Title
User Defined Collection configuration is saving incorrect datatypes -
Description
When creating a user defined collection that returns either integer and/or datetime data, when saving these collections the integer datatype is changed to double, and the datetime data types are changed to strings. -
Cause
In the FMS there are two native data types to persist changing data: Metric and StringObservation, and the cartridge generally uses Metric to persist number values and StringObservation to persist String like values.In the case of "User Defined Collection", the cartridge uses the FMS Metric to persist a number like value, and uses StringObservation to persist Date value (Date convert to String). The configuration is saved in Secondary ASP:
When saved, the UDC configuration once clicked again to display its details, directly displays the "StringObservation". -
Resolution
WORKAROUNDNone. There does not appear to be an issue.STATUSAn enhancement request FOGGENERAL-I-108 has been opened to enhance/align the display wording of the User Defined Collection configuration panel. -
