What does the plus sign and the OpsStatusFilter mean in scripting?

[phantom7]

I have the following code snippet, and I would like someone who is kind enough to explain to me what it does:

javascript: 'sys_class_name!=cmdb_ci_network_adapter^sys_class_name!=cmdb_ci_spkg^operational_statusNOT IN' + new OpsStatusFilter('cmdb_ci').by('CreateChange').join()

Here is how I have interpreted it so far:

if the class name is not 'cmdb_ci_network_adapter' and the class name is not 'cmdb_ci_spkg'....

I don't understand what this part means:

operational_statusNOT IN' + new OpsStatusFilter('cmdb_ci').by('CreateChange').join()

Please be kind enough to explain to me what this part means. Thank you.

basically, If your class does not exist in the cmdb ci network adapter table and does not equal the operational status that is being filtered, it will create a new one (OpsStatusFilter) 

the plus sign means to concatenate (join to together) or for better terms .. "add to" 

I hope this helps 🙂 good luck

Additional/Related Question:

I encountered the aforementioned Dictionary Entry Override when trying to determine why some Configuration Items are not available on the Create New Change form.

Is it possible to determine if this override is an out-of-the-box configuration? And, what would be the hazard in disabling it?
