I am using ELM_AM V1.0 and DECmcc V1.1 and have noticed a slight
problem. I have submitted a BATCH_ENABLE_RULES.COM and then started
DECmcc ICONIC MAP PM to watch for alarms firing on bridges. There are
124 Bridge Alarm Rules in this procedure.
Just to be sure everything is OK, I select FILE-->VIEW-->RULE from the
pulldown menu. I select a rule and SHOW STATUS. The status on all of
my rules is "Disabled"; however, when I get back to the map, I notice
that the alarms are firing as the error conditions are detected.
Everything works well, and I have noticed some interesting trends on
our network, but I believe this is a bug in the ELM_AM.
Comments?

| 1533.1 | not a bug in the ELM_AM | BSYBEE::EGOLF | John C. Egolf LKG2-2/T02 x226-7874 | Fri Sep 20 1991 10:54 | 14 |
Its not a bug in the ELM_AM, its a "bug" in the DECmcc system. Unfortunately, you can ONLY get the actual (true) Alarm Status from the process in which it was enabled. The current state isn't stored in the MIR, its stored in the process (memory). If you happen to have a workstation, I'd suggest setting a window aside to execute the BATCH_ENABLE_RULES.COM instead of using batch. You then could use that window to check on alarm status. When not in use, make it an icon. Yes, we plan to fix this problem. JCE | |||||

John,

| 1533.3 | we are working on an answer to when? | TOOK::CALLANDER | MCC = My Constant Companion | Thu Oct 17 1991 19:39 | 5 |
The question requires a "good" answer but at this point in time, without a reasonable amount of time to design it correctly we could potentially make the situation worse. As soon as we go to field test more investigation into this areas will be done. Until then an answer really ins't possible. We would all love it yesterday. | |||||
