Setting the SourceComputer Property in MOM Performance Data Scripts (307321)

WORKAROUND

In the following script, the SourceComputer property is set last, and this causes the CounterName property to be overwritten with the computer name (strSrcComputer).

Sub CreatePerformanceData(ByVal strObjectName,   _
                          ByVal strCounterName,  _
                          ByVal strInstanceName, _
                          ByVal dblSampleValue,  _
                          strSrcComputer) 
   Dim oPerfData 
   Set oPerfData = ScriptContext.CreatePerfData
   oPerfData.ObjectName   = strObjectName
   oPerfData.CounterName  = strCounterName
   oPerfData.InstanceName = strInstanceName
   oPerfData.Value        = dblSampleValue
   If strSrcComputer <> "" Then
     oPerfData.SourceComputer = strSrcComputer
   End If
   ScriptContext.Submit(oPerfData)
   Set oPerfData = Nothing
End Sub
				

To prevent this problem, modify the preceding script to set the SourceComputer property first:

Sub CreatePerformanceData2(ByVal strObjectName,   _
                           ByVal strCounterName,  _
                           ByVal strInstanceName, _
                           ByVal dblSampleValue,  _
                           strSrcComputer)
   Dim oPerfData 
   Set oPerfData = ScriptContext.CreatePerfData
   If strSrcComputer <> "" Then
     oPerfData.SourceComputer = strSrcComputer
   End If
   oPerfData.ObjectName   = strObjectName
   oPerfData.CounterName  = strCounterName
   oPerfData.InstanceName = strInstanceName
   oPerfData.Value        = dblSampleValue
   ScriptContext.Submit(oPerfData)
   Set oPerfData = Nothing
End Sub
