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 |

SQL parameters: sqldirect
Startup parameters change the behavior of the Service Manager server. You can always set a startup parameter from the server's operating system command prompt.
Parameter
sqldirect
Description
This parameter determines where the Service Manager server sends a direct SQL command to an RDBMS by using the SQLexecute RAD command panel. The database type you specify here must match the RDBMS database type that is set up as a section in your sm.ini file.
The Service Manager server uses shared libraries to interface with any supported RDBMS client. For example, the SQORACLE.OCI.10.dll shared library on Windows enables communication with Oracle 11 and 12 clients. When Service Manager opens a file that is mapped to an RDBMS, the Service Manager SQL layer automatically loads the appropriate shared library into memory.
The SQL Query tool also allows you to query tables that are not Service Manager files.
To do this, add the sqldirect:<dbtype> parameter to the sm.ini file.
Set the dbtype to the name of an existing SQL section in your sm.ini file.
For example for an Oracle system, add the line sqldirect:oracle to the sm.ini file.
This loads the appropriate .DLL file for the backend RDBMS and enables direct SQL queries at any time.
Valid if set from
Server's operating system command prompt
Initialization file (sm.ini)
Requires restart of the Service Manager server?
No
Default value
If this parameter is not set, but a RAD panel tries to execute a SQL Statement through SQLexecute, the statement will be sent to the RDBMS that was used last by the RAD (for a query, or an update, and so on.) Therefore if the whole file system is mapped to one and only one RDBMS, that is the RDBMS sqldirect will use.
Possible values
sqldirect:oracle11 [oracle] sqldb:SomeOraDB sqllogin:sm/sm
Example usage
Command line: sm -httpPort:13080 -sqldb:<dbserver> -sqldirect:<oracle>
Initialization file:
sqldirect:oracle11 [oracle] sqldb:SomeOraDB sqllogin:sm/sm [oracle11] sqldb:SomeOtherOracleDB sqllogin:sm/sm
