1370.0. "Alarms - map doesn't change colour" by GOONS::CHAPMAN () Wed Aug 21 1991 15:30

    Several alarm rules have been created, all of which are firing and
    successfully delivering mail messages but the map will not change
    colour. Notification is definitely enabled. I am currently delivering a
    DECmcc course and other students have it working but not this one. What
    do I check for here?
    
    Thanks

1370.1probably not in a domainTOOK::CALLANDERJill Callander DTN 226-5316Mon Aug 26 1991 16:5520
    It is probably too late for your class (sorry I missed your note
    earlier -- I am still catching up).
    
    What to check. Okay if the rules are firing, and they we created
    using the domain rule interface, or with a create mcc 0 alarm rule
    xxx, in domain yyy; then they should work.
    
    The most common problem is people create the rules without the
    in domain qualifier. check this by doing a show command.
    
    1) they must be created with either the in domain qualifier,
       or through the domain rule interface (create domain xxx rule yyy;
       which is how the iconic map does it).
    
    2) the domain must be open on the map with notification enabled
       (opening the parent of a map hierarchy that is dynamic is
       sufficient).
    
    
    
1370.2Further cluesGOONS::CHAPMANTue Sep 17 1991 11:3213
    Thanks for reply.
    
    Since the course has finished and the system has been blown away I
    can't recreate the problem or checkout your comments. The rules were
    created using Iconic Map. 
    Further investigation revealed the following:-
    
    the student in question had a 4-level domain hierarchy within Iconic
    Map. If he went in at the top level and double clicked his way down to
    the domain in question, alarm notification did not work. If he went in
    at the top level and then selected "Open Domain" to go directly to the
    domain, alarm notification DID work. Does this provide any further clue
    as to the problem?
1370.3sounds exactly like it's staticTOOK::HAOWed Sep 18 1991 14:0910
    Sounds like the domain is a static member of its parent domain. If
    Domain A contains Domain B, and you're interested in Domain B alarms,
    then you must do either one of the following:
    
    1)  Open Domain B as the top-level domain
    2)  Add Domain B as a dynamic member of its parents (all the way up 
    	to the top-level domain).
