1068.0. "Alarms/ICON problem" by SNOC02::MISNETWORK (Take a byte) Thu May 30 1991 05:55

    I was unable to find another note with this problem, so here goes.
    
    I have my domain tree setup as such ( starting with SPR which is at 
    the top ) -
    
    	SPR ---> SYDNEY ---> NETWORK 
    
    Now the domain ZKO is placed in the SPR map and also in the NETWORK
    map, all the domains are set as dynamic. When an alarm fires that
    should light up the ZKO domain, the only ZKO domain to light up is the
    one in the SPR map, the NETWORK ZKO icon remains unchanged. 
    
    I have reproduced the problem to verify the setup, and it seems to me 
    that if you have a domain icon located in two seperate maps, and there is 
    at least one map between their locations, only the ICON in the top map
    will light up. 
    
    Any ideas ?
    Cheers,
    Louis

1068.1just a guessTOOK::CALLANDERJill Callander DTN 226-5316Thu May 30 1991 15:416
Christine wrote that code, and she is out off enjoying her vacation
right now. But, my guess is that the color change code probably searchs
the map content lists to find which domain the entity is in, I bet
it searchs until it finds a match, but only one map. I'll ask christine
when she gets back, hopefully I won't forget.

I'll just forward this note to her.  She'll answer
when she returns.

1068.3more info pleaseTOOK::HAOMon Jun 03 1991 14:5712
    Hi there,
    
    I'm back, and I need some more info.  Just skimming the code quickly,
    it doesn't look like it stops after finding the first match, but does
    search the entire domain hierarchy.
    
    Could you specify what your alarm rule was?  And which domain it was
    defined in?
    
    Thanks,
    Christine
    
1068.4Here is the info.SNOC01::MISNETWORKThey call me LATTue Jun 04 1991 23:4532
    
    Thanks for the help Christine. 
    
    Below is the actual alarm rule -
    
    create mcc 0  alarms rule SNO-ZKO-DECnet-DOWN -
    expression=(change_of(node4 SNOR04 circ zko-1
    substate,none,synchronizing), -        
    at every 00:01:00),-
    procedure=disk$userdisk:[tassone.mcc]sprnet_decnet_alarms_broadcast.com;,-
    parameter="user=(tassone,engineer)",queue="MCC_ALARMS$BATCH",-
    category="SNO-ZKO-DECnet-DOWN",-
    description="SNOR04 Nashua DECnet circuit has gone down",-
    exception
    handler=disk$userdisk:[tassone.mcc]SPRNET_ALARMS_BROADCAST_EXCEPTION.
    perceived severity=critical, in domain nashua
    
    The alarm is defined/enabled in domain NASHUA. The map hierarchy is as 
    follows from the top -
    
    SPR (which contains domain NASHUA)
    .
    SYDNEY
    .
    NETWORK (which contains domain NASHUA)
    
    When the alarm fires, the NASHUA domain icon only lights up in the SPR
    map, and not in the NETWORK map.

1068.5works here; check Membertype againTOOK::HAOThu Jun 06 1991 13:3928
    Hi,
    
    I just tried the following, which is not exactly the same alarm rule as
    yours, but the same domain hierarchy setup:
    
    		TEST
    	       /    \
    	     D1     TEST1
                      \
    		     TEST2
    			\
    			D1
    
    I have an alarm rule defined in Domain D1, which fired.  Domain D1
    in both TEST and TEST2 changed color.  Are you sure that all your
    domain membertype is set to Dynamic?  In FCL, do the following
    commands:
    
    Show domain SPR member NASHUA all char
    Show domain NETWORK member NASHUA all char
    
    The Membertype attribute should be dynamic in order for both instances
    of NASHUA to change color.  Also, the domain hierarchy from SPR down to
    NETWORK has to have dynamic membertype.  As long as there's one static
    domain in the hierarchy, notification gets cut off at that level.

1068.6%BINGO-E-USER, memory dumpSNOC01::MISNETWORKThey call me LATFri Jun 07 1991 06:2512
    Bingo!!
    
    The domain NETWORK (TEST2 equivalent) in SYDNEY (TEST1 equivalent) was
    setup as static. I didn't look at this because I had previously set
    this domain up as dynamic, and had actually seen alarms up on it.
    Somewhere along the line I must have changed it to be
    static ( but what worries me is I can't remember doing that ). 
    
    Thanks for your help Christine, and sorry for the wild goose chase .
    
    Cheers,
