pcsAlarmCont

group: TPP table: TPP state: ALARM

pcsAlarmCont provides one of the connection points between the PCS system and the post processing alarm system. For each event found it the configured PCS stream-state, a CMS message is sent to the alarmdec_pp program by means of the alarmevent program.

pcsAlarmCont runs the basic PCS client loop:

• queries for the next event in its assigned stream-state
• if an event is found, run alarmevent <evid>
• if alarmevent succedded, set stream-state event result to 1 and repeat the loop
• if alarmevent failed, set stream-state event result to 100 and repeat the loop
• if no event is found, sleep 30 seconds and repeat the loop
