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 with Preconfigured Apache Tomcat Server on Linux
Note
-
Starting with UCMDB Browser 4.13, the Tomcat Server comes with a configured self-signed certificate. However, if you want to change the SSL, follow the steps described in Configure SSL.
-
Starting with UCMDB Browser 4.12, the default port value of the Tomcat Server is 8443, and the default protocol is HTTPS.
If the port value of the UCMDB server is 8443, you need to change the port value of the Tomcat Server, as described in Change the Default Port of the Tomcat Server.
- 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 (_).
- OpenJDK 8 (64 bit) must be installed on the server where you install the UCMDB Browser (the Apache Tomcat version gets its Java from the JAVA_HOME environment variable).
-
The pre-configured Apache Tomcat Server has pre-defined user credentials to access the Tomcat Manager Application. The user credentials are: admin/admin. It is strongly recommended to change these credentials after installation to prevent unauthorized access to the Tomcat Manager Application.
To change these credentials go to the Tomcat conf folder, and change the credentials in the file tomcat-users.xml. For more details, see the Tomcat online documentation at: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/manager-howto.html
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
To install the UCMDB Browser:
- Extract the contents of the archive file HPE-Browser-<version_number>.<build_number>-tomcat-assembly-unix.tar.gz into the folder ucmdb-browser on your home directory.
-
Go to the ucmdb_browser_config.xml file in the folder ./ucmdb-tomcat/conf and configure the connection to UCMDB as follows:
- protocol. CMDB Server protocol
- host_name. CMDB Server name
- host_port. CMDB Server port
-
Ensure that all shell scripts (./ucmdb-browser/bin/*.sh files) have ‘execute’ permission. You can use the command ls –l ./ucmdb-browser/bin/ to do this.
If the shell scripts do not have 'execute' permissions, add them by invoking chmod a+x ./ucmdb-browser/bin/*.sh.
- Start the Tomcat server with the pre-installed UCMDB Browser by invoking ./ucmdb-browser/bin/startup.sh.
Note
- To stop the Tomcat server, use the command ./ucmdb-browser/bin/shutdown.sh.
-
When the UCMDB Browser is embedded on the UCMDB Server and installed on Linux, ensure that the /etc/hosts file is updated with: 127.0.0.1 localhost.
