Migrated Query Produces Different Results

With the attribute 'Type' (in the attributes group 'Target') and its values 'Machine' and 'Staging Server', queries behave differently in Unicenter Software Delivery 4.0 and CA ITCM. The reason is that in version 4.0 the agent on the Local Server was of the type 'Machine', whereas in CA ITCM the agent on the domain manager is of the type 'Staging Server'.

In Unicenter Software Delivery 4.0, a query "Target.Type='Machine'" would return all agents (no Staging Servers), including the Local Server's own agent. When this query is migrated to CA ITCM, it will return only standalone agents, that is, agents that have no scalability server or domain manager on the same machine.

In Unicenter Software Delivery 4.0, a query "Target.Type='Staging Server'" would return all Staging Servers. When this query is migrated to CA ITCM, it will also return the domain manager, as its agent is considered to be a Staging Server.
