253.0. "Dispatches order within a Filter ?" by ULYSSE::BAUDELLE () Thu Apr 28 1994 14:28

	Is there any way to order the dispatches execution within
	a Filter ?
	It's displayed/executed in Alphabetical order or did i
	forget to specify something ?

	Thank's

    Pierre,
    
       No I don't think you can specify the dispatch order. However, it
    seems like the behavior should be the order in which they were entered.
    If this is an important issue for you, we can do something about it in
    the next release. We're taking functional requirements at the moment.
    
    The work-around that comes to mind is to have just 1 dispatch which in
    turn would fire off your additional dispatches in the order you want.
    
    Cheers,
    
        Dave
    
       
253.2Alphabetical order ==> Display order ==> execution order ?ULYSSE::BAUDELLEThu Apr 28 1994 16:0715
	Dave ,

	Having tried to re-enter the dispatches in the filter it
	has been displayed in the alphabetical ordered (even if B** 
	dispatch was defined before A**). This order was the
	execution one as well (found in the Console_notify_output.log , 
	with the debug flag setted) 

	Yes , it would be nice to have the dispatch ordering
	capability in a coming release.

	Thank's for your help

253.3Why??OPG::SIMONThu Apr 28 1994 16:317
Pierre,
       I am trying to understand the reason for you needing this. Once the
match has occured the actions are posted one after the other and there is little
time in between posting (especially on Unix where we just system the action or
post to the correct listener.

Cheers Simon...
253.4I didn't know how actions are executed....ULYSSE::BAUDELLEThu Apr 28 1994 18:2415
	Simon ,

	Some actions like system-census Feed , Mcc event send ...
	are being written and for some events we want to have the
	notification to Mcc (netview) be done quickly and then the remote
	api for remote database update be ran.(on Ultrix and Vms)
	If you tell me that all the Actions are sent nearly at the 
	same time my request is useless...

	Thank's

    Pierre,
    
        the dispatches are all activated within milliseconds of each other.
    In other words, they are all active at the same time.
