PM07753: MOST RECENT VALUES FOR A NEW METRIC WITH NO DATA OR SCORE DOES NOT DISPLAY 'NO DATA' AS PER DOCUMENTATION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• As per the documentation below, in Metric Studio 8.4, if you
  have a newly created metric with no values and no score, then
  the most recent values display should say 'no data' but instead,
  it displays the date.  The correct behavior can be seen in
  Metric Studio 8.3
  
  ===From User Guide===
  
  Latest Data View
  If you select the latest data, Metric Studio shows the most
  recent metric values that it can. For example, you can have some
  metric values shown as of the last quarter and some metric
  values shown for last month.
  
  The latest period is always the period for which there is a
  score. For example, you have a metric value for the last month
  and a score for the last quarter. Metric Studio shows the score,
  even though it is older, because it is more meaningful than a
  value. If no period has a score then the latest actual value is
  used. If a metric has no score or actual value, then Metric
  Studio shows the period based on the last time a score was
  successfully generated for other metrics. If the metric store
  has never had scores calculated, then Metric Studio displays No
  data.
