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.
Words and Phrases
| 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. |
Using Boolean Operators
| 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 |

Databases
One of the following supported databases is required to run Configuration Management System (CMS) 2018.05:
- Oracle Server
- Microsoft SQL Server
- PostgreSQL Server
The table below describes hardware requirements for database server:
| Deployment | CPU | Memory | Linux Swap | Windows Virtual Memory | Free Disk Space |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Enterprise | 24 Cores | 64 GB | 64 GB | 96 GB | 300 GB |
Note
-
It is strongly recommended to host database server (Oracle, Microsoft SQL, or PostgreSQL) on a physical machine, and it should be an independent server without other applications (including the UCMDB server) running on it.
Also, if the database server machine is a virtual machine, the resource MUST be dedicated for the database server.
-
Apart from the embedded PostgreSQL database server, installing UCMDB server and database server (Oracle, Microsoft SQL, or PostgreSQL) together on the same machine is not supported.
-
The hardware requirements could be the same as those for UCMDB server, but the DB SPACE depends on the data scale. For example, for a data scale of 30 millions CIs, we recommended 500 GB or more space for data files and 200 GB or more space for log files.
Oracle System Requirements
The following table lists the Oracle Servers supported for working with Universal CMDB. A supported option means that Micro Focus quality assurance personnel have successfully performed basic tests on that option.
| Database Version | Edition | System Type | Supported Products |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Oracle 12c * (With or without the Oracle Advanced Security Option enabled) |
|
64-bit |
|
|
|
||
|
Oracle 11.2 (11g R2) * (With or without the Oracle Advanced Security Option enabled) |
|
64-bit |
|
|
64-bit |
|
Note
- It is strongly recommended to apply the latest critical Oracle patches per your operating system. For details, consult the Oracle documentation.
- The UCMDB server(s) should be located in the same LAN with the database servers (without a proxy and firewalls between them). Otherwise, your system's performance may be impacted.
- For information about how to configure UCMDB to support the Oracle Advanced Security Option (ASO), see the Hardening section of the UCMDB Help.
-
* Consult the Oracle documentation for supported platforms.
- ** The connection from UCMDB to an Oracle RAC environment is supported only by using the Oracle native drivers. For detailed instructions, see Database section of UCMDB Help.
