To get a human readable string for a QualifierInfo object use ARServerUser.formatQualification();
>From the JavaDocs for the method: String<eclipse-javadoc:%E2%98%82=api/src%3Ccom.bmc.arsys.api%7BARServerUser.java%E2%98%83ARServerUser%7EformatQualification%7EQString;%7EQObject;%E2%98%82String>com.bmc.arsys.api.
