Normalized filed in Software installation table.

[Dharsaan-K]

HI, what is the purpose of Normalized filed in Software installation table.

Is this filed is used to denote a software installation is normalized or not by setting the value as true if it is normalized and false if it is not normalized.

Is there any job or business rule setting this value.

How it is checking a record in software installation table is normalized or not. What logic it is using.

In my instance I cannot see any record in software installation table having value as true although I can see that many of those records are normalized with it discovery model. There are zero record in software installation table having normalized field value as false. Many of those records are normalized. Could explain this in detail.
