4046.0. "Notification Services pb?? (MCCV1.2)" by ZTOIS1::VISTA (Renato VISTA, SIS Strasbourg, France) Fri Nov 06 1992 08:36

    
    Hi
    
    I'm using DECmcc/ULTRIX/BMS V1.2 for a customer.

    To automatize some DECmcc/NOTIFICATION & ICONIC MAP functions, we use
    the ability of describing in a file the following commands :

    notify domain <domain> entity list=(node4 * circuit * adjacent node
    *), event=(adjacency down)!severity=critical
    notify domain <domain> entity list=(node4 * circuit * adjacent node
    *), event=(adjacency up)!severity=warning
    notify domain <domain> entity list=(snmp *),event=(any
    event)!severity=major

    This file is declared in the DECmcc Notification Window (Customize Menu
    & General Notification... window), where it is possible to give a file
    name opened automatically at the beginning of an Iconic Map Session.

    Note that this file can be read via "DECmcc Notification:Notify
    Requests", File menu & Include file...

    My problem is the following :

    Instead of becoming "Enabled", the requests become ERRATICALLY
    "Disabled with error", with a new window displaying "No entities in
    this domain support the requested events".

    Of course, those entities are in the domain. And, if I try to enable
    manually via Iconic Map, it WORKS... but sometimes DOESN'T want to
    work... I also note that sometimes all the same requests are enabled
    correctly...

    Is there any problem with this functionality of ICONIC MAP/NOTIFICATION
    AM ? Please note that I'm working with the version V1.2.3

    Thank you for your help.

    Regards,
    Renato

    PS : the problem exists on DECmcc/BMS V1.2 for VMS too...


    
      

Erratic behavior is almost always a bug.
You should probably file a QAR (see note 7)
