HP Capacity Advisor 7.2 User Guide

Character support in Capacity Analysis queries
Use only supported characters in analysis query names, descriptions, and the query filter fields
used for string comparison.
Analysis queries support the following characters:
• Uppercase and lowercase characters
• Numbers
• Hyphen
• Period
• Comma
• Parenthesis
• Single quote
• Underline
• Space
• Tab character ('\u0009')
• Newline (line feed) character ('\u000A')
• Carriage return character ('\u000D')
• Form feed character ('\u000C')
• \x0B character
The user interface alerts you if you enter unsupported characters in analysis query names or in the
query filter fields used for string comparison (for example, System Name, Hostname, or Location).
You are not alerted if you enter unsupported characters in the optional query description field.
Constructing a filter
When defining a new analysis query, or editing an existing query, an optional filter can be included
to define a set of systems with specific characteristics.
1. In the Analysis Query Definition form, click Filter System List... to open the system filter.
NOTE: If an existing query is being edited or used as the basis for a new query, this button
is not visible. Instead, the existing filter definition is available for editing.
2. Specify whether a server matches the filter when All of the expressions to be added are true,
or if Any of the expressions to be added are true. Select the relevant option from the drop-down
list.
3. Click the icon to add a relational expression to the query.
