CAST Engineering Dashboard - Grades - Incorrect Value - Health Factors metric grades are equal to zero at application level but not at module level

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Purpose (problem description)

All metric grades for health factor are equal to zero at the application and the system levels but not at the module level.
The application and the system are viewed in the Quick Access page and home page
When assessing a module in the Quick Access page, we can see that the Health Factors are not equal to zero.
The problem is due to the use of a metric to define an Aggregation weight which is equal to 0. See the Module Weight Aggregation Definition Dialog Box section in the ADG Admin online help for more details.
