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.
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 |
|
|
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 |

How to Customize the Integration Data Model in UCMDB
Out-of-the-box CIs for SCCM/SMS integration can be extended in one of the following ways:
If the attribute you want to add does not already exist in the CMDB, you need to add it. For details, see "Add/Edit Attribute Dialog Box" in the Universal CMDB Modeling section of the UCMDB Online Help.
-
Go to the orm.xml file as follows: Data Flow Management > Adapter Management > SMS Adapter > Configuration Files > orm.xml.
-
Locate the generic_db_adapter.[CI type] to be changed, and add the new attribute.
-
Ensure that the TQL queries that include this CI type have the new attribute in their layouts as follows:
-
In the Modeling Studio, right-click the node where you want to include the attribute.
-
Select Query Node Properties.
-
Click Advanced Layout Settings and select the new attribute.
For details about selecting attributes, see "Layout Settings Dialog Box" in the Universal CMDB Modeling section of the UCMDB Online Help. For limitations on creating this TQL query, see Troubleshooting and Limitations – Microsoft SCCM/SMS Integration.
-
-
In UCMDB, create the CI Type that you want to add to the adapter, if it does not already exist. For details, see "Create a CI Type" in the Universal CMDB Modeling section of the UCMDB Online Help.
-
Go to the orm.xml file as follows: Data Flow Management > Adapter Management > SMS Adapter > Configuration Files > orm.xml.
-
Map the new CI type by adding a new entity called generic_db_adapter.[CI type].
-
Create queries to support the new CI types that you have added. Make sure that all mapped attributes are selected in the Advanced Layout settings:
-
In the Modeling Studio, right-click the node where you want to include the attribute.
-
Select Query Node Properties.
-
Click Advanced layout settings and select the new attribute.
For details about selecting attributes, see "Layout Settings Dialog Box" in Universal CMDB Modeling section of the UCMDB Online Help. For limitations on creating this TQL query, see Troubleshooting and Limitations – Microsoft SCCM/SMS Integration.
-
-
In UCMDB, navigate to Data Flow Management > Integration Studio.
-
Edit the SMS integration point to support the new CI type by selecting it either for population or for federation.
-
If the new CI type is for population, edit the population job that you created above.
For more details, see "The orm.xml File" in the Universal CMDB Developer Reference section of the UCMDB Online Help.
