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 Map Scan File Attributes to UCMDB
This task describes how to map attributes that are contained in scan files to UCMDB CIs.
-
Prerequisites
Before creating a mapping, perform an analysis on what information you want to map, what data element in the scan file contains the information you want to capture, where the data element in the scan file is located, and which UCMDB CI you want to store this information.
-
Select a CI to map
-
Open the Hardware Mapping Configuration dialog box. To do this, perform one of the following:
Note Alternatively, advanced users can manually edit the ParseEnrichedScanFile.py script file to create complex topologies. There is a commented out sample available in this script that demonstrates how to map the hwAssetDescription asset field to the node's Description attribute.
- Adapter Management > Inventory Discovery by Scanner > Adapter Definition tab , expand the Global Configuration Files pane, click HardwareMappingConfig and then click Edit .
- Inventory Discovery Activity > Preferences Page, then click the Custom Mapping button. For more information, see the section describing the Inventory Discovery Activity in the Universal CMDB Discovery and Integrations Content Help.
- Click Select CI to select a CI. The Select CI dialog box opens.
Note This option is only available when Hardware Mapping Configuration is selected in the left pane.
- Select a CI that you want to create a mapping.
- In the CI Editor, select properties for the selected CI.
-
-
Select attributes to map
- Click Select Attributes to select attributes. The Select an Attribute dialog box opens.
- Select properties for the selected attribute in the Attribute Editor.
-
Results
Verify that data in the scan file was mapped as expected to UCMDB by using the CI Type Manager. For more information, see CI Type Manager.
