Help understanding relevance

(imported topic written by vincent.h)

Hi, Can someone help me understand a bit of relevance and what it means?

There’s two things I’m uncertain about.

  1. What is “platform id” inspector? I can see from the following description of platform id of operating system, that it can return two values 1 = win95/98 and 2 = winNT. Are there other values that it can return? What are those values? http://support.bigfix.com/cgi-bin/inspectorsearch/single_inspector.cgi?cpx=p&keyphrase=platform+id+of+%26lt%3Boperating+system%26gt%3B&type=operating+system&win=WinSkip&lin=LinSkip&hpux=HPUXSkip&mac=MacSkip&aix=AIXSkip&sol=SolSkip&wm=WMSkip&ubu=UbuSkip&client=on&core=on&session=on&regex=on
  2. It seems that maybe the inspector documentation is out of date? See example below which is the power site relevance. What is platform id of operating system != 3? (what does the value 3 represent?)
  3. I’m trying to understand what “in proxy agent context” is. There isn’t a description of this in the documentation at all.

(if( name of operating system starts with “Win” ) then platform id of operating system != 3 else true) AND (if exists property “in proxy agent context” then ( not in proxy agent context ) else true )

For this statement, if a system is a mac, then the first part of the relevance is true. What does the second part evaluate to? "
if

exists
property
"in proxy agent context"

then
(
not
in proxy agent context )
else

true
)"

Can someone help walk me through this relevance and examples? Thanks!

I’m trying to break down my understanding of the relevance so that I can understand what systems this relevance would evaluate to true. Will mobile OS’s or Mac systems satisfy this relevance statement?

All computers will be relevant to:

(if( name of operating system starts with “Win” ) then platform id of operating system != 3 else true) AND (if exists property “in proxy agent context” then ( not in proxy agent context ) else true )

Unless it is a (Windows computer with Platform ID of OS = 3) OR if it is any computer “in proxy agent context”

This means that nearly 100% of all computers should be relevant to a task with this relevance since these are not typical cases.
