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)`

How to Work with the CA CMDB Push Adapter

The CA CMDB push adapter allows replication of CIs and Relationships from UCMDB to CA CMDB.

Prerequisite - Set up the CA CMDB protocol

This integration uses the CA CMDB protocol. For credential information, see Supported Protocols.
Prerequisite - Other
Data Flow Probe System:
1. Copy all of the files in the CA CMDB system's %NX_ROOT%\java\lib directory to the CaCmdbPushAdapter directory on the data flow probe system:
2. Locate the file, NX.ENV, in the CaCmdbPushAdapter directory. If the file does not exist, create it in the CaCmdbPushAdapter directory and add the following text to it:
3. Open <UCMDB Installation>\DataFlowProbe\runtime\probeManager\discoveryConfigFiles\globalSettings.xml, locate the following line, and add ",CaCmdbPushAdapter/*.*" as illustrated in bold:
4. Restart the Data Flow Probe service.
Configure integration queries

Create integration queries to query the CIs and Relationships that must be pushed from UCMDB to CA CMDB.

For an example of such an integration query, see Integration Query.
Create the XML mapping files
For every integration query that you create, create an XML mapping file with the exact same name as the integration query (case-sensitive). Create the XML files in the following directory:
```
<UCMDB Installation>\UCMDBServer\runtime\fcmdb\CodeBase\CaCmdbPushAdapter\mappings
```
For more information about mapping files, see "Prepare the Mapping Files" in the Developer Reference section of the UCMDB Help.

Note A sample mapping file, Unix_SW_to_CACMDB.xml, is provided out- of-the-box with the integration package.

Create an integration point

In UCMDB create an integration point. (For details, see "Integration Studio" in the Data Flow Management section of the UCMDB Help.)

Include the following details:

Provide a name and description for the integration point.
Provide the following details for the CaCmdbPushAdapter adapter:

Attribute	Description
Hostname/IP	The host name or IP address of the CA CMDB server.
Port	The port number of the CA CMDB server.
Credentials	The CA CMDB credential that was created in the prerequisites section above
Data Flow Probe	The name of the Data Flow Probe on which the integration runs.

Test the connection to the target CMDB server.
Add a job definition to the integration point, selecting the queries to use to synchronize data between UCMDB and CA CMDB. Define a synchronization schedule, if required.
Invoke the ad hoc job, Full Topology Sync, for a full synchronization of the data.
