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 |

Install the UCMDB Browser on an Existing Tomcat
Note
-
Starting with UCMDB Browser 4.12, HPE strongly recommends to secure the existing Tomcat installation. To do this, enable the HTTPS protocol, use the latest TLS, and use the latest ciphers.
- The installation directory must not contain spaces, and can use only English letters (a-z), digits (0-9), the hyphen sign ('-'), and the underscore sign (_).
Important Starting with UCMDB Browser 4.13, HTTP Protocol is disabled by default, and standalone UCMDB Browser is no longer accessible with the HTTP protocol. However, if necessary, you can still enable HTTP communications by setting to False the following settings into the <Tomcat installation path>\conf\esapi\esapi.properties file, and then restart the UCMDB Server:
HttpUtilities.SecureSession=false
HttpUtilities.ForceSecureCookies=false
-
Download and install Apache Tomcat version 8.5.15
-
Unzip the file HPE-Browser-<version_number>.<build_number>-all-in-one-standalone.zip to an accessible location.
-
Go to the folder where you extracted the contents and in the ucmdb_browser_config.xml file (located at <UCMDB_Browser_installation_folder>\conf), configure the connection to UCMDB as follows:
-
protocol. CMDB Server protocol
- host_name. CMDB Server name
- host_port. CMDB Server port
-
context_name. CMDB Server context name
Note If the root context has a default value “/” this setting can be omitted.
-
-
Update the context.xml file in the Tomcat conf folder to include the configuration files in the class path. It can be found under <Tomcat installation path>\conf\context.xml.
Add under the
<context>tag:<Environment name="ucmdb_browser_home" value="<folder path of the UCMDB_Browser_installation_folder>" type="java.lang.String" override="false"/>For example:
<Environment name="ucmdb_browser_home" value="C:\ucmdb-browser-install\" type="java.lang.String" override="false"/>Note The conf folder should not be part of the path setting for value, as shown in the example above.
-
Place the .war files under the webapps folder of Tomcat (located at <Tomcat installation path>\webapps).
-
Start the Tomcat server.
- Go to http://<server name>:<tomcat port>/ucmdb-browser.
