Transaction Configuration Center - AFP Calibration - Application Functional Size - Incorrect Results - Calibrated function points are not strictly positive

This page handle the case of unexpected Value of calibrated function points like negative values or null values:

Figure 1

Figure 2

Step by Step scenario

1. Run a full snapshot
2. Calibrate function points
3. Compute application function points
4. Observe the issue

1. Check if the license key is an EFP , for this run the following query on the management base - SQL Queries - CAST Management Base - How to get CAST AIP license key. If the returned row do not contain the keyword EFP then the normal behavior is to get a zero value for the calibrated FP, else go to the next step

2. Check if you are doing a custom calibration, for this run the following queries on your Knowledge base :

   1. SQL Queries - CAST Knowledge Base - Queries on Transactions - How to check if there is custom function point on Transactions

   2. SQL Queries - CAST Knowledge Base - Queries on Data Function - How to check if there is custom function point on Data Functions

3. If there is customization then reset the FP values by running the following queries on the Knowledge base then do calibrate them from TCC GUI and compute the application Function point:

   1. SQL Queries - CAST Knowledge Base - Queries on Transactions - How to remove custom function point on Transactions

   2. SQL Queries - CAST Knowledge Base - Queries on Data Function - How to remove custom function point on Data Functions

4. Else If there is no customization, then maybe the application Function point was computed using the CLI (TCC - Use the Command Line Interface (CLI)), then add the option "RunSnapshotPreparation YES" to the command line, else the results will be null. The complete command line should be as follows:

   CAST-TransactionConfig.exe -HideGUI -ConnectProfile "%connection_profile_name%" -SaveCalibrationChanges YES -RunSnapshotPreparation YES -ComputeAppliFP %fullApplicationName%

   an alternative solution will be to run snapshot by skipping analysis.

   If this is not the case or the solution do not resolve the issue then go to the next step

5. If the above steps do not solve the issue then contact CAST Technical Support. with the following Relevant input
