Using Objectives to Improve Recognition - The SAI Teaching Wizard
Having defined a set of objectives, the SAI Teaching Wizard can make use of the objective information to choose which files to teach.
When the teaching wizard is run, all global tags are cleared.
To start the SAI Teaching Wizard:
- Select the SAI teaching Wizard option from the Recognition menu.
- Click Next to continue.
The Teaching Assistant is displayed.
Choosing an Objective to Improve
The next page of the wizard allows you to choose which of the Applied objectives should be improved.
The objectives are shown in a tree view and when an objective is selected, a summary of the objective is shown on the right.
- Select the objective.
- Click Next to continue.
Selecting an Unrecognized File
On this page, the wizard constructs a list of unrecognized files that occur on machines related to the selected objective. It suggests the file that occurs on most machines.
This page shows details of the selected file. The details are similar to those found in the Files window, as well as the number of machines on which it is found.
If the selected file is not one that you wish to teach at this time, click the Skip button or click the Next button to select the file shown for teaching. The wizard will choose the next candidate for teaching until there are no more unrecognized files to teach.
The following page is displayed if there are no more files from the selected objectives that can be taught.
You may need to manually teach the remaining unrecognized files. For more information about manually teaching a file to the User SAI, see Teaching an Unidentified Application.
Automatic Selection of a Set of Files
Because most files do not exist alone, but are installed along with a group of other files making up an application, it rarely makes sense to teach files individually.
For this reason, the teaching wizard automatically performs the following steps at this point:
- Tags the file selected for teaching.
- Tags all machines (in the objective) on which it occurs.
- Applies a machine and file filter to the Directories window.
- Tags the first directory in the Directories window (that is, the first directory that has not been excluded).
- Applies a machine and directory filter to the Files window.
- Tags all files in the Files window.
In other words, this set of steps tags all files that occur in the same directory as the selected file, because these are all files that are likely to belong to the same application.
The wizard shows a confirmation dialog box.
At this stage, you can switch back to the Analysis Workbench Files, Machines and Directories windows view to review the automatic selection.
Review each of the tagged files to ensure the selection is valid. You can untag some files, tag some more and so on, before proceeding.
- When you are satisfied with the selection of files, click the Finish button.
The New Publisher/Application/Version Setup dialog box is displayed. Here you can enter details about the application to which the tagged files belong. See The SAI Editor for more information about how to fill in these details.
