    DECMCC BMS 1.2.7
    
    Yesterday I installed BMS 1.2.7 on my system. I created a simple rule
    to test the wildcard substitution: 
    
    
    CREATE MCC 0 ALARMS RULE ADJACENCY_DOWN         -                           
    EXPRESSION         =  (OCCURS(NODE4 router CIRCUIT * ADJACENT NODE *  -
                              ADJACENCY DOWN))                           ,-
      CATEGORY           =  "circuit_events"                             ,-
      PERCEIVED SEVERITY =  Critical 					 ,-
      in domain .domain.test
    
    
    
     everthing worked fine. The router changed the colour. After that I
     redirected the output to the desired Icon via the "Assign Target"
    window. On an other window I could see the incomong events, but no alarm
    fired.  Then I reseted the targeting with "DEASSIGN TARGET DOMAIN *".
    But the simple alarm rule didn't fire. Then I did following test:
    
    MCC>getevent node4 0 line sva-0 counters zeroed
    
    when I zeroed the line counter, I got following Error:
    
    
    Node4 0 Line sva-0

    Internal error in DECnet Phase IV AM.  
     
    
    Do I have to install BMS again to resolve this problem ?

Using what mechanism were you able to see the incoming events?  MCC?  Opcom?
    
>    Do I have to install BMS again to resolve this problem ?

I don't know yet.

Is the DNA4_EVL process still running?  

Have you tried killing it and restarting it?

Any differences between the accounts that you successfully ran the first
alarm rule in and the one you used subsequently?
3027.4 DNA4_EVL process is runningZUR01::FRICKERThu May 21 1992 06:5026
    >Is the DNA4_EVL process still running?
     yes, the DNA4_EVL process is still running
    
    
    >Have you tried killing it and restarting it?
    yes, I have. The same message:

3027.5could you please try this???KITFOX::BALLTue May 26 1992 15:4561
    Can you try the following things:
    
    ( 1 ) stop the sink
          MCC> disable node4 0 local sink monitor
    ( 2 ) examine your filter
          MCC> show node4 0 outbound stream "the one in question" remote sink monitor all char
         is the filter setup to catch events for line sva-0??? it should look something like 
         what you see below:
    
         0.9 Counters zeroed is what is important in this case
    
    Examination of Attributes shows:
                               EventsFilter = { (
                                         Choice = C5,
                                  Source_Entity = All Sources,
                                          Event = { 0.0 event records lost,
                                                    0.1 automatic node counters,
                                                    0.2 automatic line counters,
                                                    0.3 automatic service,
                                                    0.4 line counters zeroed,
                                                    0.5 node counters zeroed,
                                                    0.6 Passive loopback,
                                                    0.7 Aborted service request,
                                                    0.8 Automatic counters,
                                                    0.9 Counters zeroed }
                                                ),
    
    ( 3 ) if it does not look like this try the following line
          MCC> pass node4 0 outbound stream the_one_in_question remote sink -
               monitor named event = { 0.* }
    ( 4 ) start the sink back up
          MCC> enable node4 0 local sink monitor
    ( 5 ) do a show system to verify the process MCC_DNA4_EVL exists
    ( 6 ) in sys$login a new mcc_dna4_evl.log file should also exist
          in mcc_dna4_evl.log the last 3 lines should look something
          like what you see below:
    
    Declared network object MCC_DNA4_EVL,22-MAY-1992 15:39:21.57
    Wait for EVL link,22-MAY-1992 15:39:21.60
    Connected to EVL,22-MAY-1992 15:39:31.18
    
          it may take awhile especially if this system is heavily
          loaded. so type out the file a few times...
    
    ( 7 ) look to see if the object is also there
          MCC> show node4 0 object mcc_dna4_evl all attr
    ( 8 ) now do a getevent on the line to see if all is now correct
          MCC> getevent node4 0 line sva-0 counters zeroed
    ( 9 ) now generate the event in another window
          MCC> zero node4 0 line sva-0
    ( 10 ) if you still have no success please get in touch with me
           offline at the following:
