3508.0. "Hundreds of MCC_ALARMS_XXXX.date files" by SEDSWS::MALLOY () Wed Aug 05 1992 17:04

			MCC_ALARMS_XXXXX.DAT
    			--------------------
    
Can someone enlighten me into, why I have hundreds of Mcc_alarms_xxxxx.dat files
in my DECmcc account.

I assume DECmcc creates these files when, an alarm fires and I also  assume
that the batch job is ment to cleanup after DECmcc .

What are these files used for ???
Can I re-direct them to another directory  say mcc_temp???

3508.1check MCC_ALARMS_MAIL_ALARM.log files ...MLNCSC::BARILAROThu Aug 06 1992 13:4423
    Hi,
    
    	I hope to don't write something of obvious and you already check
        out, in every case I check my MCC configuration to find who create
    	these files and who has to delete them.
    
    	When an alarm fire a procedure (mail, broadcast or log) the 
    	command file MCC_COMMON:MCC_ALARMS_SECURITY.COM run the 
    	appropriate command file that you have chose for example:
    	MCC_ALARMS_MAIL_ALARM.COM, this command procedure open the
    	MCC_ALARMS_XXXXX.DAT, use it, but it's the MCC_ALARMS_SECURITY.COM
    	that delete it, you could see this if you check the log files.

    	So, seems that you have problem when the control has to come back
    	to the MCC_ALARMS_SECURITY.COM procedure, don't you have perhaps
    	modify some of these files?? One time happens this to me.
    
    	Sometime also happens me that the alarms batches where stopped in 
    	the middle, between the creation of the files end their deletions,
    	by a machine crash, in this case I found this files, but I
    	don't think could be you problem.
        					Hope this help,
    					Ciao Luciano

    Thanks
    
    
    	I thought I had checked the log files for mcc_alarm.
   ( edit  search  mcc_alarm).
    	 I will check again. 
    
    	Yes . I have used the  MCC_ALARMS_MAIL_ALARM.com as a template
    for over command files.
