Tracking Your Alerts
For reporting purposes, there is a column called ALERTED in the Audit Detail Table
This column contains a one-character flag to indicate the alert status.
The ALERTED Column will contain one of the following values:
Value Description
A
Alert – The alert was issued.
B
Blocked - The record was eligible for an ALERT but the parameter
BLOCKALERTS was set to TRUE (refer to section 6.9, “MOVER Parameters”
on page 129 for more information).
C
Collect-Only – In an Alert Only/Collect-Only environment, the Collectors
update the database with a C if an event would have generated an alert, but
the actual alert would have been generated by the Alert only MOVER, which
does no update the database.
D
Duplicate – The record was eligible for issue but the time specified in
MAXACTIONRATE has not passed.
F
Failed – The attempt failed. This indicates that a problem has occurred and
the desired ACTION cannot be performed before the MAXCOMPLETIONTIME
has been reached.
G
GLOBALBLOCKALERTS is set to ON. An ALERT would have been issued,
but all ALERTS where being suppressed.
N
Not Eligible (default).
O
Old – The record was eligible for issue but older than the value specified in
MAXRECORDAGE.
Note: MAXRECORDAGE, MAXACTIONRATE allow you to control the number of
ALERTS and ACTIONs that occur. A description of these parameters can be
found Chapter 3 under the heading “Step 6. Define the Filter’s Action” on
page 54.
3.3.7 Step 7. Syntax Check and Compile Your FILTERS File
It is recommended, for back out purposes, that changes be made to a copy of the
FILTERS file and the new version moved in after a successful syntax check. The
macros XMA_EDIT_FILTERS and XMA_UPDATE_FILTERS described in Appendix E:
“XMA Host Macros” starting on page 203 are available to facilitate this process. Both
of these macros will also create or update MACONFB, the compiled version of the
FILTERS file.
If you have a multi-node installation, both XMA_EDIT_FILTERS and
XMA_UPDATE_FILTERS macros will compile and update the MACONFB file on all
nodes. A copy of MACONFB is being place on each node to accommodate node
conditional processing.
