APAR status
Closed as documentation error.
Error description
Documentation for Impact interfaces needs updating. Impact provides several APIs that can be used in custom policies : http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v8r1/index.jsp ?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.netcoolimpact.doc6.1%2Fcommon%2Fdita%2Ffunctio ns_c.html When using these APIs, the parameters passed in as arguments need to always be variables, not arithmetic or derived. For example : AddDataItem("Ratemon_DT_Instance", NewInst- 4); fails, but : NewInst=NewInst-4; AddDataItem("Ratemon_DT_Instance", NewInst); is successful. Thsi restriction applies to all the Impact 5.1.1 and 6.1 APIs
Local fix
Only pass variables nto Impact APIs
