APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If a situation is created using multiple attributes from
  different attribute groups, and the attributes for each table
  are not ordered together, the situation may not fire.
  

Local fix

• When selecting the attributes for your situation, select all the
  attributes you intend to use for a single attribute group before
  moving to the next group.
  

Problem summary

• If a situation is created using fields from different tables and
  those fields are separated (ie: table1:field1  table2:field1
  table1:field2 table2:field2) as they are entered, there is a
  possibility that the situation may not fire when it should.
  

Problem conclusion

• The way the predicate is created upon situation entry typically
  leaves fields in the order in which they are entered in the
  graphical user interface screen.  Because of the way the fields
  are passed to the monitoring server, sometimes splitting fields
  of the same table causes problems with the situation processing.
  We have added logic to sort fields from the same table so that
  the fields will be together before creating the predicate to
  send to the monitoring.
