In testing T1.2.7 on a VMS V5.5 system and talking with another collegue regarding DECmcc as it compares to DCM.....an interesting point came up. Can someone tell me if I am simply missing it and it exists or is it not there and if not will it be and when? The it, is the ability to setup an exceptions or command procedure to execute when a notification event fires similarly to that of Alarms? I've not had much experience with DCM, but apparently the way the customer is using it, they take advantage of the ability to send a message to DECtalk or automatically page someone if an event occurs. This would be very nice feature......any plans? Al

You'll need to either use the OCCURS rule format (created esp. for
events) or write your own application that 'listens' for specific
events and does whatever things you need it to (not very difficult,
since you could just use 'callable mcc' but harder than writing
rules...)

Thanks very much.. I'll have to re-read the rules documentation....wasn't aware that the OCCURS format was for notification events. Al | |||||
