1284.0. "ALARM PROBLEM WITH FILE VERSION" by RIGI::SCHNEIDERR () Thu Jul 25 1991 10:32

Hello,

I created an alarm via a command procedure. As Alarmprocedure I call the file
MCC_COMMON:MCC_ALARMS_PAGER_ALARM.COM. With this we can send alarm Text to a
pager (with a pager you can receive messages in our hole country).

If I create my alarm rule I say:

CREATE MCC 0 ALARM RULE xxxx ,-

 PROCEDURE = " MCC_COMMON:MCC_ALARMS_PAGER_ALARM",-  and so on


But after If I do an show mcc 0 alarm rule xxxx , I see

 PROCEDURE = MCC_COMMON:MCC_ALARMS_PAGER_ALARM,5,   you see, with file version

number.

And now I wonder, do you realy want to do that or is it a bug? Because if you 
edit your Alarmprocedure during the alarm execution, the alarm failes.

no this was done as a precautionary measure, so that someone doesn't play
with your command procedure and change the expected results. This was 
actually recommended during one of our "security" reviews.

If you really need to change it, and you wrote/own it, you should have
sufficient privs to create a new version and then deleted the old, renaming
the new to the old version number (just don't do it while the file is in
use -- an alarm triggering).

1284.2o.k. it's a featureZUR01::SCHNEIDERRFri Jul 26 1991 08:527
Jill,

O.K. if you say thats a feature, it must be one. As you wrote, it is possible 
to change the alarmprocedure and as we all know security features doesn't make 
it more easy to do some things.

Thanks and regards			Roland
