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 |

RAD function: perf
A RAD function that evaluates system performance and then logs this information in Service Manager's systemperform and systemtotals tables. A value of zero (0) indicates success,
and a value of negative one (-1) indicates failure.
Function
perf
Format
perf(n)
Where the value of n is the number that corresponds to the option you select.
Parameters
The following table shows the parameters used with the perf function:
| Option | Result |
|---|---|
| 1 | Delete records in the systemtotals and systemperform files where capture=false before writing new information to disk. |
| 2 | Add records and do not delete. Nothing is removed before new records are written to the systemtotals and systemperform files. Maintenance of these files is typically the responsibility of the RAD programmer. |
| 3 | Delete records in the systemtotals and systemperform files where capture=false and do not write information to disk. |
| 4 | Delete all records in the systemtotals and systemperform files, regardless of capture status. |
Example
perf(1) Returns zero (0).
