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 |

Queries for Federation
Each generic adapter stores the out-of-box federation queries in the Integration > Service Manager > Federation folder in the Modeling Studio.
For UCMDB 10.20, the generic adapter has defined a large number of out-of-box federation queries. These queries are for the out-of-the-box CI Types in UCMDB. Due to a technical limitation in UCMDB 10.20, you still need to define static federation queries for each of your custom CI types. For information on how to define static federation queries, see the Achieving Data Federation Using the Generic Adapter section in the Micro Focus Universal CMDB Developer Reference Guide.
Starting with UCMDB 10.21, you do not need to create additional static queries. The following out-of-box static federation queries are used for all CI types:
- SM Incident 2.0
- SM Incident To CI 2.0
- SM Problem 2.0
- SM Problem To CI 2.0
- SM RFC 2.0
- SM RFC To CI 2.0
