595.0. "looking for action example" by BACHUS::WILLEMSG (Geert Willems MCS-Belgium) Thu Feb 02 1995 16:25

    
    
    	Hi,
    
    	OpenVMS AXP V6.1, PCM V1.5 + MUP
    	Anyone has an example of an action(source of image) that has the
    	"Activate once for ALL events and EACH userdata item" or
    	"Activate once for ALL events and EACH userdata item" ?
    
    	A customer has for the moment VCS and PSW. All VCS info
    	he pumps over (via a stupid command procedure) to PSW.
    	I advised him to start with PCM. He is now looking for an
    	example (image action and not an command procedure) that pumps
    	all PCM event messages to PSW. Is there someone that has an
    	example of this ? 
    
    	Thanks in advance.
    
    	Rgds,
    
    	Geert
    BTW He knows that he must migrate to PCM, but apparently he
    	had also a third party offer which does more ore less the same.
    	So, it's important for us(DIGITAL) to help/advise the customer!

Geert,

  The documentation has an example which performs a broadcast of an event to 
  a terminal, the customer could modify that to send the message to PSW 
  instead. I think the code for this example gets installed with the product 
  (take a look in CONSOLE$EXAMPLES:)

  Which third party product does almost the same as PCM, I would be very 
  grateful for any details you may have.

Cheers,
Phil

    Geert,
    
        Also, if the customer has a software support contract, there is no
    cost to upgrade to PCM.

    Geert,
    
    my next question is why are they doing it that way? There are valid
    reasons for doing it, sometimes, but usualy it is better to get PSW
    into PCM - better event notification capabilities for one - and we have
    OSCint to integrate plus other functionality (automatic repair).

    Hi Martin,
    
    A lot of operators have a VT terminal and he likes PSW very much.
    A few Digital Consultants tried already to convince the customer, but...
    I thought you had spoken this customer at DECUS in Cannes !
    
    Rgds,

    Geert,
    
    If you mean Cannes 1994, wasn't there - so wasn't me!
    
    Who is it?
    
    maybe some of the real benefits of PCM should be pointed out - 
    
    like the ability to aknowledge an event so that everyone can see who is
    working on it, and then to clear  it so they can see who did that.
    Still, there are some ludites around.
