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 |

How to Prevent Custom CI Attributes Values from Being Updated by Default Values During Reconciliation
Previously, during reconciliation, by default Universal Discovery updates custom CI attributes values filled manually or by an integration with the values it discovered. For example, when the default value of a CI property is not NULL, like "N/A" , then if the incoming value equals "N/A" , Universal Discovery will update the existing value of this CI property in the database with the default value.
Now if you want to keep custom CI attributes values, you can change the enable.default.value.update setting to false (default value: true). Then the validation logic works as follows:
If:
- enable.default.value.update is false
- The CI property is required and its default value is not null
- The incoming value of the CI property equals the default value
Then:
Universal Discovery will not update the incoming value to the database. The custom value of the CI property will not be overwritten.
To set enable.default.value.update to false, do the following:
- Go to JMX Console > UCMDB:service=Settings Services > setSettingValue.
- In the name field, enter enable.default.value.update.
- In the value field, enter false.
-
Click Invoke.
- Restart the UCMDB server service.
