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 |

Import from Properties File Job
This job imports information from a properties file, maps the information to one CI, and imports that CI into UCMDB.
This section includes the following topics:
The job details are as follows:
-
Adapter: Import from properties file
-
Input CI Type: Shell
-
Discovered CIs: ConfigurationItem
-
Required Protocols: SSH, NTCMD, Telnet
This job has no Trigger queries associated with it.
The following parameters are included by default:
Parameter |
Description |
---|---|
bulkSize |
This parameter only works if the parameter flushObjects is true, in which case, when sending discovery results, it sets the size of chunks used to that number of CIs. The default is 2,000 CIs. |
ciType |
The name of the CIT to import. |
flushObjects |
This parameter allows customization of the reporting mechanism. If true, the probe divides the discovery result into chunks, and sends each chunk to the UCMDB Server. This helps prevent out-of-memory issues where a large amount of data is sent. The chunk size can be configured with the bulkSize parameter. If false (the default value), the probe sends the discovery result without dividing it into chunks. |
mappingFile |
For details of the mapping file, see External Source Mapping Files. |
mappingString |
The string containing mapping information used to map the column indexes and attributes to import. You define this mapping in the following format:
|
propertyFile | The full path to the properties file located on a remote machine. The Input CI runs the Shell discovery that is used to access this file on the remote machine |
For details on overriding an adapter parameter, see "Override Adapter Parameters" in the Universal CMDB Developer Reference section of the UCMDB Online Help.
Keys cannot contain the equals symbol (=).
Each value must be set out in a single line. Use backslash+n (\n) to specify a new line. Values can contain anything, including \n for a new line, quotes, tabs, and so on.
To create a commented line in a properties file, add the pound sign (#) as the first character in a line. The job ignores commented lines.
