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	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

How to Consume Federated KPI Data from Configuration Manager

This workflow provides a brief overview of the steps to be performed in UCMDB, in order to consume federated KPI data from Configuration Manager.

Create an Integration Point to Federate KPI Data

In the Integration Studio, create a new integration point.

Set the following adapter properties:

Field	Description
Adapter	Click the button and select CMKpiAdapter.
Credentials ID	Do the following: Click the button. Select Generic Protocol and click OK. Click the button to add the credentials to connect to the Configuration Manager database. Enter credentials for the user who has Manage, Authorize, and Access to UI permissions. When finished, click OK.
Hostname/IP	Provide the host name or IP address of the Configuration Manager database.
Integration Name	Enter a name for the new integration point.
Port	Enter the port number that is used for communication with the Configuration Manager database.
Use SSL	Select False. You cannot use secured communication to federate data from Configuration Manager.

Click Test Connection to make sure that you have configured the integration point correctly.
Click OK to save the integration point.
Select the KPI and KPIObjective CI types in the Supported and Selected CI Types tree.
Click the button to save the integration point.

For further details about creating integration points, see the section about the Integration Studio in the Data Flow Management section of the UCMDB Help.

Create KPI Reports

You can create KPI reports based on the CIs in a view, a custom TQL query, or business services.

In UCMDB, create a new view based on a custom TQL or copy an existing view.

Note When using a custom TQL query, make sure you take into account the limitations of the data capacity when using federation. You should filter the CIs in the TQL query to take this limitation into account.
For each configuration item that you want to associate with a policy, attach the selected CI to the Kpi CI type and the Kpi CI type to the KpiObjective CI type, using composition links. The cardinality should be 0..* if you also want to obtain results for CIs that do not have associated KPI information.

Note If you want to create a business services report, select the BusinessService CI type when creating the TQL query.
Specify the Configuration Manager integration point that you defined to be the data source that provides the policy and policy result data.
Set the hierarchy. An example is shown below:
Add properties for the KpiObjective CI type to the report layout: An example is shown below:
If desired, you can schedule these reports to be created periodically. For details, see the Data Flow Management section of the UCMDB Help.

For details about creating reports, see the section about reports in the Modeling section of the UCMDB Help.
