I don't understand the quesiton. What do you mean by "User = 28261"?
Are you showing process ids?

The limit on the number of alarms is imposed by system resources.
We are still characterizing (and attempting to minimize) the use of
resources.

No. This is on the wish list, but is not available in V1.2.

Are you asking for a particular statistic? Have you looked at the
PA documentation?

Someone from the SVP group will have to tackle this one.

The only version is the first version which is also the latest version.

Let me elaborate on question #2. If one user starts MCC with the
graphical interface, and a second user starts up MCC in command line
mode and enables alarms, will the first user receive the alarms?
Or does the first user also have to enable alarms in order to receive
them?
If both users are enabled for the same alarms and some kind of action
is specified (e.g. mail or execution of a command procedure), will
two actions be triggered?

Actually, we don't use TCP in the AM at all. We use UDP, a conectionless
datagram protocol.

To elaborate...
The SNMP AM uses the SNMP protocol. The SNMP protocol runs on top of
UDP which, in turn, runs on top of IP. The SNMP AM expects some other service
to provide UDP/IP services. On VMS, UDP/IP services are usually, but not
always, provided by UCX. One could use some other vendor's TCP/IP product such
as MULTINET to provide the UDP/IP services needed by the AM. UNIX, on the other
hand, usually comes with TCP/IP services as part of it.
Also, in general, when talking about TCP/IP, the reference is not
restricted to the TCP and the IP protocols but refers to a whole suite of
protocols that include UDP and many others.

UCX is not provided with the SNMP access module. It is a separate
product which is a prerequisite for the use of the SNMP module.

| I guess we don't understand what you mean by "recieve alarms".
In the case you state, two users running DECmcc, one with alarm
rules enabled, both users can be NOTIFIED of alarm firing, but
the alarm only FIRES in one process and therfore, only one mail
message would be sent (if the MCC_ALARMS_MAIL procedure or equivilent
was being used).

On VMS you need some type of transport.
The transports we're currently testing with are:
1. UCX
2. TGV MultiNet
