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 |

Discovery Indicators
Note This feature is supported on UCMDB 10.21 CUP1 and later versions.
Starting from UCMDB Browser version 4.03, you can see different types of discovery indicators in the Search, Advanced Search and Reports modules in the UCMDB Browser.
These indicators allow you to see a warning or an error flag on a discovered CI, if any of the discovery jobs have completed with warnings or errors.
To use this feature, you need to have the Run Discovery and Integration or View Discovery Status and Error permission.
By default, the Discovery indicators are disabled. To enable the Discovery indicators, go to UCMDB Browser > Settings > Manage Discovery Status > select the Display Discovered CIs Status checkbox, and then click OK .
There are three types of discovery indicators:
- A warning indicator shows on the CI in the UCMDB Browser when there is at least one discovery job completed with warnings and there is no discovery job completed with errors.
-
An error indicator shows on the CI in the UCMDB Browser when there is at least one discovery job completed with errors.
-
A success indicator shows on the CI in the UCMDB Browser when all the discovery jobs completed successfully.
If a CI is not discovered (updated) by any of the discovery jobs, then no indicator will show on that CI.
Note In the UCMDB Browser, discovery indicators:
- Apply to discovery jobs only, including regular discovery jobs, management zone jobs, and Automated Service Modeling (ASM) jobs. Integration jobs are not supported in this release.
-
Do not show on a discovered CI when there is no relation between the CI and the job.
