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 |

Configure an HWLB Health Monitor for the Service Manager server
The health monitor helps the HWLB to identify whether a Service Manager servlet can accept a new connection. This prevents the servlet returning errors if the HWLB directs a request to the servlet when the servlet is at full capacity or when Service Manager is running in Quiesce mode.
This section describes how to configure and use a health monitor with an F5 HWLB.
Prerequisites
Before you begin this process, verify that the HWLB is configured to accept client requests in HTTPS mode (if you use an SSL port) or in HTTP mode (if you use a non-SSL port). For more information about how to do this, see Configure an HWLB to accept client requests in HTTP mode.
Step 1: Create the health monitor on the F5 HWLB
To create the health monitor on the F5 HWLB, follow these steps:
- Click Local Traffic > Monitors > Create.
- Type a name for the health monitor, such as TEST_MONITOR.
- Select HTTP or HTTPS as the type, depending on the connection type between the F5 HWLB and the Service Manager server.
- In the Send String field, type GET /mbeanclient-X.XX/Action?getattribute= AcceptNewConnection \r\n.
- In the Receive String field, type true.
-
If you use an SSL connection between the F5 HWLB and the Service Manager server, select TEST_SSL_SERVER in the Client Certificate and Client Key fields.
- Click Finished.
Step 2: Update the pool list
- Click Pools > Pool List.
- Select the pool that your virtual server uses.
- In the Health Monitors section, move TEST_MONITOR from the Available side to the Active side.
- Click Update.
Step 3: Modify the sm.ini file and restart Service Manager
-
Add the following line to the
sm.inifile:JVMOption999:../../lib/mbeanclient- X.XX.war
- Restart the Service Manager servers.
