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 |

Progress Status | Total | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Pending Probe | Displays the total number of trigger CIs waiting for the Probe to pick them up for execution. | Displays the number of triggered CIs successfully waiting for the Probe to pick them up for execution. | -- | -- |

CI Count View
Clicking a link in the Triggered CIs view enables you to view the number of triggered CIs for each discovery job that have reached the selected stage of discovery and with the selected status.
Important Information | In the Discovery Modules/Jobs view, the CI Count job is displayed only when standing on a module which contains 2 or more jobs. If there is only one job in the module, clicking the triggered CI displays the CI Instances view. |
User interface elements are described below (unlabeled elements are shown in angle brackets):

Remove CI. Deletes the selected CI. The CI is deleted from the specific job or activity job. Available: Discovery Modules/Jobs view only, when you select a module category and select a job. |
|
Rerun Discovery. Enables you to rerun the selected discovery jobs. The execution complies to the defined execution policy for the relevant discovery jobs. | |
/ |
Pause / Resume. Enables you to pause/resume a selected job. Note
Available: Discovery Modules/Jobs view only |
CI Count | Displays the number of triggered CI per job that have reached the selected stage of discovery and with the selected status. |
Job Name | Displays the list of jobs that have reached the selected stage of discovery and with the selected status. |
CI Instances View
Clicking a job in the CI Count view displays the triggered CIs for that discovery job.
UI Element (A-Z) | Description |
---|---|
Up one level. Enables you to move up a level of information. | |
Refresh. Refreshes the list of triggered CIs. | |
Add CI. Opens the Choose CIs to Add dialog box, enabling you to add a newly-discovered CI to the triggered CI list. For details, see Choose CIs to Add Dialog Box. Available: Discovery Modules/Jobs view only |

Show additional data. Opens the Discovered CIs dialog box, enabling you to view additional information about the CI. For details, see Discovered/Created/Last Updated CIs Dialog Box. | |
Show results for triggered CI. An ad hoc request is sent to the Data Flow Probe and retrieves the latest results of the job (CIT name and number of discovered CIs) that is running on a specific trigger CI. This ad hoc request does not run the job, but brings the results of the previous job run that are stored in the Probe's database. If the job has not yet run for this trigger CI, a message is displayed. See Show Results for Triggered CI Dialog Box. If no communication log exists on the Probe, a message is displayed. You can choose to always create communication logs. For details, see Adapter Configuration Tab. |
