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.

Creating TQL Queries in the UCMDB Managers

The following managers enable you to create TQL queries that retrieve specific data from the CMDB and to display that data:

Impact Analysis Manager. An Impact rule simulates how infrastructure changes can impact your system and enables you to determine the true origin of a problem and its business impact. During rule creation, you define the base TQL query type, which can be a new query or an existing query. For details, see Impact Analysis Manager.
Enrichment Manager. An Enrichment rule enables enlarging the CMDB, deleting CI instances from the CMDB, or updating the attributes of a CI that already exists in the CMDB. During rule creation, you define the base TQL query type, which can be a new query or an existing query. For details, see Enrichment Manager.
Modeling Studio. You can build a new TQL query using the TQL Query Editor or you can build a new query while defining a new view, template, or perspective using the Pattern View Editor. You can also define the topology report settings for any view in the Pattern View Editor. For details, see Modeling Studio.
