Error description
Asset function formulas which use two levels of function, as illustrated below cause an error when implemented. Singular function example that works as expected: (ABS(METERVAL("OUTPRESG01"))) Multiple function example that causes error: ABS(ABS(METERVAL("OUTPRESG01"))) An example implementation of MAHI formulas bound by a maximum and a minimum: MAX(MIN(METERMAXVAL("OUTPRESG01",DURATION(0,1,0,0,0,0)),SPECATTR VAL("OUTPRESG01")),0)/SPECATTRVAL("OUTPRESG01") *Adding the outer "MAX(?,0)" to the formula causes an error to be thrown. STEPS TO REPRODUCE: -Log in to maxdemo instance -Go To System Configuration | Platform Configuration | Database Configuration -More Actions | Add/Modify Formula For Attribute -In the top section click the New Row button -In the Object Name field enter "asset" and press Enter -Click ASSET -In the Attribute Name field enter "description" and press Enter -Click DESCRIPTION -In the Formula Expression field enter: ABS(ABS(METERVAL("OUTPRESG01"))) -Click OK RESULTS: System Message appears: "BMXAA9377E - The formula syntax validation failed. Ensure that the formula does not have an invalid attribute, operator, or function, or is not missing parentheses.
