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.
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. |
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 |

OLA and UC Monitoring (process SO 2.8)
One measure of the successful resolution of incidents is the performance of the individual support groups and applicable vendors. The performance of support groups is measured by targets set up within Operation Level Agreements (OLAs). The performance of vendors is measured by targets set up in the Underpinning Contracts (UCs).
The Incident Coordinator monitors all incidents assigned to the support group and applicable vendors. Performance is tracked until incidents are resolved or escalated to meet targeted agreement dates and times. The target date of an OLA and UC usually depends on the priority and category of the incident. The Incident Coordinator can escalate an incident to the Incident Manager if the target time has been or is about to be exceeded.
You can see the details of this process in the following figure and table.
The OLA and UC Monitoring workflow is illustrated in the following figure:
