Resolution

The “a.” parameter indicates when Adobe started the data, and the “.a” parameter indicates when Adobe finished the data. Note that neither of these parameters will contain a value. The “a” is the initial letter of the key for the Lifecycle Metrics and Application Context. Besides this, you may find other parameter items that you do not recognize. These represent the “start” and “end” of the thing. Note that these do not contain any values.
