pause interval. For example, a maintenance task that runs whenever the available disk space on a file server drops below 10 GB can be set to pause for a week to enable IT to put a new drive on the server. Within this one week window, if the available space on the server continues to fall below the threshold value, the task does not run. At the end of the pause interval, if the available space is still beneath the threshold, the task runs again to create another change request.
Quiescent repetition creates a pause that enables you to resolve the issue that triggered the maintenance without creating multiple maintenance tasks on the issue.
To specify quiescent repetition:
- Click System Administration > Base System Configuration > Scheduled Maintenance > Scheduled Maintenance Tasks.
- Follow the procedure for setting the demand criteria for a task, as described in the related topics.
- From the Determine when to run next by: field, select Stop monitoring device for a specified time.
- Choose a beginning date and time in the Pause For: field.
- Choose an ending date and time in the Currently Paused Until: field.
