IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Attribute formatting
Some attributes must be formatted for display purposes. For example, floating point numbers that specify a certain number of precision digits to be printed to the left of a decimal point. These display formatting considerations are specified in product attribute files.
When you use the krarloff rolloff program to roll off historical data into a text file, any attributes that require format specifiers as indicated in the attribute file are ignored. Only the raw number is seen in the rolled off history text file. Thus, instead of displaying 45.99% or 45.99, the number 4599 displays.
