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)`

Processing Scan Files

Processing Normal Scan Files

At the end of the enrichment process, a new enriched scan file is created; the enriched core file is converted to UCMDB CI and relationship data, and reported to UCMDB. If delta scanning was enabled in the parameters for the Scanner used to produce the scan file, the incoming scan file is stored in the Original directory for future use by the delta scan processing. If delta scanning was disabled, the incoming scan file is deleted.

Tip

If an error occurs, the original scan file is moved to a failure directory and is not deleted.
If an enriched scan file for the same computer already exists, the old file is overwritten.

Reprocessing Normal Scan Files

Scan files can be reprocessed after they are enriched. For example, you may want to run this operation when you update the Software Application Index (SAI) file. For example, after you use Express Teaching to teach applications, you may want to reprocess scan files. Scan files for selected nodes are moved from the Processed folder to the Incoming folder. Then, the scan file is processed using the updated SAI file.

To reprocess normal scan files, see How to Reprocess Scan Files.

Processing Delta Scan Files

The delta scan file is used in conjunction with the previous version of the scan file located in the Original directory to reconstruct the new full version of the scan file. This full version is then moved into the Incoming directory, where it gets processed in the same way as other normal scan files.

At the end of the process, the reconstructed scan file is moved to the Original directory, ready for the next time a delta scan is found for this particular scan file instance.

For details handling delta scan files (Manual Deployment mode only), see How to Set up the Scanner to Handle Delta Scan Files in Manual Deployment Mode.

Note If the enriched scan file contains the hwOSUserProfiles attribute that has about 300,000 values, the Data Flow Probe maximum memory size should be increased by one gigabyte (GB). For details on how to increase the Data Flow Probe maximum memory size , see How to Update the Data Flow Probe Memory Size.
