PLA_S_PROPERTY_IGNORED
Performance Logs and Alerts ignored a property
PLA_S_PROPERTY_IGNORED is HRESULT 3145984 (0x00300100) from winerror.h. AllStat describes it as “Property value will be ignored.” In the Windows platform service that returned an informational HRESULT, the value reports a nonfailure state that must not be collapsed into plain S_OK.
A cleared severity bit does not make the return equivalent to ordinary completion; the postcondition remains specific.
What must be true before accepting it
Verify that the ignored property is known and its absence does not invalidate the collector-set behavior required by the caller. That proof prevents usable partial state from being confused with full completion.
Also confirm that returned outputs belong to the current operation generation and were not inherited from an earlier attempt.
Where the status is encountered
- Certificate provisioning, app activation, performance data collection, NDIS, or troubleshooting; capture the exact API, object, and phase because the same numeric success severity does not define the state by itself.
- System management code that must preserve a nonfailure result;
- Automation that would otherwise collapse the HRESULT to a Boolean;
Keep this result attached to the operation that returned it. Interpreting it outside that API contract can turn a normal continuation or partial result into an incorrect retry or false completion.
Correct handling and recovery
Read back effective configuration, notify the operator about the ignored field, and fail the higher-level operation when that field was mandatory.
Do not use an unchanged tight retry loop for it; it can duplicate effects or conceal a terminal state.
Practical scenario
A collector template includes a property unsupported by the target data collector. Import succeeds, but validation flags the omitted behavior.
Difference from nearby results
A successful property assignment applies the value; this status says the object continued without using it.
The neighboring result changes whether output is final, more work remains, or fallback is required.
