    ========================================================
    
    Is there a problem with the ALARMS module, or can I ignore the error
    message since the IVP seems to have work correctly.
    
    Thanks

  Timo:

    The fact that the Alarms IVP worked correctly means that the module was
    installed and enrolled correctly into the MCC system.  The IVP doesn't
    try to CREATE/DELETE any alarm rules, but the BMS startup command proc-
    edure does to establish the rule repository files:

      MCC_COMMON:MCC_ALARMS_ATTRIBUTE_MIR.DAT
      MCC_COMMON:MCC_ALARMS_INSTANCE_MIR.DAT

    Between EFT and EFT update there was a change made to the format of these 
    MIR files that would cause the problems you are seeing.  Did you have the
    EFT kit (T1.0.0) installed?  Did you delete all MCC files between before
    installing the T1.0.1 kit?  

    If the answers to these two questions are YES and NO respectively then
    I think the new format is causing the problem.  

    Did you have many rules created?  The release notes state that before 
    installing EFT Update you should run the Extract Rule Utility to extract
    your alarm rules to a MCC command file.  Then you can delete the MCC files,
    install T1.0.1 and re-run this command file to re-establish your rules.

    If you didn't you probably lost your rules.  If you had many and this 
    causes a large inconvience, call me @DTN:226-5385 (508-486-5385) and we'll
    try to help you out.
    
    BTW, this new format was a one time only conversion.  Hopefully, there
    will be no need for this kind of change in the future.

    Hope this helps, let me know if it doesn't...

    The answers to above questions are NO , NO.
    
    I was installing MCCBMSUT011.* on a virgin system (no MCC, TK or
    whatsoever installed).
    
    Afterwards I installed MCCTKUT011.*
    
    When running the DIR,BMS and TK IVP's at the end, everything seems ok.
    
    Does this mean that I can savely continue to install MCCBMS2X011?
    
    Thanks

254.3keep goingGOSTE::CALLANDERFri Aug 17 1990 22:287
    I would suggest that you continue. It is possible that other factors
    were involved in your failure (like those found by T. Zigler, which
    were due to symbols which caused his commands to be expanded into
    illegal commands, and therefore his startup to fail).
    
    Keep going and let's see what happens.
