I think it depends on the version of the TDP client.
We once had some older TDP clients that didn't set the 
platform properly.
Try

select platform_name as Platform, - 
client_os_level as OS_VER, - 
node_name as Node, - 
cast(cast(client_version as char(2)) || '.' - 
|| cast(client_release as char(2)) || '.' - 
|| cast(client_level as char(2)) || '.' - 
|| cast(client_sublevel as char(2)) - 
as char(15)) as "Client" - 
from nodes - 
order by platform_name, "Client", Node  

to see what clients don't return a platform.

This value is set every time a cliet makes a back-up (or maybe even when
the client connects). How to reset it: make sure you don't use one
nodename to run multiple clients.
