4615.0. "Notification, entity doesn't change colour" by MUNICH::FERSTL () Fri Feb 26 1993 12:34

Hi,

a customer has written an access module for a global entity. 
He uses MCC Version 1.2.0.

Now he has a problem with notifications. 
When the alarmrule is fired, the domain in which the entity is registered 
changes its colour.  But the entity doesn't change its colour.

What could be the reason for this behaviour?


The alarmrule is of the following format:

CREATE DOMAIN UIC_NS:.DB RULE PRO_LOC_PRODN_DOWN -
    EXPRESSION  =  (OCCURS (PRO * PRO Local Production Down)), -
    SEVERITY    =  CRITICAL


Following a part of the definitions for the entity:

GLOBAL ENTITY PRO = 9102:
        IDENTIFIER = (Objectid),
        DYNAMIC    = FALSE,
        SYMBOL = CLASS_PRO,
   
        IDENTIFIER ATTRIBUTES
            ATTRIBUTE ObjectId = 90 : FullName
                DNS_IDENT = PRIMARY_NAME,
                ACCESS = NONSETABLE,
                DISPLAY = TRUE,
                DEFAULT = NO DEFAULT,
                SYMBOL = OBJECTID,
                CATEGORIES = (CONFIGURATION)
            END ATTRIBUTE ObjectId;
        ENDE ATTRIBUTES; (* IDENTIFIER *)
.....


And here the definition for the event:

        EVENT Pro Local Production Down = 9311 :
            DISPLAY = TRUE,
            SYMBOL = PRO_LOC_PRODN_DOWN,
        END EVENT Pro Local Production Down;


Do you have any hints for me?

I don't know exactly why but I am now involved in that problem :-)
(Certainly because I have mcc installed on my station and someone think I
know about)

However I have got some more information :

>>1) When a rule is defined for the specific entity instance e.g.
>>   R85_01$79UI no notification is received !! Neither for the entity instance
>>   or the domain.
>>
>>   When the rule is deregistered an exception notification is received
>>   which results in both the domain and entity instance icons changing colour!
>>
>>2) When a notification request is created for the domain and entity PRO *
>>   and the event PRO Local Production Up, no notification is received when
>>   the event occurs.
>>
>>The following irregularities occur:
>>
>>- the rule is defined within domain UIC_NS:.DB but the entity instance is
>>  within domain UIC_NS:.SBB why does the DB domain icon change colour and not
>>  the SBB icon as would be expected?

I have never used a different domain for the rule and the entity. Does someone
think it can explain this behaviour ?
