Re: [foxboro] How can i use 'Clear Page' for all Alarm-Managers

Dirk,

You need to edit (create) the file \usr\fox\wp\data\init.user. Search for
the option CLR_OPT, enable it, and set the value to 1. Reboot. When an alarm
is cleared it will then be cleared from all workstations in the CAG as set
up in your commgrp.cfg file. Note: This will need to be done for all
workstation in the CAG if you want to be able to clear these alarms from all
the workstations.

This has nothing to do with the *AApan, *AAtab, or am_def.cfg files.

Subject: [foxboro] How can i use 'Clear Page' for all Alarm-Managers

Hi List,

what is the way to configure a redundant alarm manager configuration?

I need the functionality that using the "Clear page" AM-button on one =
AW51C has at the same time the same result on a second AW51C.

What I've already done?

1) Configuring an error free /usr/fox/alarms/*AApan-file

2) Configuring an error free /usr/fox/alarms/*AAtab-file using a =
selfmade script
(my script checks the existence of display files configured in the =
*AApan-file and supresses double entries of Compound:Blocks in the =
*AAtab-file)

3) Configuring an Alarm Manager config-file using AMDC

I avoided the usage of an config-file for every AW/WP. Here a snippet of =
the /usr/fox/alarms/Q7332U/am.log file.

12:10:54 5-3-04 Trying /usr/fox/customer/alarms/cfg/Q7332U.cfg.
12:10:54 5-3-04 Unable to open config file =
/usr/fox/customer/alarms/cfg/Q7332U.cfg
12:10:54 5-3-04 Trying /usr/fox/customer/alarms/cfg/am_def.cfg.

Configuring a *cfg-file for every AW/WP does not solve my problem.

Another point of interest is that I had an running system on V6.1 where =
the functionality had exists. Now at V6.5 and V6.51 is the functionality =
not given or not right configured.

# LBUG    NAME1      LBUG        DTL    PRIO  DISP         NAME2

Q7332U CAGNAME      Q7331U      ------ ------ ------    ------------
Q7331U#


A solution could be a script that sends an amcmd to the second AW-AM but =
is there no standard foxboro solution built-in?
