Although the parameter collection definition defines the parameters that can be collected from the software, it does not specify the corresponding software. For this reason, the parameter collection definition must be associated with the software information.
Multiple software information items can be associated for each parameter collection definition. For this reason, parameter collection definitions can be aggregated as a single item, even if there are multiple editions of the software. However, since Windows and Linux editions cannot coexist, distinct parameter collection definitions must be created in such cases.
Moreover, multiple parameter collection definitions can be associated with a single software information item. However, you cannot specify a duplicate key in the parameter list for these parameter collection definitions. Even if you associate multiple parameter collection definitions, one parameter list is collected for one software product.
