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.

Inventory Tools

The Inventory Tools enable you to view and analyze scan file data.

Note These tools are installed using the Data Flow Probe Installer program. They are installed together with the Data Flow Probe. However, it is recommended to install them on a separate computer to prevent performance degradation on the Data Flow Probe, and also to prevent data corruption of the SAI files. For more information on installing Inventory Tools, see the section that describes installing Data Flow Probes in the interactive Universal CMDB Deployment Guide.

To install them separately, run the Data Flow Probe Installer program and select the Inventory Tools type installation. For details about supported platforms, see the Universal CMDB Support Matrix document.

To start the tools (on Windows), click Start > All Programs > UCMDB > Inventory Tools.

When the Inventory Tools are installed on your Windows computer, you can view the help documentation for the tools by clicking the Help menu option of the Inventory Tool. Users of all platforms that have Adobe Reader installed on the computer can also view the help documentation by clicking Start > All Programs > UCMDB > Inventory Tools.

Software Application Index (SAI) Editor

View Software Application Index (SAI) file data, and perform additional tasks as follows:

View and edit a collection of SAI files
Create new User SAIs
Move and copy items between SAIs (you can only edit User SAIs), and delete items
Export the contents of an SAI to XML format
Display license relationships
Add and edit existing license relationships

Viewer

Displays software, hardware and asset information that is collected for an individual computer as follows:

Details of all software scanned, presented in an explorer style view
User entered asset information
Detailed and summarized hardware and configuration information
The contents of key files collected during Inventory Discovery, such as system configuration files
Details of all logical drives
Details of all recognized applications and their utilization statistics
Detailed comparison of two scan files

Analysis Workbench

Perform analysis tasks using three types of information as follows:

Software files that are recognized as belonging to a particular application
Unidentified software and files that may belong to unrecognized applications
Hardware and asset data

Analysis Workbench uses the Software Application Index (SAI) that contains application and version descriptions to identify the files found during Inventory Discovery. Scan results are checked against the SAI to identify and recognize software. Any unrecognized files can be marked for further investigation, and when identified, their details can be added to the SAI file so they will be correctly identified in the future.
