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 |

JavaScript global method: makeSCWebURL
Creates a URL query to the Service Manager Web tier.
Syntax
makeSCWebURL( Web tier URL, docEngine, table name, query, hash key seed, action);
Arguments
The following arguments are valid for this function:
Argument | Data type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Web tier URL
|
String | Yes | This argument specifies the fully qualified URL to the Service Manager Web tier. This URL must include the http:// protocol syntax as well as the server name or IP address and communications port number. |
docEngine | String | Yes | This argument specifies that the query should be handled by the Service Manager Document Engine. This argument does not accept any other string value. |
table name
|
String | Yes | This argument specifies the table where the Document Engine should query for records. |
query
|
String | Yes | This argument specifies the Service Manager query you want to use to search for records. You must URI encode the query string to prevent special characters from invalidating the URL. |
hash key seed
|
String | No | This argument specifies an optional string you want to use to create a unique hash key. The hash key seed does not appear in the final URL produced. |
action
|
String | Not applicable | This argument cannot be used. By default, the URL query always performs a search operation. |
Return values
A string containing a URL query to the Service Manager web tier.
Description
This method creates a URL query to the Service Manager web tier. It does not convert any special characters in the URL (such as spaces or quotation marks) to the character code equivalent in URI format. You can use the encodeURIComponent method to convert any special characters in the URL.
Example
This example does the following:
- Creates a URL query to the Service Manager Web tier
- Converts any special characters in the URL to valid URI format
This example requires the following sample data:
- The URL to Service Manager Web tier
- A valid Service Manager table name (for example, incidents)
- A valid Service Manager query against the table (for example, incident.id="SD1001")
function createURLquery( table, query) { var url; var webtier; var webserver; var doceng; var hashkey; var action; print( "Parameters: table=" + table + "query='" + query + "'"); print( "Converting special characters in query to valid URI format..." ); queryURI = encodeURIComponent( query ); print( "Converted: old query='" + query + "' new query='" + queryURI + "'" ); webserver = "http://pdoref02/sc/index.do"; doceng = "docEngine"; hashkey = ""; action = ""; webtier = makeSCWebURL( webserver, doceng, table, queryURI, hashkey, action, "abc"); url=encodeURIComponent(webtier); print( "Creating URL from information provided..." ); print( "The value of webtier is:\n" + webtier ); print( "The value of url is:\n" + url ); return url; } var tablename = "incidents" var SCquery = "incident.id=\"SD1001\"" createURLquery( tablename, SCquery);
