A simple question ... how or where is the information stored that
indicates what alarms are enabled or disabled?
In the alarms manual it states that alarms can be enabled or
disabled within the context of each DECmcc instance. This implies
that the information is stored locally to each process.
However, the manual also states that on VMS, once a rule is enabled,
it is enabled on the entire node as long as the enabling DECmcc process
is running. The manual goes on to show you how to enable rules in a
batch job.
How does enabling rules in a batch job make a connection with a
DECmcc session that I open?
Thanks for any info.
Chris

RE: .0 Chris, > A simple question ... how or where is the information stored that > indicates what alarms are enabled or disabled? The Rule 'Status and Counter' information is stored in-memory for the process which has enabled the Rules. If you enable the Rules interactively this information is in the process which is running the FCL or Iconic Map interface -- and private to those processes. That is, only from the process which has enabled a rule, can you view the Status & Counter information, and disable the rule. If you enable the Rules in batch (via the FCL interface), the information is private to the batch job. You will not be able to disable the rule or view the Status & Counter Attributes. You can, of course, stop the batch job which will stop all the rules. > How does enabling rules in a batch job make a connection with a > DECmcc session that I open? When the Rules in the Batch job declare events .. o Rule Fired o Rule Exception The events are sent to a 'pool' which may be accessed by *any* process on the system. This is how the Notification FM/PM (Iconic Map) can 'see' when a rule has fired, and change the icon color. Does this help ? /keith | |||||

It helps a lot. One more question. What is the "pool"? Is it
global pages in memory or some other mechanism?
Thanks.
