When there are more than one configured extended PEM attribute, you can clear the required Log Attribute check boxes for attributes whose values are not to be logged. The DataType, Use Input Source, and Input Source or Initial Value boxes are enabled only when the Log Attribute check box is selected.

DataType

The data type for the extended attribute:

• Boolean (the default)

• Double

• Float

• Integer

• String

• Time

• ElapsedTime

  You cannot change the data type of an extended PEM attribute after the OCO object is deployed.

  Input Source or Initial Value

  A value for the attribute or, if the Use Input Source check box is selected, a reference that will be the source for the attribute value.

  The value of the specified attribute is retrieved at run time. By default, the input value is False.
