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.

How to Integrate BDNA Normalize with Universal Discovery

This task describes how to integrate BDNA Normalize. After BDNA is installed, and after the configurations are performed on the Data Flow Probe, the normalized installed software data produced by the scanner-based inventory is normalized using the BDNA Technopedia catalog instead of the Universal Discovery application library (SAI). To enable this integration, perform the following:

Configure the Data Flow Probe
1. Edit the dataflowprobe.properties file. To do this, go to <DataFlowProbeInstallDir>\conf directory.
  
  where <DataFlowProbeInstallDir> is the directory where Data Flow Probe is installed.
Install BDNA Normalize

Install BDNA according to the vendor instructions.
Configure BDNA
1. Double-click the Normalize shortcut that should be created by BDNA Normalize on the Windows desktop.
2. In the Data Source pane, locate HP XSF and then click . The Normalize Settings dialog box opens.
  
  Note If the HP XSF process has not been created, click on New Process and select "HP Universal Discovery (XSF)" as the datasource.
3. Click the Data Source tab.
4. Review the settings in the Input Folder - it should point to the <DataFlowProbeInstallDir>\runtime\xmlenricher\Scans\ProcessedNew directory.
5. In Actions section, the XSF Out field should point to the <DataFlowProbeInstallDir>\runtime\xmlenricher\Scans\ProcessedCore directory.
Results

Data enriched by BDNA can be pushed using integration adapters to other systems.

Tip Use the newly-created RecognizedBy (recognized_by) attribute for the Installed Software CI to locate and leverage BDNA-created data. If the value of this attribute is "BDNA" - then installed software is normalized using the BDNA Technopedia catalog. If value is "SAI", the installed software CI is normalized using the Universal Discovery application library (SAI). Attribute values can be seen by using the CI Types pane.

For more information on CI Types and attributes, see CI Type Manager Page.
