4339.0. "Alarm Manager FT input" by GOSTE::CALLANDER () Wed Jan 06 1993 09:28

    Please place feedback on the IFT3 (December) release of the alarm
    manager as responses to this note.
    
    We are currently planning on an update release to be available when
    the DECmcc field test update occurs.  This means code freeze is
    quickly approaching so feedback is greatly appreciated.
    
    Please state in your note if you are using the VMS or ultrix version.

4339.1Rule names are undesirableONTIME::BUGSBY::COBBWriting from ALPHA AXPWed Jan 06 1993 10:1512
    When you do a CREATE/ENABLE from the ALM manager, it creates a rule on 
    the selected entity, but with an ugly name like:
    
    	alm_mgrnode4TESTnode4status_5_JAN_1993_16_03
    
    I would like the option to change the name of the rule that gets
    created.  Prefixing them with alm_mgr is ok, but put spaces between
    the different pieces of information.  Can we already pick the name of
    the resulting rule?

4339.2fixed in next releaseGOSTE::CALLANDERWed Jan 06 1993 11:468
    
    this has been fixed, in the next release we will pop up a dialog
    box when you hit the create or enable.  This will show you the default
    name (we no longer prefix with alm_mgr_) and allow you to modify
    it, as well as providing you the option of canceling the create.
    
    hope this helps.
    
4339.3Some Accvios ...SUBURB::SMYTHIIan Smyth 830-3869Wed Feb 03 1993 12:0363
Alarm Manager currently takes the prize for the most accvios/day. Here's
a couple of examples - (from VMS 5.5-2, MCC T1.3.1)

%SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=00, virtual address=00000010, PC

        PSL= 03C00000


	The above happened when I tried to create a template.

	The next happened when I tried to create a rule (based on a template
I had created earlier) for a translan line. It crashed when I tried to expand
the LINE... icon.

4339.4fixed, I hope.GOSTE::CALLANDERThu Feb 04 1993 09:1213
    thanks for the input Ian, I believe that these have already been
    fixed.  As you have seen there were a number of functions that given
    the right circumstances could cause accvios on VMS.  The ones you
    have seen are due to an uninitialized variable that when you do
    a create template fore ever creating a rule you accvio.  the other
    one I believe has to do with the handling of instance less entities,
    but I am not familiar with the translan model.  If possible I would
    like the opportunity to give you a new .exe to try out and see if
    it corrects the problems you are seeing. Is this feasible?
    
    thanks

	I'd be happy to try out the new .EXE. Tell me 
where to find it and I'll copy it over.

	Do you know how to clean up the template database after such problems?
I also get a accvio while deleting a template. If I look at the registered
templates, template7 and template8 appear a "No such entity" 

ie

4339.6thanks, I will send pointerGOSTE::CALLANDERThu Feb 04 1993 12:0812
    Al your database is probably corrupt. The fastest way out of this
    is to delete the files and reload the templates we supply (if you
    want them) from the mcc_system:alm_mgr_templates.com file we
    supply.
    
    I also have a new version of alm_mgr_templates.com with a significant
    number of new templates. I will send you a pointer to this new stuff;
    give it a whirl and let me know.
    
    thanks
