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 |

Mapping Files Overview
A mapping file is an XML file that defines which CIT or relationship in UCMDB is mapped to which CIT or relationship in the target data repository.
Mapping files:
-
Control which CITs and relationships are to be pushed.
-
Control the attributes for the CITs and relationships that are to be mapped.
-
Map attribute values from multiple CIs to one target CI.
-
Map attributes of children CIs (those having a containment or composition relationship) to the parent CI in the target data repository. For example:
- Set a Number of CPUs value for a target node CI.
- Set a Total Memory value for a target node CI.
-
Map attributes of parent CIs (those having a containment or composition relationship) in the target data repository CI. For example, in the Atrium target data repository, set the value of a Container Server attribute on the Installed Software CIT by retrieving the value of the UCMDB Installed Software CI container node.
