On VMS systems, once a rule is enabled, it is enabled on the entire node as
long as the enabling DECmcc process is running. There is no need for individual
users to enable the same alarm rule in there instance of DECmcc.
That's written in "Alarms and Notification Services Use" Page 5-26 .
My customer need this function. He enables a rule from a user and then
he logs in to another user, but in the second user the rule is still disabled.
Even if he does a spawn he sees the rule disabled.
He runs DECmcc V1.3 .
Any idea ??

| 5911.1 | It's already ENABLED. You just can't see it. | MSDOA::REED | John Reed @CBO, DTN:367-6463, KB4FFE, SouthEast | Wed Mar 16 1994 13:40 | 18 |
(The rule is really running. Only one RULE exists for a given rule
name in a domain. If ANY process enables that rule, it will run. The
others users see copy of the rule in their database too, but if THEY
didn't specifically enable the rule, they will see the rule as DISABLED.
But the rule is really ENABLED, if ANY PROCESS on the machine has
enabled it. You can verify this, by enabling notification on your
process, and you will see the rules fire, and the alarms will come to
your notification window, even though, (to your process) the alarm rule
appears to be disabled.
In MY personal preference, I would prefer the rule status to show up on
ANY PROCESS screen as being "ENABLED by Process 000xxxx" to all
users. So you can tell if a specific rule is ENABLED on the node.
But I don't know if there is really a way to get this data without
rewriting, and that seems unlikely, with PolyNetview coming along.

| 5911.2 | Use DETmcc! | STKHLM::BERGGREN | Nils Berggren, DC Sweden. 876-8287 | Tue Mar 22 1994 06:15 | 10 |
At almost all customer sites (if not all) in Sweden we use DETmcc
(DETached MCC) for the alarm-rule handling.
Only one process on the system runs the alarm-rules, but all users
wanting notifications for alarms gets it.
Then you can implement Launched Applications to ENABLE/DISABLE/SHOW
STATUS on alarm-rules run by DETmcc.
