Description: The integer value of the attribute. The value of the attribute SHALL be represented as an integer if the enum

description in the JmAttributeTypeTC textual-convention definition has the tag: 'INTEGER:'.

Depending on the enum definition, this object value MAY be an integer, a counter, an index, or an enum, depending on the jmAttributeTypeIndex value. The units of this value are specified in the enum description.

For those attributes that are accumulating job consumption as the job is processed as specified in the JmAttributeTypeTC textual-convention, SHALL contain the final value after the job completes processing, i.e., this value SHALL indicate the total usage of this resource made by the job.

A monitoring application is able to copy this value to a suitable longer term storage for later processing as part of an accounting system.

Since the agent MAY add attributes representing resources to this table while the job is waiting to be processed or being processed, which can be a long time before any of the resources are actually used, the agent SHALL set the value of the jmAttributeValueAsInteger object to 0 for resources that the job has not yet consumed.

Attributes for which the concept of an integer value is meaningless, such as fileName(34), jobName, and processingMessage, do not have the 'INTEGER:' tag in the JmAttributeTypeTC definition and so an agent SHALL always return a value of '-1' to indicate 'other' for the value of the jmAttributeValueAsInteger object for these attributes.

For attributes which do have the 'INTEGER:' tag in the JmAttributeTypeTC definition, if the integer value is not (yet) known, the agent either (1) SHALL not materialize the row in the jmAttributeTable until the value is known or (2) SHALL return a '-2' to represent an 'unknown' counting integer value, a '0' to represent an 'unknown' index value, and a '2' to represent an 'unknown(2)' enum value.
