Issue
Need a way to automatically acknowledge alarms.
Environment
CyberStation
Cause
All alarms need to be logged in the Continuum database but there are certain alarms routed to another system for processing. It is preferred that these are automatically acknowledged in Continuum so as not to tie up the Continuum logged on user.
Resolution
Continuum can do this using the Plain English AckAlarm function. Scripts within a Pinpoint graphic can also be set up to do this. Refer to the Continuum online help system and search for 'Alarm' in the index. Select 'Alarm functions, Plain English' and review the four subtopics: AckAlarm, Overview, Pop Alarm and User-defined alarm functions.
