5540.0. "Alarms repository environment variable" by EVTIS9::ROGGEBAND (While my guitar gently weeps) Thu Aug 26 1993 13:19

    Hello,
    
    Is there an environmenent variable which allows me to specify where my
    alarms MIR files will be located (mcc_alarms_attributes_mir etc... I
    believe there are four of them) ?
    
    Context : PNM200 1.3 on Ultrix.
    
    Thank you, Amicalement,
    
    Philippe.

Have you tried MCC_ALARMS_LOCATION?
I just looked in mcc_login.csh and found it there.

    Erik,
    
    Yes,we tried it at the customer site but it doesn't seem to do much. Is
    this a bug or a feature?
    
    Regards,
    
    Philippe.

I'm afraid that use of this variable at a customer site is a bug,
since these are intended for developer use and are not documented
for end users.

My recollection is that when you try to move a repository, you have
to also delete /var/mcc/mcc_mir_repo_table.*, since that has pointers
to all the other repositories.  It will be re-created the first time
it is used.  I would strongly recommend that you try this yourself
before experimenting at the customer site.

Also remember that you must stop the alarms FM process before defining
the environmental variable.
