You can use AND and OR Boolean operators when defining the rules that control the distribution of an application. You can also use groups of rules to further control the distribution. Examples of using AND/OR Boolean operators and groups are provided below.
You want to require a workstation to have either a Pentium III processor (or better) or the Windows 2000 operating system. To do so, use the following rule:
Processor type(Processor) >= Pentium III OR OS version(Windows NT/2000/XP) >= 5.00.2195
To create this rule:
On the Distribution Rules page, click the
button, then select .In the Processor Rule dialog box, select

In the list, change the AND operator, located in front of the OS Version rule, to an OR operator.
You want to require a workstation to have either a Pentium III processor (or better) or the Windows 2000 operating system with at least 512 MB of memory. To do so, use the following rule:
Processor type(Processor) >= Pentium III OR (OS version(Windows NT/2000/XP) >= 5.00.2195 AND System memory(RAM) >= 512)
To create this rule:
On the Distribution Rules page, click the
button, then select .In the Processor Rule dialog box, select
, select , then click to add the rule to the list.On the Distribution Rules page, click the
button, then select to add a new group to the list.The new group is labeled Group 1, unless you’ve previously added groups to the list. In addition, it is assigned the AND operator by default.
Locate Group 1 in the list and change the AND operator to an OR operator.
Next to Group 1 in the list, click the Add to Group button, then select Operating System.
In the Operating System Rule dialog box, select 5.00.2195, then click to add the rule under Group 1 in the list.
, select , enterNext to Group 1 in the list, click the
button, then select .In the Memory Rule dialog box, select 512, then click to add the rule under Group 1 in the list.
