Use Case: Running a Query in Context of Software Delivery

Scenario:

A query is evaluated as part of a Software Delivery procedure prerequisite. The evaluation is done by the Task Manager of Software Delivery.

Pre-Condition:

A procedure with a prerequisite is used for installation on a target computer and the global area setting is turned on.

Action:

The Task Manager calls the query evaluation API, passing in the user from the Software Delivery activity object.

Post-Condition:

The query is evaluated in the same context as the user who created the job in the GUI. This means that the query returns only objects in the same area as the user who created the job. If the job was created by a background process where no user context was available then the query evaluation will return all objects as if area support was not enabled.
