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 |

Automation Setup Overview
Note This module is only valid for use by customers who purchased the relevant license for Universal CMDB Configuration Manager versions 9.2 or 9.3. New customers cannot purchase this license.
It is recommended using the UCMDB Browser Automation widget (also available in the embedded UCMDB Browser in Configuration Manager) to configure automated flows that are based on Configuration management conditions. For details, see the section about the Automation widget in the UCMDB Browser online help.
Configuration Manager provides the ability to use predefined flows from Operations Orchestration to automate standard system operations.
Automations contain the following information:
-
General details, such as the name and description.
-
The CI type on which the automation will run.
-
Whether the automation is controlled or not controlled.
-
Parameters that assist in calculating the automation's risk.
-
Parameter mappings that can be specified during automation setup:
-
a selection list populated from the OO flow
-
a default value populated from the OO flow
Note When you import flows from Operations Orchestration version 9.0, default values do not appear in Configuration Manager. You must enter these values manually, either during setup or during execution.
-

values from the CI that is selected during execution

-
Node: Domain name, Host name, IP address
