Intervals

You can specify an interval instead of a single value when you use action mode Verify. If you specify an interval, Tosca Cloud verifies if a value is within the specified range.

Before you specify an interval, note the following:

• You can only specify an interval for data types Numeric or String.

• To validate a property with intervals, you can only use the operators == or !=.

You can specify simple and custom intervals.

Simple interval

To specify an interval with equal upper and lower boundaries, use the following syntax:

Syntax:

{INTERVAL[<Base>][<Limit>]}

The verification is successful if the value is within the range <Base> − <Limit> and <Base> + <Limit>.

Custom interval

To specify an interval with unique upper and lower boundaries, use the following syntax:

Syntax:

{INTERVAL[<Base>][<LowerBoundary>][<UpperBoundary>]}

The verification is successful if the value is within the range <Base> − <LowerBoundary> and <Base> + <UpperBoundary>.
