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.

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)`

Use standard SOAP programming techniques in the Universal CMDB Web Service API to enable calling server-side methods. If the statement cannot be parsed or if there is a problem invoking the method, the API methods throw a SoapFault exception. When a SoapFault exception is thrown, the UCMDB populates one or more of the error message, error code, and exception message fields. If there is no error, the results of the invocation are returned.

SOAP programmers can access the WSDL at:

http://<server>[:port]/axis2/services/UcmdbService?wsdl

The port specification is only necessary for non-standard installations. Consult your system administrator for the correct port number.

The URL for calling the service is:
