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 Policies Management 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.
Automation policies are business rules that determine when there is a high risk in running an automation. The automation policy assessment provides you with an awareness of those risks.
All automation policies are managed from the Automation Policy Management module. They enable you to define restrictions based on the automation execution information and assessment.
Configuration Manager pre-evaluates the organization's policies and determines whether the automation complies with the business rules.
A condition can be based on CI analysis information, such as severity and importance impact, or flow statistics, such as success ratio or collision conditions. It states what the acceptable threshold is for that condition. Each policy evaluation can result in being breached or satisfied.
For example, you can define a rule which states that a policy is breached when the My_CI application has an impact severity level of Critical or High. If the automation fulfills all the conditions, the policy is considered to be in breach.
For information on how to run an automation, see Automation Execution Dialog Box.
For details on defining automation policies, see Automation Policies Page.
Note Users with Automation Policies permission are able to see and modify all policies.
