Logging Alarm Activations, deactivations, and Acknowledgments

Lookout 5.1
I have a need to be able to execute an event on alarm events when they become active, inactive, and are acknowledged.  Management wants an up to date record of when an alarm comes in, how long that alarm is on, how long it takes operations personnel to respond to the alarm, etc...  I see that I can use the $Alarm block to produce a list of when the alarm is activated, but don't see any method of allowing me to capture when that alarm goes inactive, or when the alarm is acknowledged.
Does such a capability exist, or is management stuck yet again?
David

David,
There is not an easy way to access the alarm database.  Alarms are stored in the MSDE database, and you are free to try to access this database via OBDC (in a 3rd party environment or from Lookout) but the tables aren't published and it is not a supported method of accessing alarm information.  Oh, you are using Lookout 5.1 which stores alarms in the Citadel db.  In any case, you could try using OBDC to import alarms into a datatable.  This may be easier than in Lookout 6.0 but I don't know the structure of the tables -- you'd be on your own there.  Here are a few other ideas:
Have you used the ActiveX AlarmBrowser object? This embeds the same Alarm Browser you use in MAX right into your Lookout Panel.  This gives you all the information you are asking for (timestamp for when the alarm occured, when it was acknowledged, when it became inactive) and color codes the four alarm states: active unacknowleged, active acknowledged, inactive acknowledged, and inactive unacknowledged.  Now, it just presents the timestamps, not a running amount of time the alarms have been active, etc, and you can't really do anything besides acknowledge the alarms from it, but it does present the information you are referring to.
If you actually want to programmatically do things with alarms, you can use either the $alarm object built into every process, or create your own Alarm objects.  Alarm objects have an 'active' datamember that you could work with to create different types of timers with.  As far as knowing when individual alarms are acknowledged programmatically, the only thing I can think of would be to create a separate alarm area for each alarm, then you can use the $alarm object and check which alarms are active and/or acknowledged. With some creative uses of timer objects, the $alarm object, and expressions, you may be able to do what you are thinking about.  Hope this helps!

  • PSN hack, system activation/deactivation and a foreboding of DRM restrictions to come.

    I have had an ongoing issue since yesterday which has now escalated due to the terrible customer service at sony's call centres. My account has clearly been tampered with in some way and no one seems to believe me at customer support.Let me start by stating that this is my ONLY ps4. I purchased it 2 weeks ago and  activated it as my primary console upon initilisation. There are no other users accessing it at any time, no sub accounts or otherwise. i am the SOLE user. According to the ignorant staff member i spoke to and i quote 'you have activated consoles 60 times in the last week. several ps3's and 2 ps4's' alarmed by this i replied; 'Well clearly that shows evidence of account tampering as i am categorically stating to you that i have only 1 ps4 and 1 ps3 and have only activated devices of any kind once for almost 2 years; That being my ps4. There are no other users on my PS4 or psn account, no friends or family accessing my content in any way. My ps4 is currently listed as not being the primary in my account details. So obviously there is either an error on your end or someone has hacked my account. Could i please gain assistance with shutting down whoever has manipulated my account privelages? So far no unauthorised transactions have been made as i updated my security details almost immediately after this occured. But as this is a recent circumstance i do not feel comfortable about my account security.' the rep was attempting to interrupt me the entire time despite not having a grasp of the full situation. ultimately his response, condescending throughout was: 'As i have just explained several times, your ps4 has been deactivated on one console and activated on another as a primary. As no fraudulent purchases have been made i conclude that no one has tampered with your account and that you have deactivated your console and activated another. You need to have an active connection to the internet to play or use any digital content purchased through PSN, regardless of whether you are the primary user or not. We are going round in circles so unless you have any other questions pertaining to anything that does not relate to this subject or PSN i will have to terminate this call.' Firstly, you do NOT have to have a constant connection to PSN to play your games. This is one of the deciding factors in me actually purchasing this over an x box ( slowly regretting this decision). DRM only takes effect if a SECONDARY ps4 is trying to access content downloaded on the primary with your account. So not only did he attempt to misinform me in order to shut the call down, he outright refused to take my issue further, simply repeating his earlier statement as a default response to pretty much anything i suggested. Secondly. You DO NOT hang up on a customer simply because you personally are refusing to solve the problem. I wasn't rude or inflammatory towards him in any way, which was difficult to accomplish with just how ignorant and stand offish he was behaving ( unacceptable behaviour from someone who represents a company that just received over 600 pounds worth of money from a loyal customer once again).When i asked him if i could speak to a senior staff member or if i could be redirected to another department he simply stated:'I will not be doing that, my decision is final and you will not be able to change your activation for the next 6 months.' when i suggested that it's highly unusual for ANYONE to activate/deactivate multiple consoles 60 times within one week he replied with; 'no that's not unusual at all, either yourself or someone in the household has done this. I am terminating this call.'  Seriously, i have never received such flagrant, atrocious customer service in my life. By some miracle after my 3rd phone call i got through to someone named Arctur who was extremely helpful. Instead of assuming i have 50 consoles he actually used his brain and assessed the details with common sense. he concluded that someone HAD in fact been on my account and had locked me out as the primary user in order to gain access to privelages and ultimately shut down my account entirely. He deactivated the 'fake' ps4. Which according to the rep from before they had no power to do (go figure). And apologised to me personally.  is this the future of SEN? DRM policies convulted to the nth degree, content lock for games i've purchased with MY money unless i am connected to the internet? and customer service staff refusing to adhere to thier own job roles? I don't feel secure enough to even sign in at the moment let alone purchase anything else from this company. I've never experienced such an awful situation as this when i had my ps3. 2 weeks after i purchase my ps4 this happens.  I never paid much credence to all the transcripts online of people having constant problems with PSN and PS4. I just assumed the stories were either over exaggerated or there were just disgruntled customers using twitter as a knee jerk reaction to an interruption in thier service. But after yesterday/today. I really think Sony need to slow down the aggressive marketing wagon and reallocate some funds to hire competent staff members for both thier online security/customer service. If this happens again i will be getting a full refund for this and simply returning to my PS3. I'd rather have a secure last -gen console than a next-gen one that's about as secure as a straw house.  Being inadvertently 'locked 'out of all digital content that belongs to ME due to this issue has me seriously doubting Sony's assurance that the 'always online' ideology will be far from restrictive. If your servers are soo easy to breach, then surely you should allow your customers to verify themselves and thier ps4 through it's serial ID and simply waive the 6 month restriction on deactivation no? Instead i get locked out of my own content for your failings to fix your errors or protect your company from online attacks.i could play anything on my ps3 anytime i wanted, internet connection or no. So whichever way you look at it, this is a step back, not forward.  I truly believe issues like this need widespread coverage so that new customers know exactly what they could potentially be getting into. it's unnacceptable that a decent portion of your consumer base gets ignored just because the majority face no problems. 

    Is anyone still having this problem? I had a similar experience this afternoon, I was logged out of my system because another PS4 had been logged in with my credetials. I phoned the two people in my family who's PS4s I've logged in on and one had already deleted the account months ago and the other was not at home.When I updated my password it still happened, so I updated my email address aswell, within a minute of updating my email address I receive a PSN message from an account I don't know saying they were named Denis, 10 yrs old and could the please play my games.

  • Serious issue related to activation/deactivation and reinstall

    Got a serious issue going one. I had deactivated my Premiere Pro CS6 install on my main system while I was traveling and activated the install on my laptop. When I returned, I deactivated the laptop and re-activated the main system again. Any AVCHD clips that were already there were recognized, but if I tried importing any new ones, I'd get the "Unsupported compression type" error. Realizing that this is usually an activation issue, I tried to deactivate so that I could reactivate, but the Deactivate selection was grayed out. So, I uninstalled and ran the clean up tool. Then re-installed from the Cloud and activated. I could then import new AVCHD media without the "Unsupported compression type" error, however, now the project I was working on opens, but nothing will play - neither in the Timeline or the Source Monitor. Hitting "Play" does nothing. I can move the CTI along the Timeline but the initial frame that is in the Program Monitor stays the same. Furthermore, when I try to Save, the program hangs, forcing me to end Premiere from the Task Manager.
    Now, after several time opening the project, all AVCHD(.MTS) media is offline, and cannot be imported due to the  "Unsupported compression type" error. I have all of the media files backed up to an external drive, so I copied some of the backed up verisons of the .MTS files over to my onboard media RAID, and still get the error. HOWEVER...when I link the offline clips to the backed up versions of the files on the external drive, they import correctly.  Keep in mind, this isn't happening with all projects, only one.
    Here's what I've tried as possible remedies...
    - Created an empty project and imported the working project into it - same thing happens in the new project
    - Created an empty project and imported individual sequences from the bad one. This works, however, one of the sequences in the bad version doesn't appear in the list of sequences when importing, providing a clue as to where the problem lies.
    - Trashed preferences
    - Cleaned Media Cache Database
    - Deleted all Previews
    I'm at an impasse. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    OK...looks like the issue is settled. I tried installing PPro from the Cloud to another machine. After install I noticed that Application Manager was showing that an update was available for PPro. Hadn't gotten any other noices about that down in the status bar like I usually do, just the entry inside App Manager. So I updated the new machine. Then opened the errant project, and it seemed to be working properly, so I saved it back out with a different filename and took it back over to the main editing machine. Same issue was still there. So, I checked Application Manager on the main system, and voila, there was the update notice. So, I installed the update, and the project works like a charm now.

  • Ipad apple ID account is deactivated and don't know the password or security questions

    I have had an ipad for 12 months, my husband created an icloud account on it ([email protected]) but since then we have never used the ipad to log into apple website, itunes etc.  Recently I purchased a MAC and iphone5 and after downloading the latest itunes to then sync all 3 together the ipad then asked for apple ID and password even though it had never asked for this before.  The trouble is the ipad apple ID is an icloud one, ie. an email account that belongs to Apple, so we cannot reset the password via email as we don't have access to the email, and one of the security questions answers comes up wrong all the time.  Because we have tried several times to remember the password the apple ID is now deactivated and the only way to re-activate it is via email verification (impossible) or security questions (impossible).  We tried connecting ipad to computer and restoring factory settings, but the ipad continues to ask for apple ID and password...help... customer service Apple in Spain has more or less told us if we can't remember the security questions or password and have no recovery email (which we don't) then basically the device is useless!!!! Urm, that ipad cost a lot of money to just "throw it away".  Any advice you can give me?

  • DSC 8.6.1 doesn't log alarms

    My alarms are not being logged in DSC 8.6.1.
    I can tell that the alarms are being properly generated when I monitor them in the Distributed System Manger.  In keeping with previous posts, I know that the MSSQL server is running in the taskbar.  I've also tried changing the permissions for NETWORK SERVICE in the citadel directory.
    When I try to monitor alarms in LV, it returns error code 1967386611: HIST_RunAlarmQueryCORE.vi, Citadel:  (Hex 0x8ABC100D) The given Citadel database is not currently configured to log alarms to a relational database.
    I also notice that the time stamp on all of the citadel files is not being updated with each alarm, so it really seems like the alarms not being logged.
    I have alarm logging enabled in all the appropriate places (at the variable, and in the library properties).
    When I check the alarm log history in MAX, there is nothing there.
    Thanks,
    Charlie

    Hello David,
    I have the same Problem with LabVIEW and DSC8.5.1 and, yes, SQL-Server 2000 was installed before I tried to install DSC the first time.
    But after I uninstalled the DSC, SQL-Server-Express 2005 and the old 2000-Version and reinstalled the complete DSC-Module it still didn't work. MAX doesn't display any error message but doesn't also show any data. ldf- and mdf-Files are not contained in the database folder.
    Right after installation and first reboot I get an Error-Message: IN MSDE Security Setup Error „NI MSDE is not accessable or currently logged
    user doesn't have sysadmin permissions“. I found a post for this issue, but the suggested solutions didn't work for me too ( http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=243298). And if I try to use the DSC's alarm-loging feature I end up with the Error:"...database is not currently configured to log alarms...".
    The DSC and the application we developed work fine on two other
    XP-Pro-PC's and I was surprised to get in trouble with installing it on
    the customers PC.
    The Windows XP Pro has been installed by our customer and I don't want to touch that installation. My user account has admin permissions. I have no clue how to fix this and I hope you have an idea what to try next.
    Thanks in advance,
    Thomas

  • TCS4 + CS5.5 + *3* machines + Activation/Deactivation - Question Jumble

    I apologize in advance if this seems convoluted -- I have *tried* to make sure I'm saying only what needs to be said :-) Any help would be appreciated. [Note: I *did* try to 'chat' with a representative, but didn't even get through the deactivation question before they got stuck in scripted answer limbo.]
    On machine #1, I had previously installed TCS2.5 and CS5.5 (Design Standard). Thus I Acrobat X Pro (amongst many other apps, including Acrobat 9 Pro Extended) available.
    I recently installed TCS4 on machine #1 (which includes Acrobat XI Pro), but Acrobat X Pro and Acrobat 9 Pro are no longer available (error message: action is only valid for products that are currently installed).
    I also installed TCS4 on machine #2.
    I now need to use TCS4 on machine #3 (and machine #2). I can live without it on machine #1 for the time being, but would like to be able to use it again later.
    So...
    I need to deactivate TCS4 on machine #1 and activate it on machine #3. According to a page in the adobe help, I should be able to do this *without* removing the software from machine #1.
    Question: Is that correct?
    Question: Is there a time limit within which I have to reactivate, or am I good anytime?
    Question: Is there a limit to the number of times I can deactivate and reactivate the software, and/or a minimum period between deactivation and reactivation?
    When I deactivate TCS4 on machine #1, I will no longer have Acrobat available.
    Question: Can I *reinstall* Acrobat 9 Pro (from the TCS2.5 install) or Acrobat X Pro (from the CS5.5 install)?
    Question: Will installing this older version of Acrobat interfere with the Acrobat XI Pro that is already installed (which I will want to be able to use again later)?
    In a nutshell, I'm doing this because I need to keep confidential client information on machines #2 and #3 (cannot share the information on the same machine). They are the main clients for the TCS software. But, I will also need to use the TCS software, on occasion, for other clients using machine #1 (again, cannot share info on common machines). So... I need to be able to turn off the software on one machine and turn it back on on the other. (As you can infer, the issue of Acrobat versions (and other adobe software) applies to each machine -- I want to be able to keep two machines running current software, and have the third running my licensed extra copy of Acrobat.)
    Thanks all :-)

    Installation and activation are separate and distinct actions, completely independent.
    You can have installed Adobe software that is deactivated - it's still fully there but won't run.
    Don't tie yourself in knots - the easiest thing to do would be to contact Adobe customer service and have them reset the activation counts for all your product serial numbers to zero.  Then you can reactivate them exactly on the systems you want (just start the programs to do this).
    For more details, see:
    How to Move Adobe Software Between Computers, or from PC to Mac
    Hope this helps!

    I've contacted the Lenovo Support in Poland and they tend to tell that this is because Microsoft has invalidated my codes for unknown reason. Contacting Microsoft they told me that it its vendor's (Lenovo) problem and they are not responsible - shall I obtain new licence key from Lenovo. The Polish Thinkpad support is working on the problem since January the 9th, with no success.
    The Windows grace period is already over and I cannot use my ultrabook now without activating the licence.
    Is this the famous Thinkpad support quality? I already own 4 Thinkpads and sorry gyus but I'm considering swithing to some other vendor.
    When I called them, the solution provided by the Thinkpad support was... "would you please reainstall the OS once more to get another grace period?" I was thinking it was a kind of joke, but it wasn't... Asking for the responsibility of the Lenovo for the Windows OS they provided I was told that Lenovo is not responsible and I was given the advice to buy the hardware with no OS next time, have box licence from Microsoft separatelly.
    I'm really disappointed. This is my last Thinkpad I believe. It seems even having the warranty it is not enoug to get support from Lenovo - I'm on my own...

  • Home Hub 3-- Re-activating BTWIFI and BTFON signal...

    I have a Home Hub 3 and some days ago I had to do a factory reset on it. After that I had lost the BTWIFI and BTWIFI-with FON hotspot signals from the hub.
    When I logged in to the hub it said “You aren't currently part of the BT FON WiFi Community”.
    I found this page on your website: http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12987/~/i%27ve-changed-my-bt-home-hub-and-my-bt-wi-fi...
    I carried out the instructions to opt out and to opt in again, but after 3 days nothing had happened. There were still no hotspot signals from the hub and if I looked at the hub it still said “You aren't currently part of the BT FON WiFi Community”, despite the fact that if I checked my status online it said “opted in”.
    I then called the support number 0800 022 3322 recommended on this forum and got the Indian call centre who told me that home hubs do not have a dedicated hotspot signal and that the problem was due to a lack of hotspots in my area….!!!
      I then sent a support message using the BT support contact form describing the above problem and asking if they could re-instate the signals manually. This is the reply I received:
    “*removed
    This reply was also from India and needless to say, I did not phone the help desk as suggested, as this was the same number that had failed me previously. It is obvious that BT staff in India are not aware of how BT provide hotspots in the UK.
     I opted out and in again once more at that point, but it is now 5 days since my opt in and nothing has happened at the hub.
      So my question is, is there a way of contacting someone in BT in the UK who understands the problem and can arrange for the hotspot signals to be re-activated on the hub.
     After all, they were de-activated inadvertently, and you would think that it would be in BT’s interests to activate them again as soon as possible.
     I have no complaints about the BT broadband service, and I can understand the need for them to use an inexpensive call centre to filter out most of the simple queries, but in situations where the staff do not understand or cannot help they should refer the customer back to someone in the UK qualified to solve the problem.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    All power to the Mods! I had a letter from Stuart this morning saying he had checked my hub status and that it was queued for activation and that it should happen within 48 hours, but by the time I read his letter it was already activated. He thinks it was a combination of luck and co-incidence, but I blame divine intervention.
      So I have marked SJTP’s post as the accepted solution. Thank you.
      However, it should not be necessary to resort to these forums and the mods to resolve a problem like this, so I am going to suggest the following to any BT employees who might be interested.
      While having a call centre in India is an inexpensive way of dealing with most of the problems raised by BT’s clients, there will always be some problems that are not resolved or are advised badly due to the limited training of call centre staff.  At present BT send a customer satisfaction survey after any query of their call centre, but the results are used for their own purposes. What I would suggest is that any unresolved issues at that point should result in the client being given a contact to a UK based technical team so they can have some hope that their issue would be resolved.
      This would create a huge boost to BT’s image amongst users and would probably greatly reduce the number of issues on this forum, particularly the ones resulting in negative press for BT.

  • Active Directory and many OUs

    Hello all,
    This topic might have been talked about before but after a lot of searching I still have not found a solution, so I ask for a bit of help.
    In our Active Directory there are many OUs where users are kept. There is no one top OU where you can start your search. I don't really know why it was set up this way and I don't have an option to change that. I would really like to have ou=users like most have!
    So when I try to authenticate a user (I'm installing DSpace in my uni) I cannot automatically add the OU for the user trying to log in and the users themselves don't know their OU (well, why would they!).
    I'm hoping there is some simple solution to this. Maybe JNDI API allows for searching in many OUs at the same time (some fixed list in the code)? Or maybe the OU is not needed at all in the search?
    Any help/hints would be appreciated.
    best regards, Logi

    For searching, you can issue a subtree search will search through the entire subtree, irrespective of how many levels of OU's may exist, by using SearchControls.SUBTREE_SCOPE
    Have a look at the tutorial at http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/tutorial/basics/directory/scope.html
    For authentication, you can either get the user to enter their:
    distinguished name
    (cn=Albert Eirnstein, ou=Research,dc=Antipodes,dc=com), although that is not entirely user friendly
    their NT style logon name (samAccountName)
    ANTIPODES\alberte, more user friendly,
    or their Windows 200 style logon name (userPrincipalName),
    [email protected], equally as user friendly.

  • 10.6 home directory mounting with active directory and open directory integration

    Hi guys i am having some issues in my new mac environment. I have a windows network with an server 2008 active directory. I have just recentlly created a "magic triangle" setup with active directory and open directory. When my users login via windows their home folders mount perfect. When any user logs in to any iMac in the building it does not work. They login perfectly fine, but their home folders do not mount. When i try mounting them manually with smb, i get a prompt for credentials. I am thinking this is my issue, my Single sign on with kerbos is working but for some reason is not logging in correctly. If i type in my credentials with my domain first then my name it works.
    For example DOMAIN\jsmith works, but the way i think the mac and active directory is doing it now is just jsmith without the DOMAIN.
    I feel like this is the problem with the home folders not mounting.
    Can anyone provide some help with this?
    Thanks,
    Dani

    Hi dani190,
    are you using the fully qualified domain name of the network server? ie if your server is bob. and your domain is domain.company.com. then the FQDNS would typically be bob.domain.company.com or bob.company.com.
    If the FQDNS works, then have you checked in the AD to make sure the path to the network home folder uses the FQDNS?
    For the contact search path, did you put the AD at the top the list? (in directory utility)
    Did you set the WINS work group on your client computer to your domain?
    ie:Apple Menu, System Preferences, Network, Active Network Port (ethernet and or airport) , Advanced Button, WINS Tab, set workgroup to the name of your domain. ie domain.company.com and or company.com
