Dynamic Configuration Changes

When the $DYN_CFG alarm is routed to the correct role and configured for manual acknowledgement, it notifies the configured role(s) each time a user makes a configuration change while Dynamic Configuration is enabled.

The user, usually the administrator, to whom the alarm is routed will receive an alarm message.

The alarm message contains the following information:

<type> <name> changed by <user_id> (<OS_user> @ <computer_name>)

Where the parameters are as follows:

<type>

Entity type being changed.

<name>

Entity name being changed.

<user_id>

CIMPLICITY login user name of the user making the dynamic configuration change.

<OS_user>@<computer_name>

Computer login user name of the user making the dynamic configuration change.

Important: By default, $DYN_CFG is not routed to any role and is set to be automatically acknowledged and delete on acknowledgement. Therefore, configuration is required if you want it to be seen.

Steps to configure the $DYN_CFG alarm are:

Step 1

Make sure your role has alarm configuration privileges.

Step 2

Open the Alarm Definition - $DYN_CFG dialog box.

Step 3

Configure $DYN_CFG to notify the appropriate role(s).
