Event Configuration Editor (ECE)
Corrected Anomalies
Item Description
1 If you use the ECE to modify how an event is processed (i.e., whether it is logged,
creates an alarm, or clears an alarm), the modification affects all model types that
use the event. It is now possible to use ECE to change the event processing for a
specific model type or for a set of vendor-specific model types.
2 If you use a text editor to edit the event processing instructions for an event in any
vendor-level EventDisp file, changes made later to the event processing for this
event no longer overwrite changes made with a text editor.
ECE no longer overwrites entries that use:
R (Event Rule)
N (Alarm User-Clearable)
T (Alarm Persistent) syntax
ECE also no longer overwrites other manual changes made to processing
instructions.
Known Anomalies
Item Description Solution
1 EventDisp processing now supports the
ability to clear mulitple alarms
associated with a single event. However,
the ECEditor does not provide
functionality through the user interface
to make a single event clear mulitple
alarms.
In addition, if you change an entry in the
EventDisp file which defines an event
that clears multiple alarms, ECE erases
all references to cleared alarms except
the last alarm cleared.
Manually edit the event code in the
EventDisp file so it clears multiple
alarms.
For details on editing the EventDisp file,
see the Event Configuration Files Guide
(5070).
This issue will be corrected in a future
release of SPECTRUM.
