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 |

Standalone Deployment
The standalone deployment of the REST API can work with UCMDB Server 10.10 and later versions.
You can obtain the WAR file for the REST API from the following locations:
- UCMDB installation folder: <UCMDB_Server_Home>/tools/rest-api-standalone.war
Follow these steps to deploy the REST API on a separate Tomcat server:
Note Tomcat is the only supported servlet container.
-
Copy the WAR file to the webapps directory of your Tomcat installation.
Note It is recommended that you rename the WAR file to rest-api.war if you use the WAR file from the UCMDB installation folder.
-
Create a rest_credentials.txt file under $CATALINA_HOME/conf/, and then specify the system administrator credentials of the UCMDB Server. For example:
username=sysadmin password=Sysadmin_123 - Restart the Tomcat server.
Note In the standalone deployment:
-
The $CATALINA_HOME/conf/rest_jwt.bin file contains REST authorization information. If you remove this file, all authorization tokens created from server startup will be invalidated.
- If you want to change the credentials that you specified during the deployment, delete the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/rest_credentials.bin file, and then redo Step 2 and Step 3.
