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 |

Introduction
Before installing the UCMDB Browser, ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
- UCMDB version. Any UCMDB 10.10 or later version.
-
UCMDB Browser Server. 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 UCMDB Browser installation currently comes in five formats:
-
Web Application Package. A zip file called UCMDB-Browser-<version_number>.<build_number>-all-in-one-standalone.zip that consists of the ucmdb-browser.war file, discovery-log.war file, and a /conf folder with the UCMDB Browser configuration files. Use this format if you already have an Apache Tomcat Server installed, or you want to install the Tomcat server on your own.
Note If you are planning to install the UCMDB Browser with a Tomcat server, it is not recommended to do this on the same machine that runs the UCMDB Server. For details about installing both applications on the same machine, see Install the UCMDB Browser on the Same Machine that Runs the UCMDB Server.
- Pre-configured Apache Tomcat Server package for Windows. A zip file called UCMDB-Browser-<version_number>.<build_number>-tomcat-assembly-windows.zip that consists of a pre-configured Apache Tomcat server for Windows with the ucmdb-browser.war file, and discovery-log.war file. The UCMDB Browser configuration files reside under the /conf folder.
- Pre-configured Apache Tomcat Server package for Linux. An archive file called UCMDB-Browser-<version_number>.<build_number>-tomcat-assembly-unix.tar.gz that consists of a pre-configured Apache Tomcat server for Linux with the ucmdb-browser.war file, and discovery-log.war file. The UCMDB Browser configuration files reside under the /conf folder.
- Existing Apache Tomcat server package. A zip file called UCMDB-Browser-<version_number>.<build_number>-ucmdb-browser-standalone.zip that consists of the ucmdb-browser.war file, and a /conf folder with the UCMDB Browser configuration files. Use this format if you have an Apache Tomcat sever installed and you want to upgrade the UCMDB Browser to the latest version.
-
Embedded UCMDB Browser package. A zip file called UCMDB-Browser-<version_number>.<build_number>-ucmdb-browser-embedded.zip that consists of the ucmdb-browser.war file. Use this format if:
- You want to install the UCMDB Browser on the same machine that runs the UCMDB server.
-
You have a UCMDB Server installed and you want to upgrade the UCMDB Browser to the latest version.
Important
The latest version of UCMDB Browser can be embedded only in the latest released version of UCMDB server.
The table below describes the compatibility between the embedded UCMDB Browser and UCMDB server:
Embedded UCMDB Browser version UCMDB server version 4.15.1 10.33 4.14 10.33 4.13 10.32 4.12 10.31 4.10 10.30 For available options, see Move the UCMDB Browser embedded to UCMDB Browser standalone in the Universal CMDB Browser Online Help.
Caution Apart from the OOTB files, DO NOT ADD any additional resources into the <UCMDB_Server_Home>\deploy directory. Because UCMDB will try to deploy every file from this location, which may cause the ucmdb-browser.war file not deployed completely, and as a result the UCMDB Browser will fail to start.
