Local_Time Attribute Definitions
OverviewThe Local_Time attributes show the time and date at the agent location. For example, if you are running CandleNet Portal in London and monitoring a system in Cairo, the local Cairo time and date will be returned. These attributes are useful for action situations triggered by time, or views that correlate the local time of systems in different time zones.
Note: When making date comparisons, in order to achieve accurate results, you must use the Timestamp attribute rather than either the Local_Time or Universal_Time attribute.
DateThe date attribute is no longer valid. In the situations you created, replace the Date attribute with the Timestamp attribute.
Day_Of_MonthThe day in the month the CMS samples the data at the agent location.

Universal_Time Attribute Definitions
OverviewThe Universal_Time attributes show the time and date at the hub CMS to which the agent is connected. For example, if you are running CandleNet Portalin London and monitoring a system connect to the CMS in Cairo, the local Cairo time and date will be returned. These attributes are useful for action situations triggered by time, or views that correlate the local time of systems in different time zones.
Note: When making date comparisons, in order to achieve accurate results, you must use the Timestamp attribute rather than either the Local_Time or Universal_Time attribute.
DateThe date attribute is no longer valid. In the situations you created, replace the Date attribute with the Timestamp attribute.
Day_Of_MonthThe day in the month at the hub CMS location when the data was sampled.

StatusThe status of the member.
Valid Values
� Missing - Information about this member's status is missing.
� Created - A member in a created state is known to XCF, but cannot use XCF services. It can become an active user through the IXCJOIN macro.
� ActiveState - An active member is known to XCF and can use XCF services.
� Quiesced - A member in the quiesced state is disassociated from XCF services, but XCF still maintains a record of the member's existence. The IXCQUIES macro places a member in the quiesced state.
� Failed - A member in the failed state is one whose associated task, job step task, address space, or system terminated before the member was explicitly deactivated by invoking an XCF service. When a member is in the failed state, other members can infer that the member did not have an opportunity to clean up its own resources, and another member should take recovery action.
� MonitorRemoved - Monitoring has been removed for this member.
� SysTermination - XCF system containing member is terminating.

Severity 2High
A high-impact problem indicates significant business effect to you. The program is usable but severely limited.
Severity 3Moderate
A moderate-impact problem involves partial, non-critical functionality loss or a reasonable workaround to the problem. A “fix” may be provided in a future release.
Severity 4Low
A low-impact problem is a “how-to” or an advisory question.
