Evidence Element

You can specify evidence for every rule. You can select one or more data cells to use in the evidence list. You cannot use scan routine data cells as evidence. When the rule fires (all rule conditions are true and the occurrence threshold is met), the Performance Manager saves the current values for all data cells listed as evidence.

The format for an evidence element is as follows:

EVIDENCE = evidence_value [evidence_value...];

Evidence value is a data cell that is not a scan routine:

data_cell [(index_specifier[(index_specifier)])]

The evidence element ends with a semicolon (;). When a rule fires, an entry is made in the Analysis Report.
