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 |

Apply Service Manager Server patches
Updating the Service Manager server by a patch or hotfix is the replacement of executable files in the Service Manager Server's RUN directory on each host. The files replaced include among others the sm executable, and the contents of the RUN/lib directory.
The java archive files (*.jar) contained in the RUN/lib directory are Micro Focus or third party files with a version number in the file name. For this reason, only copying the patch into an existing RUN/lib directory is not replacing all existing files when the version has been updated, and the file with the older number has to be removed manually. A good practice therefore is to rename the RUN/lib directory before patch application.
When a parameter in sm.ini refers to a java archive file in the RUN/lib directory, the parameter needs to be updated when the version of this file changes. An example is the Service Manager mbeanclient JAR file, which is required when Service Manager is running with a hardware load balancer:
JVMOption999:./lib/mbeanclient-9.50.war
Note Always follow the installation advice provided with the patch.
