4974.0. "Some questions on Alarms..." by HGOSPS::DENISLI () Thu Apr 29 1993 06:45

    I am a novice to DECmcc and hope I don't ask naive questions.
    
    A customer is running DECmcc EMS 2.2A and wants to know,
    
    1. How to set up an icon such that its color follows the alarm type?
    
    2. Is it possible to define alarm rules in the DECmcc startup procedure
       instead of in the Alarms FM?
    
    3. Is it possible to run an alarm process in background?
    
    Thanks and regards,
    Dennis.

    Dennis,
    
    > 1. How to set up an icon such that its color follows the alarm type?
    
    I think you are asking that if and when this alarm fires will the icon
    turn the color of the severity??
    
    If so, then you can customize the colors by selecting 
    CUSTOMIZE->MAP->SEVERITIES from the Iconic Map..then you can select
    colors.
    
    > 2. Is it possible to define alarm rules in the DECmcc startup proc...
    
    I don't understand why you would want to do this...once you create them
    from within DECmcc they are there til you delete them...you can
    extract them to a .com procedure using the extract alarms utility
    located in sys$system and keep this file as a backup in case you
    accidently delete an alarm rule.
    
    And Yes you can create a batch job to keep the alarms running in the
    background.  There is a sample .com procedure located in the
    ALARMS AND NOTIFICATION MANUAL...don't know what page...look up
    BATCH in the index...
    
    Hope this helps...
