76.0. "is this implemented in ConsoleManager for VMS" by BACHUS::WILLEMSG () Wed May 12 1993 15:13

	Hi,

    	This note is cross-posted in the VCS notesfile entry 2014.
	I have some implementation questions about VCS 1.4.

	1) When doing VCS RECONFIGURE you get some message in the
	   default WINDOW 'VCS system has been reconfigured' .
	   To avoid receiving this messages, you delete the 
	   default event *, create other events via VCS EDIT NOTI etc...
	   Suppose, you don't want a event * but still having a
	   VCS RECONFIGURE messages in another window. For instance,
	   DCint and OSCint gave the opportunity to activate different
	   windows (OPER,SECURITY,SUPERVISOR,HARDWARE,...) Is it possible
	   to redirect the VCS RECONFIGURE message to the window SUPERVISOR ?

	2) Talking about DCint, OSCint and different windows. I know you 
	   have one WINDOW resource file per node, namely
			VCS$ENS_WINDOW_<node>.DAT
	   But is it still not possible to have multiple WINDOW 
	   resource file per node ? The reason I asked it that somebody
	   thought he heard saying that it's possible.
	   This should be very interesting when you have for instance
	   a resource file per event (OPER,SECURITY,HARDWARE,...)


	Any advise is welcome,

	Geert



PS 	I will post this note in the console manager notesfile to.
	If it's not already there, it is interested to put it on the 
	wishlist for our OSC platform.

	Yes, you can do this in Console Manager V1.0, you can even change
	the events priority if you want!

	For VCS, I think you can do this if you know the event name for the
	reconfigure event, this is a number for the VCS reserved events,
	although I dont know what it is off the top of my head.

	In Console Manager V1.0 the eventlist window creates a resource
	file on the Console Manager host system for each remote display
	a different file is used based upon server, screen and display
	name, so for instance if you display the eventlist to screen 0
	and 1 of a dual headed workstation, they both use different
	resource files, which will be different again if the eventlist
	is displayed to a second workstation.

	For VCS, you are stuck with using the resource file on the remote
	X-Windows server.

I hope this helps you.

Cheers,
Phil

    about the resource file name sfor VCS.
    
    If your windows usin different executables. I.e. you copy the WINDOW
    executable, to say STORAGE, the the resource file name does change, and
    you can have different resources for different event classes.

76.3Same resource fileOPG::PHILIPAnd through the square window...Thu May 13 1993 15:0411
Martin,

  It will use the same resource file, it is coded to do this
  we have no plans to change it for the next release.

  Why would you want to copy the action routine executables
  to a different name? just create a new action definition
  in the database which calls cm_eventlist.

Cheers,
Phil

    Apparently it's possible to do it via OSCint. (see OSC notesfile)

    Geert,
    
    you don't need OSCint to do it. All they do is actually rename the
    executables and create the actions in the ENS database for you. Believe
    me, I know - that's how we did it in DCINT before VCS V1.4
