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.
Words and Phrases
| 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. |
Using Boolean Operators
| 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 |

CMS Architecture Considerations
Size of my enterprise: Its all numbers. You need to have an idea of how many servers and network devices you have. Micro Focus CMS (UCMDB and UD) product versions have different capacity boundaries. For example, current CMS (version 10.32) with Oracle Database 12g can handle 150 million CIs and relationships.
Integration points: CMS is often the central point of focus in any reference architecture. Identifying critical integration points will help to design the architecture.
Network layout: For each customer, the network segments are different. You will see different network topology adopted and preached, and will see one of the below structures in your network:
- IP segmentation based on geo-clustering (for example, country-specific segmentation).
- IP segmentation based on data center location. Some architectures where spanning is enabled will allow the same IP segments across data centers.
- PCI, DMZ, and other secure segments.
- Non-routable islands where IP routing is not allowed.
Network latency: Discovery is network driven. Understanding the latencies across network segments will help to plan the probe location.
Capacity and sizing: Availability, number of users, data center locations, recovery strategy.
Integration scope: Identify integration points for CMS data.
