Doing Concatenation and not addition

[Adai]

I am using cDOT Resize volume command to resize a volume by specifying a increment size and not the absolute size.

resizeVolume is my Command Variable.

In the other parameters tab, for attribute TargetSize I am having an expression as follows

resizeVolume.size_mb+$IncrementSizeInGB*1024

The above expresion is getting evalueated as string and getting concatenated and not added as integers.

So if my resizeVolume.size_mb is 1024 which is 1GB and my $IncrementSizeInGB is 50GB then the result I get in the execution plan is 

102451200 which is (1024+50*1024) 102551200

Am I missing something ? How to get this as addition and not concatenation

Here is an example of resize function ( check for the (int) when returning a result so it does not concatenate as a string ) :

def setNewVolSize(growVolume, addSize, rateOfChange) {
  if (addSize=='')
     return growVolume.size_mb;
  else
     return ((int) growVolume.size_mb) + calculateVolumeSizeFromDataSize(convertFromGB(addSize),rateOfChange);
}

Adai, I am checking to see if this is a bug. In the meanwhile you can use this expression to make sure the numbers get added instead of concatenated.

Long.valueOf(resizeVolume.size_mb)+$IncrementSizeInGB*1024

This worked for me:

($increment*1024) + (int)resizeVolume.size_mb

resizeVolume.size_mb returns a long value and it somehow gets concatenated.

Let me know if it works.

Hi WFA Team,

Is this bug fixed in WFA 3.0 GA or atleast in 3.1 RC thats coming soon ?
