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 |

SMS Adapter
Integration with SCCM/SMS is performed using an SMS adapter, which is based on the Generic DB Adapter. This adapter supports full and differential population for defined CI types as well as federation for other CI types or attributes.
The SMS Adapter supports the following features:
-
Full replicating of all instances of the selected CI types.
-
Identifying changes that have occurred in SCCM/SMS, to update them in the UCMDB.
-
Simulating the touch mechanism capabilities:
When a CI is removed from SCCM/SMS, it is physically deleted from the database and there is no way to report about it. The SMS Adapter supports a full synchronization interval. This means that the adapter transfers data for which the aging mechanism has been enabled, and provides the time interval to run a full synchronization that simulates the touch mechanism.
-
Federation of selected CI types and attributes.
Out-of-the-box integration with SCCM/SMS includes population of the following classes:
-
Node (some of the attributes are populated and some are federated)
-
Layer2 connection
-
Location that is connected to the node
-
IP address
-
Interface
In addition, the following classes can be defined as federated from SCCM/SMS:
-
CPU
-
File system
-
Installed software
-
Windows service
The following classes and attributes should be marked as federated by the SCCM/SMS adapter for the proper functionality of the Actual State feature of Service Manager:
-
Classes
-
CPU
-
Installed software
-
Windows service
-
-
Node attributes
-
DiscoveredOsVendor
-
DiscoveredModel
-
Description
-
DomainName
-
NetBiosName
Note Avoid marking the LastModifiedTime attribute as federated, as it may lead to unexpected results.
