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 |

Troubleshooting and Limitations – IBM DB2 Database Discovery
Troubleshooting
Problem: If the target DB2 instance port was not added to the portNumberToPortName.xml file (which means that it is not recognized as db2), the "Multiple Match" warning may appear in UCMDB UI (which means that the target CI is not reported) after running of ‘Host Applications by Shell’ job.
Solution: Add the target port to portNumbertToPortName.xml file as a db2 port entry.
Limitations
Limitation when performing DB2 Discovery without Shell Access
The DB2 platform allows specifying a network service name as a listening port for the instance. This network service name is an alias that should be resolved with an appropriate mapping file (/etc/services on Unix and %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\services on Windows) and needs shell access to get the content of this file. In the case when there is no shell access and only SQL-based access, it is not possible to expand the service name string to a port number. This causes IpServiceEndpoint to not be reported for the connected database. The only workaround for this is to use a real port number when configuring the DB2 instance instead of the service name.
