AlarmAckRec

Acknowledges alarms by record number on both the Primary and Standby Alarm Servers. This function can be called from Alarm Server or Client and should not be used with a MsgRPC() call to the Alarm Server.

Syntax

AlarmAckRec(Record [, ClusterName] )

Record:

The alarm record number, returned from any of the following alarm functions:

• AlarmFirstCatRec() or AlarmNextCatRec(): used to search for a record by alarm category, area, and type (acknowledged, disabled, etc.).
• AlarmFirstPriRec() or AlarmNextPriRec(): used to search for a record by alarm priority, area, and type (acknowledged, disabled, etc.).
• AlarmFirstTagRec() or AlarmNextTagRec(): used to search for a record by alarm tag, name, and description.
• AlarmGetDsp(): used to find the record that is displayed at a specified AN, for either an alarm list or alarm summary entry. Set the sField argument in AlarmGetDsp() to "RecNo".

To store this value, use data type Int in Cicode or Long for variable tags (Long needs 4 bytes).

ClusterName:

Specifies the name of the cluster in which the Alarm Server resides. This is optional if you have one cluster or are resolving the alarm server via the current cluster context. The argument is enclosed in quotation marks "".

Return Value

0 (zero) if successful, otherwise an error is returned.
