Bug fix:
"Save as" now writes out ALARMCOUNTFILTER data
Thu Jan 9 08:36:21 CST 1997
In this new alh version, the alarm log file has been changed to a circular log
file with maximum records in the circular file defaulting to 2000. This means
that after 2000 records exist in the alarm log file, the oldest alarm records
will be overwritten when new alarms occur, thus keeping the file size a constant
2000 records. The maximum number of records can be changed using a command line
option m, e.g. "alh -m 5000" will make the alarm log file a circular file with a
maximum of 5000 records. The command "alh -m 0" can be used to allow the alarm
log file to have an infinite number of records.
Thu Jan 16 10:35:16 CST 1997

Modified the icon.
date: 1998/06/02 19:40:43; author: evans; state: Exp; lines: +2 -1
Changed from using Fgmgr to using X to manage events and file
descriptors. (Fdmgr didn't work on WIN32.) Uses XtAppMainLoop,
XtAppAddInput, and XtAppAddTimeOut instead of Fdmgr routines.
Updating areas is now in alCaUpdate, which is called every caDelay ms
(currently 100 ms). Added a general error message routine (errMsg)
and an exception handler (alCAException). Is working on Solaris and
WIN32.
date: 1998/06/04 17:31:58;

Bug fixes for command line option handling.
Modified debug options in Makefile.Host
Mon Jun 22 13:34:09 CDT 1998
Merged the new alh-options created at DESY MKS group:
-D Disable Writing --- allows running alh without creating/modifying
alarmLog and alarmOpMod files.
-S Passive Mode --- means that operator can't acknowledge alarms
and can't save alarmLog and alarmOpMod files.
-T AlarmLogDated --- 1) alarmLog files will have "date" extensions
like YYYY-MM-DD, and automatical switching
this files in midnight.
2) We add FSbox for search LogFiles in
View->"Alarm Log File Window" and
3) We add search button for finding string at LogFile.
4) We add "Find from <t1> to <t2> with <String>"
widget, which allow search <String> from
all AlLog-files at some directory
-P Printing --- simultaneously printing Alarm to TCP printer
(socket connection and so on). Now we print it
asynchronous, so we add additional task "alh_printer"
and modificate Makefile.Unix.

GUIDANCE modified to display urls. (on netscape browser).
The alhConfig file specification is now either URL guidance -
$GUIDANCE http://www.aps.anl.gov/asd/controls
or text guidance -
$GUIDANCE

Added the following alh modifications which were created at DESY MKS group.
New alh-options:
-D Disable Writing --- allows work with alh without possibility
create/modify alarmLog and alarmOpMod files.
-S Passive Mode --- means that operator can't acknowledge alarms
and can't save alarmLog and alarmOpMod files.
-T AlarmLogDated --- 1) alarmLog and OpMod files will have "date" extensions
like YYYY-MM-DD, and automatical switching
this files in midnight.
2) We add FSbox for search LogFiles in
View->"Browser for Alarm Log" and
3) We add search button for finding string at LogFile.
4) We add "Find from <t1> to <t2> with <String>"
widget, which allow search <String> from
all AlLog-files at some directory
-P Printing --- simultaneously printing Alarm to TCP printer
(socket connection and so on). Now we print it
asynchronous, so we add additional task "alh_printer"
and modificate Makefile.Unix.
-L locking --- allow multiple work with the same config files,
only one process is real master and write to alhLog
other is slave and they wait until master will not killed
-0 Database(Oracle) --- simultaneously runtime add Alarm to Database.
it works asynchronous, so we add additional task "alh_DB"
-B - message broadcasting -- allow send messages between operators work with the
same config file. Most important case: "REBOOT MESSAGE":
allow don't save alarm during reboot time.
(NOT IMPLEMENTED YET ;) )

Tue Feb 11 15:28:34 CST 2003 ALH_1_2_11Beta1
More changes for noAck for one hour timer. New Action menu item
"NoAck for One Hour". Channel have Ack mask set to reset value
after one hour. Ability to permanently noAck/Ack a group or
channel. Groups or channels with 1 hour timer will display an
'H' in Ack mask field. A new no-Ack timer will cancel existing
timers in subgroups and channels. When timer expires it will
not reset any subgroups or channels that have an existing (i.e.
more recent) timer.
The text "ALH" has been added to the old Setup Beep Severity
menu item and to the Beep Severity line in the main window message
area to show that it is not a group or channel beep severity.
Now when a channel is enabled after being disabled and it is not
in an alarm state but does have unacknowledged transient alarms, an
automatic acknowlegment is sent to the channel and the auto acknowledge-
ment is logged in the opMod file.

compared to the forcePV forceValue and resetValue to determine whether
to set group/channel masks to the forceMask or resetMask.
Fri Feb 28 16:38:19 CST 2003 ALH_1_2_11Beta4
