Baseline becomes not relevant

In 10.0.2, I have a baseline in a custom site (siteA). The baseline relevancy is set to All Computers and I have computers subscribed to siteA.

When I add taskA (from siteA) to the baseline and check the relevancy checkbox, endpoints become relevant for the baseline (endpoints are relevant for taskA).

When I add taskB (which has zero relevant endpoints) from siteA to the baseline and check the checkbox, all the clients that were relevant for the baseline become not relevant.

It is acting as if the task relevancy checkbox is AND-ing the relevancies, not OR-ing them. I have another 10.0.2 environment and this isn’t doesn’t exist. I do have other baselines in this deployment that have multiple tasks within them that are relevant and working as expected Any suggestions?

I do also have this siteA added in the bes admin tool section to allow for running on locked clients.

I found that taskB had a syntax error in the relevancy (“contins” vs “contains”). After correcting this in the task and syncing the baseline, the baseline remained relevant. I didn’t now that a bad fixlet could impact the entire baseline relevance but I guess it makes sense.

Yes, that does happen in the case of a syntax error.

The relevance of each component that has “include in baseline relevance” is OR’d with all of the other components. If there is a syntax error in any component’s relevance, the statement as a whole throws an error and the baseline will evaluate as Not Relevant.
