736.0. "Event->filter->action problem" by STKAI1::MALM (My God! It's full of stars...) Mon May 15 1995 16:23

Hi!

I've a strange problem. I've found similar problems in the conference but not
quite...

The problem was first seen at a customer site and I'm able to reproduc it on my
own system.

Running PCM v1.5 + MUP-A and ECO 1.


I'm configuring the customer system so that when a "username" prompt appears,
an event will trigger an action routine that runs a dialog script that loggs in
to the target system (non Digital OS).

When the "username" prompt appears, the event will trigger the action but as
soon as the dialog script is run (or I enter commands manually) a new event is
triggered at every key stroke (to be honest, many events are triggered for each
key stroke). It seems to be a new event for every previous plus the new event.

I'm almost shure that I've configured the thing right but I'm not 100%.

The customer is a very important one and the case might lead to more PCM
licences sold.

Can anybody tell me if I've done something wrong or if there's a bug or two...

An extract of the configuration follows. This is the test, where the action is
to send a reply, and there are several replies to each event.

Stefan,
       you only put part of the config file in here. Rather than put it all in
the notes file mail it to me on:

                elbrig::sdj

Also send the dialog script if you would and I shall take a peek at it.

Cheers Simon...

    
    I installed PCM 1.6 FT and imported the configuration.
    Heureka! Now it works!
    
    When will 1.6 be released to customer? Does anybody know?
    
    
    regards
    
    Staffan

Staffan,

  1.6 will be released as soon as it is ready, we are working as hard as 
  we can, but the more testing it gets, the sooner we fix the bugs and so 
  the sooner we will release it.

Cheers,
Phil
