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 |

- SAI Editor Overview
SAI Editor User Interface
Shows the SAIs loaded and details of the data items contained in them.
Note The Overview tab is only visible when you start the SAI Editor from within the Analysis Workbench application.
The following details are shown for each of the SAI files loaded:
- SAI File—Name of the SAI file.
- SAI ID—Unique ID for the SAI file. This is relevant to User SAI files only. Master SAIs do not have an ID.
- File Names—Number of file names contained in the SAI.
- Versions—Number of software versions in the SAI.

- Publishers—Number of publishers in the SAI.

Right-Click Menus
If you right-click an entry on the Overview tab, the Export summary to XML option is available.
The XML summary is saved to the following file:
<DataFlowProbeInstallation>\runtime\probeManager\discoverySaiResources\saiRuntime
where <dataflowprobeinstallation> is the location where the Data Flow Probe is installed.
Buttons on the Overview Tab
There are three buttons on this tab:
- Save—Saves any modifications made to the User SAIs.
- Reload—Discards any unsaved changes to the User SAIs, reloads the existing ones from disk, and re-organizes all affected file entries.
- Close—Closes the application and causes re-recognition to occur.
The Editor tab is where you can see the contents of the SAI files in detail. In addition, you can perform many tasks here.
Note The main menu bar is not available in the built-in SAI Editor of the Analysis Workbench. However, this bar is available in the standalone version.

Sub-Tabs on the Editor Tab
The Editor tab consists of the following eight sub-tabs:
- All Contents
- Files
- Application Types
- Operating Systems
- Languages
- License Relations
- Package Rules
- Version Data Rules
- All Contents
- Files
- Application Types

- Version Data Rules
The Application Types, Operating Systems and Languages sub-tabs are static pages and are pre-populated by Hewlett Packard Enterprise. You can, however, add new items to the Application Types and Operating Systems sub tabs for your User SAI.
Icons Used on the Editor Tab
The SAI Editor displays a hierarchical structure of software publishers, application names, releases, application versions, and files contained in the SAI files. The following icons are used to represent these items.
Icon | Description |
---|---|
All Contents Tab | |
Software Publisher This is the name of the company or corporation that released the software application. For example, Hewlett Packard Enterprise is a software publisher. |
|
Application Name This is the name of the software program. |
|
Release When a publisher releases updates for an existing version of one of their products, they typically don't change the name of that version. Any particular version of a product could have several updates to it. In this scenario, the SAI Editor refers to the umbrella version as the Release, and to each of the updates as an application Version. |
|
Application Version See description above |
|
File Each file is categorized as Main, Associated, or 3rd Party. |
|
Files Tab | |
File Each file is categorized as Main, Associated, or 3rd Party. |
|
Main File This is a key application file—that is, a file without which the application could not be running. It should always be present whenever the application is installed regardless of whether it is a minimum or complete installation. |
|
Associated File This is a non-key file that is part of the application and is written by the publisher that developed the product. |
|
3rd Party File This is a file written by another Publisher (3rd Party) and is used in the current application. An example of 3rd party files is some DLL files that are technically used by the application but are also distributed freely and can be used by other applications. |

Operating Systems Tab | |

Incremental Search
You can use the incremental search feature to locate an entry in the tree. To perform an incremental search, click the tab that you want to search, and type the word(s) or number(s) that make up the entry that you want to locate. The window automatically locates the closest existing value in the currently visible nodes in the tree.
For example, highlight the Master SAI file in the left navigation pane. Click the All Contents tab, and type Microsoft. The Microsoft publisher node is located and highlighted.
The entry that you want to locate must be visible in the tree—it cannot be in a branch that is currently collapsed. For example, if only Publisher nodes are visible in the tree on the All Contents tab, you can only search for publishers. If you expand a Publisher node, you can also search for applications associated with that publisher.
It is necessary to type quickly to perform an incremental search. If you type too slowly, the search may not produce the result you expect. For example, if you type M and then wait a second or two, the first publisher beginning with “M” will be highlighted. If you then type I, the first publisher starting with “I” will be highlighted.
Sorting Entries in a Column
Click the column heading to sort the contents of that column. The default sort order is ascending. This command sorts text alphabetically, numerically, or by date in ascending or descending order. Click the column heading to toggle the sort order.
Moving Columns to a New Position
Columns on the Editor tab can be moved to any position on the page. To do this, drag the column heading to the location you want.
