The MetricRule string contains a formula in ASAP extension format for the metric so
that its value can be properly computed. See Format - EDL Attribute Property on
page 6-22.
Applies to: Server
Default: null
Examples
AT TranCount METRICRULE "#1";
AT TranRate METRICRULE "#1/S" FORMAT F10.2;
AT OkPercent METRICRULE "#1/(#0+#1)*C100" FORMAT F6.2
StatePair - EDL Attribute Property
StatePair Boolean
The StatePair attribute property indicates whether a user-defined attribute has a state
associated with it in the form of a data, state pair.
When the StatePair property is TRUE for a user defined attribute, this implies the
attribute must be immediately followed by another attribute whose value represents the
OEM state of the data attribute.
In the ASAP Client, attributes can be assigned a state according to the StateRule
property. Certain attributes can have a state value specifically associated with them.
When they do, the StatePair property should be TRUE for those attributes.
The ASAP Client performs state analysis of a user-defined attribute whenever the
Graph property is enabled for that attribute.
When you define an attribute, you can have the ASAP Client perform state
determination for that property by setting the Graph attribute property TRUE. The state
is assigned to the attribute using the StateRule attribute property.
When the StatePair attribute is enabled, and StateRule is UseStateGraphState or
UseStateGraphValue, the state of the attribute is derived directly from the associated
state in the data, state pair.
Notes
The Client assigns a state to each graphed attribute based on the attribute's StateRule
setting for that data attribute. For more information, see StateRule - EDL Attribute
Property on page 6-29.
When StatePair is specified for a user-defined attribute, that attribute must have its
TypeData property defined. Specifying TypeData lets ASAP determine how to treat the
user-defined attribute; for example, what type of number the attribute represents. For
more information, see TypeData - EDL Attribute Property on page 6-29.
