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 |

Initialize the PostgreSQL Server
If you choose to not configure the UCMDB Server with the PostgreSQL database at the time of UCMDB installation, you can initialize the PostgreSQL database and create the database service according the following instructions:
Note Initializing the PostgreSQL database and creating the database service is necessary only if you want to use the local PostgreSQL as an alternative to Oracle/MSSQL. It is not mandatory to use the local PostgreSQL; the UCMDB Server functions properly without it.
For Windows:
Note In the following instructions, replace C:\UCMDB\UCMDBServer with the appropriate path.
- Download and install vcredist_x64.exe from the Microsoft website.
-
Run: C:\UCMDB\UCMDBServer\PostgreSQL\pgInitDb.bat username password port
The username, password, and port must be chosen by the user. Verify that the port is free.
-
Run:
C:\UCMDB\UCMDBServer\PostgreSQL\pgsql\bin\pg_ctl.exe register -N UCMDB_Server_DB -D "C:\UCMDB\UCMDBServer\PostgreSQL\pgsql\data". -
Run: sc description UCMDB_Server_DB "UCMDB Database".
-
Run: net start UCMDB_Local_DB.
-
Run the configuration wizard, and provide the username, password and port from above.
For Linux:
Note In the following instructions, replace /opt/UCMDB/UCMDBServer with the appropriate path.
- Run: find /opt/UCMDB/UCMDBServer/PostgreSQL -type f \( -name "*.sh" -or -name "*.sql" -or -name "*.conf" -or -name "*.cnf" \) -exec dos2unix {} \;
- Create the postgres_server group using: /usr/sbin/groupadd -f postgres_server
- Create the postgres_server user using: /usr/sbin/useradd -r -g postgres_server postgres_server
-
Run: rpm -qa | grep -ic postgres
Note If there are other versions of the Postgres RPM package installed on the system, it is recommended to remove them as they may cause conflicts.
-
Run:
cd /opt/UCMDB/UCMDBServer/PostgreSQL
chmod -R 770 .
chown -R postgres_server .
chgrp -R postgres_server .
-
Run: runuser -l postgres_server -c "/opt/UCMDB/UCMDBServer/PostgreSQL/pgInitDB.sh username password port"
The username, password, and port must be chosen by the user. Verify that the port is free.
-
Edit /opt/UCMDB/UCMDBServer/PostgreSQL/pgsql/postgresql.server and replace the string _install_dir_ with the path to the installation folder (for example, /opt/UCMDB/UCMDBServer).
-
Run:
cd /opt/UCMDB/UCMDBServer/PostgreSQL/pgsql
chmod a+rx ./postgresql.server
-
Copy /opt/UCMDB/UCMDBServer/PostgreSQL/pgsql/postgresql.server to /etc/init.d/ and rename it to postgresql_server.
-
Run:
chkconfig --add postgresql_server
/sbin/service postgresql_server start
-
Run the configuration wizard, and provide the username, password and port from above.
