Description
This function goes through catch point history of auto-discovered data for the asset that is assigned to the authorization under test, considering a given period of time in the past, and returns either the minimum or maximum value of the requested column.
Processing Notes
This function goes through the following steps to derive the required answer:
•A check is made on the parameters sent and to make sure those parameters yield an actual column name to search and an actual asset number to check.
•The catch point history (both live and archive) is then checked for all catch points that have their roles set as Auto-discovery over the period of time defined by the days in the past parameter.
•If any records are found, the MIN or MAX value (as specified) is returned.
•Note that there must be at least one catch point that is sourcing to the staging table whose role has been defined as "Autodiscovery". This is set in the catch point definition record.
