Error description

• APAR Type:            Doc
  Approver Initials:    gc
  Severity:             3
  Reported Release:     622
  Compid:               5724C040W   ITM Windows OS agent
  ABSTRACT:             Registry situations with OR operator not
  working
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
   The ITM User's Guide for the OS agent for Windows, in
   the description of the Registry attribute group is not
   documenting the limitation that a situation for this
   attribute group can have only one set of filtering data:
      Path Name, String Value, Root Key Name
  
  RECREATE INSTRUCTIONS:
   Create a situation for the Registry attribute group.
   Use more than one line of formulas. Each one with
   a different set of filtering data. These formulas, by
   definition are put in OR. When the situation is started
   it will not open for all the expected events.
  

Local fix

• Change the situations for the Registry attribute group
  to a definition with a single set of filtering data.
  

Problem summary

• The ITM User's Guide for the OS agent for Windows, in
  the description of the Registry attribute group is not
  documenting the limitation that a situation for this
  attribute group can have only one set of filtering data:
     Path Name, String Value, Root Key Name
  

Problem conclusion

• The User's guide must be amended in the Attributes reference.

  document name: Windows OS Agent User's Guide
  chapter: Attributes reference  (section: Registry attributes)
  page number(s): N/A
  detail of the change: Add the following paragraph before the
  initial "note"
  Situations can contain only one row of filter data in the
  situations formula. If more than one row is provided the results
  are undefined.
  Therefore it is allowed only one set of filtering data: Path
  Name, String Value, Root Key Name.
  

Temporary fix
