Enterprise Alarm Manager
Known Alarm Manager Anomalies in SPECTRUM 6.5
SPECTRUM Software Release Notice Page 30
Problem 8: When you run Enterprise Alarm Manager (within a distributed
environment) against a SpectroSERVER which does not have all model
types linked in and which is modeling a landscape which contains some of
these extra model types, the extra model types will not show up in the
model type list of the filter dialog, but any alarms on the extra model types
will be displayed in the alarm list.
Solution: Be sure the server has all model types (within a distributed
environment) needed to display in the model type list.
Problem 9: When changing column sizes while the Model list is updating,
the Enterprise Alarm Manager will crash.
Solution: Wait until the Model list completes updating and then resize
columns. This has been found to be related to a third-party component
vendor which has this case under review.
Problem 10: If the Model menu or the Icon Subviews menu (accessed by
right clicking the device icon) is open at the time the device is removed from
the view (for example, the alarm is cleared or the device is destroyed),
accessing the menu causes the application to crash.
Solution: If the Model or Icon Subviews menu is open when the device is
removed from the view, close the menu (release the right mouse button or
click elsewhere in the view) and reopen the menu for the newly selected
item. Aprisma is continuing to work with a third-party component vendor
to investigate a fix or workaround for this problem.
Problem 11: When using the Enterprise Alarm Manager on systems
running Windows NT, 4.0, and 2000, if you hit the Return or Enter keys
while entering a text string in the Alarm Status field, the data reflected in
the Alarm Status field in the AlarmNotifier will be truncated or include
garbage characters. In addition, the values for fields following Alarm
Status in the AlarmNotifier will also contain garbage characters. This is a
problem if you are using AlarmNotifier in conjunction with Enterprise
Alarm Manager.
Solution: Do not press the Return or Enter keys while entering text in
the Alarm Status field since text will automatically wrap. This problem will
be corrected in the next major release of SPECTRUM.
