The description of routine MCC$THREAD_TEST_ALERT (Chapter 11 of SRM) says : "Once an alert is delivered to a thread, the alerted condition of the thread can never be cleared, and this function will always return a value of true." Anyway, I experienced that if the first call to MCC$THREAD_TEST_ALERT returns TRUE, the second (and the others) will return FALSE. Who's rigth : MCC or SRM ?

I don't know who is right, but what you saw is what my expectations
are. The test alert tells you if you were alerted, once you find
out that you were, it expects you to handle it. Next time you check
it tells you if you have been alerted again.
From the PM's perspective it has to work this way. The PM runs in
a single thread during the entire user session. We need to check
for new alerts, NOT if we have got one some time during the session
but if we have gotten one since the last time we checked.
If it is wrong in the SRM or system I will make sure it get's qared.
Thanks for noting the discrepancy.
