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	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`

Integration Mechanism

This section describes the UCMDB - CA CMDB integration mechanism:

UCMDB is queried for CIs and Relationships
1. When an ad-hoc job is run from the defined integration point, the integration receives the names of the integration queries that have been defined in the job definition for that integration point.
2. The integration process queries UCMDB for the results of these queries (new/updated/deleted CIs and Relationships), and applies the mapping transformation according to the pre-defined XML mapping files for every query.
3. It then pushes the data to the Data Flow Probes.
Queried data is converted into temporary XML files on the Data Flow Probe system

On the Data Flow Probe side, the integration process receives the CI and Relationship data sent from the UCMDB server, and converts it into a format which can be used as input XML for the GRLoader, a utility provided with CA CMDB used to transfer the CI and Relationship data into CA CMDB.
CA CMDB GRLoader utility is invoked on the Data Flow Probe system

The integration process programmatically invokes the CA CMDB GRLoader utility on the Data Flow Probe system with the necessary parameters (for example, CA CMDB server, port, username, and password), using the input XML file created in the previous step to transfers the CIs and Relationship data into CA CMDB.
