950.0. "Ack and Ens pre-processor" by 52336::BAUDELLE () Tue Aug 29 1995 09:45

    
    
    It looks like the re-send of events made by the acknowledge doesn't
    go through the Ens pre-processor ?
    
    Am i right or is there something wrong with the pre-processor i'm
    currently using ?
    
    thanks

    Pierre,
       I'm not quite following you here. If I read this correctly, you
    are acknowledging a event (within the Mutli-Line Window for example)
    and the preprocessor doesn't get a chance to process it? I can
    check the code to see if these kinds of events are not passed.

    Dan,
    
    You are right and i'd like to use the pre-processor to modify some
    event fields in order to prevent the same filter to apply when you
    acknowledge an event (An action routine would then be activated when
    receiving an event but not when ack it)
    
    Thanks to check the code
    
    Regards

    Pierre,
      As I expected, there is no special case for acknowledged events. They
    will be passed on to the preprocessor assuming you are using the
    CMUserAcknowlegeEvent routine. The code will call the internal routine
    to send the event to ENS just as the controller daemons do. The only real 
    difference in an event and an acknowleged event is that the event type is 
    set to CMEventTypeAck. Use the following 'C" macro to look at the type:
    
    CMEventType(event)
    
    to see if it's equal to CMEventTypeAck.  The macro and CMEventTypeAck
    are defined in console.h. I would also suggest putting in some
    debugging code that can be turned on an off. Whenever I write an action
    or preprocessor I create a logical name and then use the 'C' RTL
    routine "getenv" to interrogate it. yes, getenv will look for a logical
    name as well as a symbol so you don't have to code up a call to the
    $TRNLNM service yourself.
