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 |

Automatic selection of shared memory address
The Service Manager server can now automatically select a shared memory address based on your system's available memory. This change makes allocating shared memory easier on Windows systems because you no longer have to specify one particular address for your system's shared memory. The server automatically scans your system memory and selects an address range large enough to support your system's shared memory. If for some reason your system has insufficient free memory, the server will generate an error message telling you so.
The server will automatically select a shared memory address on Windows systems as long as you do not specify an address with the shared_memory_address parameter. On all Unix-based systems, the server uses the default values of the shared_memory_address parameter based on the operating system. If you previously specified a value for the shared_memory_address parameter, you can remove it from the sm.ini file to have your system automatically select a shared memory address.
Tip: We recommend you remove the shared_memory_address parameter on all Windows platforms so that the system automatically selects your shared memory address. This minimizes the chance that your system will fail to start due to a memory collision with a system resource assigned by Windows ASLR (Address space layout randomization).
