AA Outputs

AA produces the following outputs:

Last Unit Calculated - The number of license units required for the authorization being evaluated.

Last Analyzed - The date the authorization was last analyzed.

Last Confidence Value - The confidence value from the last time the authorization was analyzed.  The confidence value for a rule begins with a value of 100 and can be reduced by RDs that either raise a False or Else return.  The confidence adjustment is configured in the RD and might range from a 10 for a minor error or omission to a full 100 for a critical error or data omission.  An example of a critical error might be a missing count for the number of processors when evaluating a processor based software license.  The values are arbitrary and can be fine tuned for the RD to suit the unique customer needs.

Last Errors - Any errors encountered when the authorization was last analyzed.  These errors can range from missing input values, missing or invalid configuration in RD parameters, to runtime errors.

Last Results - The record of the RDs that were processed when the authorization was last processed.  These summary notes show the decision path that was followed displaying:

1.RD - The RD number

2.Result - True, False, or Else

3.Return - A value that varies depending on the AA Function that is processed by the RD.

1.Comments - This is the 'comment' that is configured for the RD.  These comments form the narrative for how the rule has been processed.

Last Thread Log -  This is a comprehensive history saved when the authorization was last processed.  This shows every detailed step that was taken during the processing of a rule.

Outputs are stored directly in the authorization record that was tested and can be found on the MIE under Current Authorizations (find and edit the authorization record to see the results of the last AA run)
