2508.0. "event alarm notification problem" by IJSAPL::ZWAMA () Fri Mar 06 1992 10:06

Hi,

I am developping an AM for a Radio Control application and noticed this.
The ALARM FM  don't display the event TEXT in the DECmcc Notification Detail 
Window display field <Problem Text>. I use an alarm occure rule for detecting
the events. The events are routed via my AM, which has support of the GETEVENT 
directive.
For the Node4 AM this field is filled with the Event text. How can i also
have this text in this place. 
My AM supports the GETEVENT directive
as follows;


EVENT PARTITION CONFIGURATION EVENTS = 15 :
      (* This partition includes events wihich report the state 
         transitions of an enttiy *)

   EVENT  Message Buffer Full = 420 :
      DISPLAY = TRUE,
      SYMBOL = ATTR_RCCS_M_B_F,
      TEXT = " Queued message buffer is full",
   END EVENT  Message Buffer Full ;

etc....

DIRECTIVE GetEvent = 65 :
      DIRECTIVE-TYPE = EVENT,
      DISPLAY = TRUE,
      SYMBOL = GETEVENT_DIRECTIVE,
      CATEGORIES = ( ALL ),
   (*  *)
      REQUEST
       ARGUMENT Which Events = 01 : EventIdList
         ECHO = TRUE,
         DISPLAY = TRUE,
         REQUIRED = TRUE,
         DEFAULT = NO DEFAULT,
         SYMBOL = ATTR_Eq_Which_Events
       END ARGUMENT Which Events;
      END REQUEST;

      RESPONSE Event Received = 01 :
       SYMBOL = EVENT_RECEIVED,
       TEXT = "Received RCCS Event: ",
       ARGUMENT This One = 01 : EVENT_REPORT
         DISPLAY = TRUE,
         SYMBOL = ATTR_EQ_EVENT_RECEIVED
       END ARGUMENT This One;
      END RESPONSE Event Received;
 
etc...
DECmcc software version is V1.2ft, and i've based my getevent support on
the 'PONG' sample.

Question two:

For the event partition name and code can i use above settings. I didn't 
really understand the background of these. May I choose Notification partition
settings, or must i define an own partition name and code.

regards,

Wim Zwama

  Wim Zwama,

  Could you provide us with the output that you are seeing?  From your
  getevnet directive, and from Notification Services and the Alarm Rule ?

  thanks,

Hi Keith,

Sorry for the delay, I was on the customer site;
Here are the lists of the results of GETEVENT directives,
which functions normal when I do it via the FCL interface;

2508.3Could you show the output from Alarms too ?NANOVX::ROBERTSKeith Roberts - DECmcc Toolkit TeamThu Mar 12 1992 10:4318
  Wim,

  Could you write an Alarm Rule on your Event ... and enable Notification
  which will display the Event generated by Alarms:

	MCC> notify domain <domain-name>
	MCC> create domain <domain-name> rule rccs-rule-1 -
	     expr=(occurs(rccs * any event))
	MCC> create domain <domain-name> rule rccs-rule-2 -
	     expr=(OCCURS(rccs * modem_address * any event))

  Be sure to create a domain first, and replace <domain-name> above
  with name of the domain which you have created:

	MCC> create domain <domain-name>

  Then post the results here ... thanks  /keith

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------

  You should be seeing 3 'information' records:

    o The getevent Entity & timestamp information   .. Present
    o The Event Arguments                           .. Missing
    o The Rule Expression                           .. Present

  I am not sure why the Event Arguments Information Record is missing.
  Certainly, the Event Report you are returning is not long enough to
  cause a buffer size problem.

  Which version of DECmcc are you running?  I did not work on the Event
  Arguments, so I'm at a bit of a loss with what exactly worked in which
  release.

  If you are not already running DECmcc Baselevel x1.2.15, I suggest that
  you copy and install it.  The location of the kit can be found in one of
  the 'announcement' notes in the conference.

  Please keep us posted --

Hi,

In the FCL output everything seems ok now, but when I use standard alarm
parsing command scriptroutine with P1 to P8 and saving (by copying the file 
pointed by the p8 parameter) the data file there is nothing in it about 
orginally event message! In the manual (Alarms and Notification Service Use)
there is phrase that eventually event data is also stored in this file.
How does it works?

regards 
Wim
