How to use the Files
The LOG files are used for tracing how an alarm call rolled out. Roughly the procedure is as
follows:
Tracing the roll out of an Alarm
1. Make sure that you have all three files.
2. Import these files into a Spreadsheet application.
3. Search for the required incoming alarm in the INrqs.csv file. Then write down the
parameters: INRQS id, DATE, TIME and Message.
4. Search a record in the file OUTrqs.csv with the same parameters as you have
written down in the previous step. The time can be a few seconds later because of
the processing time in the eKERNEL. (The time in the previous step is the eKERNEL
received the message/alarm, the time in this step is the time that the eKERNEL has
transferred the message/alarm to the output program.
5. Depending on the number of output devices in the Group for this alarm, you have
found one or more output records in the file OUTrqs.csv each having an OUTRQS
id. Now you know to which devices the alarm/message was sent. You also know
the most important parameters that were used to send the alarm/message.
6. Use the identifiers that you used in the previous steps: OUTRQS id, INRQS id,
DATE, TIME and Message, to check the reply/response of the devices in the file
OUTrpy.csv. This shows you if the device did receive the message, did respond to
the message or if the message was diverted to an alternative device.
