If (1) the Status field is ACTIVE and (2) the Activation field is D (rule definition
saved but not activated immediately), the RMS timer is activated only when RMS
initializes.
If (1) the Status field is PENDING, (2) the Activation field is I (rule definition
saved) or N (if you are modifying an existing rule and do not want the rule
definition saved), and (3) a message handler is using the ruleset that contains the
time-based rule, the RMS timer is activated when one of the actions of a triggered
rule in the ruleset activates the timer.
Displaying RMS Timers You can display the list of active RMS timers by selecting option 3 from the NonStop
NET/MASTER RMS primary menu panel. The RMS : Active Timers panel appears
and provides the following information on the timers:
