The include filter need not include all attributes allowed. If more than one attribute is included, the conditions
are logically AND'd together. An attribute cannot appear in an include filter more than once, except that
an attribute having a version number value can appear twice if one operator is lt and the other operator
is ge. For example:

operator="lt" value="2.6" />

operator="ge" value="2.4" />

This would specify that the tool should be shown for any collection of systems supporting the WBEM protocol
version 2.4 or higher, but less than 2.6.

If a tool contains more than one include filter of different types, the conditions of the filters are logically
AND'd together. A tool with both operating system and hardware dependencies could use the filter:

operator="eq" value="LINUX" />

operator="eq" value="HPVectra" />

If a tool contains more than one include filter of the same type, the conditions of the filters are logically OR'd
together. A tool available on two different operating systems could specify:

operator="eq" value="LINUX" />

operator="eq" value="HPUX" />

This tool could be launched on any collection of systems using Linux or HP-UX.

Tool filtering depends on the attributes being filtered having a value defined on the systems selected. For
the

os filter type, if any attribute being filtered on is not defined for a system, the system is assumed to have

the value required by the filter. Thus, a system with none of the

os attributes specified by a tool filter are

assumed capable of running the tool. For the

hardware filter type, the above statement is true in the case of

the

Model attribute. But for the DeviceType and DeviceSubType attributes, the tool filter will apply only for
