Close—Closes the application and causes re-recognition to occur.

Editor Tab

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.

The Left Navigation Pane

The left navigation pane for this tab shows an icon list of the SAI files that can be viewed. The following icons are used to represent User and Master SAI files.

Icon	Description

Application Types
Operating Systems
Languages
License Relations
Package Rules
Version Data Rules

All Contents
Files
Application Types
Operating Systems
Languages
License Relations
Package Rules
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.
Application Types Tab
	This icon represents the different applications software categories (for example, word processor and spreadsheet).
Operating Systems Tab
	This icon represents Operating Systems.
Languages Tab
	This icon represents languages.
License Relations Tab
	Indicates that this application also licenses another application.
	Indicates that this application is licensed by another application.
	Indicates that this application both licenses and is licensed by another application.
Package Rules Tab
	This icon represents installed package rules.
Version Data Rules Tab
	This icon represents version data rules.

Buttons on the Editor Tab

The following buttons are available only when you start the SAI Editor from the Analysis Workbench.

Button	Function
Save	Saves any modifications made to the User SAI.
Reload	Discards any unsaved changes to the User SAI, reloads the existing one from disk, and re-organizes all affected file entries.
Close	Closes the SAI Editor. If you have made any changes, the SAI Teaching Options dialog box is displayed. Set the teaching options as follows:
	Recognition Use level 3 heuristics—SAI teaching uses the same recognition method that is used during the loading process. If Level 3 heuristics are enabled, teaching a single file will reprocess all files on all machines on which that file occurs. If Level 3 heuristics are disabled, teaching a single file will cause all files in all directory/machine combinations where the file occurs to be re-recognized. Save changes to SAI When AW exits—Any changes to the SAI are saved when you exit the Analysis Workbench application. Immediately—Any changes to the SAI are saved immediately. Tag changed items Selecting this option makes the following further options available: Files—Any files that are affected by the SAI teaching are tagged. Applications—Any applications that are affected by the SAI teaching are tagged. Directories—Any directories that are affected by the SAI teaching are tagged. Machines—Any machines that are affected by the SAI teaching are tagged. Set Local Tags—If this option is selected, Local Tags are used for the operations. Set Global Tags—If this option is selected, Global Tags are used for the operations. Set options as default Select this box to retain these settings as the default for future Close operations.

Incremental Searching, Sorting, and Moving Columns

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.
