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)`

Overview

Note Service Anywhere Push Adapter is renamed to SMA-X Push Adapter.

Integration between Universal CMDB (UCMDB) and Micro Focus Service Management Automation X (SMA-X) suite enables you to share information from UCMDB with SMA-X. Common use cases include Hardware, Installed Software, Running Software, and Business Services.

You can use the integration to automate the creation and update of information in SMA-X. This ensures SMA-X is kept up to date with real, accurate, discovered data in your environment.

How Data is Synchronized Between UCMDB and SMA-X

The following graphic shows the high-level components of the integration:

Note The Push Adapter and Push Connector are executed in the Data Flow Probe/Integration Service process.

UCMDB stores its information using CIs. The integration chooses which data to pull from UCMDB by defining integration TQL queries. Each TQL query defines a superset of data relevant for the integration.

The UCMDB Push Engine:

Retrieves the required data from UCMDB, using the given TQL query.
If set for differential synchronization, filters the data to include only the data that has changed since the last execution of this synchronization.
Splits the data into multiple chunks without breaking consistency.
Sends the information to the Probe/Adapter

The Push Adapter is a generic framework for easily configuring push adapters, using only XML and GroovyGroovy is an agile and dynamic language, natively supported by the Java Virtual Machine. It allows simple scripting capabilities, while maintaining all the strengths and capabilities of Java. It can execute simple String manipulation, and use 3rd party libraries. For more information, see http://groovy.codehaus.org/. It allows easy mapping of the data from the UCMDB data model into the SMA-X data model, and the transfer of this converted data into the Push Connector. For more information, see Developing Push Adapters in the Developer Reference section of the UCMDB Help.

The Push Connector is a component that connects to the Push Adapter, built specifically to reconcile, push, and handle the complex logic needed to synchronize data into SMA-X.
