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 |

Universal Discovery - Content - Host Resources |
During the Host Applications by Shell job's run, there is a set of UI propagated warnings with Stack Traces. Root cause: WebSphere plug-in fails to find WebSphere configuration file in the listening endpoint flow. Fixed the issue by adding the try catch in the code in case some error occurs. |
QCCR1H121848 |
Universal Discovery - Content - Host Resources |
During the Host Applications by Shell job's run, Stack Trace is present in the UI. Root cause: JBoss plug-in invalid exception handling during the endpoint by the configuration file reporting flow. Fixed the issue by adding the try catch in the code in case some error occurs. |

QCCR1H121891 |
Universal Discovery - Inventory Scanner |
The Host Connection by Shell and Inventory Discovery by Scanner jobs return duplicate CIs because of two different serial numbers found. Fixed the duplicate issue by modifying the Inventory Discovery by Scanner job. |
QCCR1H121893 |
Universal Discovery - Inventory Discovery - Manual Scanning |
Now Node CIs will not be merged into one node and the ud_unique_id of node CIs will be filled with proper values after running the Inventory Discovery by Scanner job. |
QCCR1H121898 |
Universal Discovery - Content - Virtualization - Citrix Xen |
Citrix Xen discovery fails to get the results with the error message returned. Fixed the issue by adding the original method to get the host so that the discovery can get the result. |
QCCR1H121920 |
Integration - Integration Adapters - Generic DB Adapter - SCCM/SMS Adapter |

Universal Discovery - Discovery Troubleshooting |
The Host FingerPrint by NMAP job fails with the error message. Fixed the issue by modifying the NMAP discovery Jython script. |
QCCR1H121996 |
Universal Discovery - Inventory Discovery |
The attribute dns_servers discovered by the Host Connection by Shell job contains the old data. Fixed the issue by only keeping the new value for the attribute dns_servers. |
QCCR1H122000 |
Universal Discovery - Content - Host Resources |
The Host Resources by Shell job can now successfully discover Hitachi HBAs on Linux. |
QCCR1H122062 |
Integration - Integration Adapters - Jython Based Integrations - NNM Integration |
Added a new parameter NNMiHost to the NNMI Update IDs adapter. NNMiHost is the host name to be used with the NNMi integration. NNMiHost has higher priority over IP address, which means instead of IP address, NNMiHost will be used if it is provided. If using NNMiHost instead of IP address in the population from NNMi integration, you must configure the same NNMiHost here as well for the update. |
QCCR1H122098 |
Universal Discovery - UD Agent |
Silent installation of UD Agent fails on Windows systems. Fixed the issue by adding /log <log_file_name.txt> to enable the logging function in the existing UD Agent installation example of the "How to Install the Universal Discovery Agent Manually" section in the Data Flow Management section of the UCMDB Help. |
