Hi,
The following problem description has been detected in using the
Alarm Manager interface to replace a background job in V1.2.
POLYCENTER v1.3: Alarm Manager interface
System is a VAX 4000-200 running VMS V5.5-2.
Problem description:
When using the Alarm Manager interface of POLYCENTER v1.3 under VMS v5.5-2,
the following happens:
1) DECnet event occurs (Circuit Down)
2) POLYCENTER displays notification of this event
3) The corresponding rule that should be activated is not activated, but
somehow kept "in memory"
4) DECnet event occurs (Circuit Up)
5) POLYCENTER displays notification of this event
6) The corresponding rule that should be activated is not activated, but
somehow kept "in memory"
7) -> When a display command is executed "some time after" these events, the
-> rules not being activated seem to fire, but with error messages.
8) The involved rules are automatically disabled by POLYCENTER.
This works fine if not the Alarm Manager interface is used. Could there be
a problem with the mailbox mechanism of the Alarm Manager ? The above
problem shows up in the below log file.

Any ideas....
Thanks for your help.
