Teaching Applications to the User SAI

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	`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`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

A User.zsai file is an editable Software Application Index (SAI) that can be updated using Analysis Workbench. You can use the Analysis Workbench to ‘teach’ the library how to recognize files which it previously did not recognize.

The teaching of applications to your User.zsai file is usually done with scan files that have many installed applications included in them.

Note If the information from many machines has been loaded, it can take a significant time to re-recognize all of the affected files after new entries have been taught to the SAI. It is therefore recommended that no more than 50 scans be loaded when teaching the SAI.

Creating a New User SAI

Start Analysis Workbench. Do not load any data.
Select Load Options from the File menu. The Analysis Workbench Load Configuration dialog box is displayed.
Click on the Recognition tab.
Select the Software Application Index (SAI) option and click the Advanced button. The Advanced configuration - Software Application Index dialog box is displayed.
Select the SAIs tab.
Click the Create button. The Create a User SAI dialog box is displayed.
Enter or navigate to the directory where the SAI file is to be created.
Enter a description for the file.
Click the OK button.

The file is automatically assigned a unique ID. However, you may already have an SAI with the same filename. If so, a confirmation message is displayed.

Click Yes if you want to overwrite the existing SAI file or click No to return to the dialog box and assign a new ID to the SAI file.

If you have made modifications to the cfgNextSAIID setting in the Analysis Workbench ini file, you may see the following message.

The next User SAI ID cannot be found in the settings file.

This happens when the value for the ID in the ini file is missing or lower than the highest ID in the user SAIs currently loaded. This message is for information only - the Universal Discovery components will correct this situation automatically by inserting the correct ID value into the ini file.

This probably means that you are using User SAIs created with a different version of the software, or created on a different machine.

Tip Please take care to set the new ID to a value that is unique across your organization.
