Raymond,
If you've renamed the Notifier process, and you want it to startup and restart automatically, you'll need to call that out specifically in your Partlist idb file. For example, I use a separate Notifier process for our Manufacturing sites (AlarmNotifier-Mfg), and it uses a separate resource file (.alarmrc-mfg). Here's my IDB file. I highlighted the syntax-specific lines that make it work. PARTNAME;AlarmNotifier-Mfg; APPNAME;Alarm Notification Service Mfg; WORKPATH;$SPECROOT/Notifier; LOGNAMEPATH;$WORKPATH/NOTIFIER-Mfg.OUT; ADMINPRIVS;y; AUTORESTART;y; AUTOBOOTSTART;y; #STATEBASED;N; NUMPROCS;1; // one per host RETRYTIMEOUT;600; // 10 seconds #TICKETUSER;$USER; RETRYMAX;3; // 3 retries allowed STARTPRIORITY;30; SERVERPROCESS;y; #ENV;<var>=<value>; ARGV;$SPECROOT/Notifier/AlarmNotifier-Mfg<CSEXE> -r ".alarmrc-mfg"; I actually have three separate Notifiers running, all using different resource files, configured similar to the example above, and they all start up automatically and run in the background. Works very well. Hope this helps!

First venture into the Spectrum Alarm Notifier area, so let me document the steps that were suggested to me by CA: 1. I created a new alarm notifier folder & copied the files from the original notifier folder into that new folder. 2. I named the new folder and application (.alarmrc) the same. 3. Updated the paths for the set, update, & clear scripts to use the new name & location. 4. Updated the set, update, & clear scripts to use VARFORMAIL=NotificationData 5. Using SpectroGraph from the OC selected the SANM Policy Administrator 6. Created an Application & Alarm Notification Policy with the proper criteria 7. Saved the files and associated them. 8. Now have a folder, application, & SANM Alarm Notification Policy by the same name. 9. Testing the new SANM policy running from a OC command prompt everything works as it should. 10. The problem is the command line task times out after a few hours based on server settings. So the issue is..... How do I get this to run in the background on the OC server? Or do I need to move this to the MLS? It was suggested that we create a new .idb file (again with the same name) in the spectrum/lib/SDPM/partslist/newappname which we did, then cycled the processd on the OC console. But that didn't seem to address the problem. Can someone share their experience in getting the new alarm notifier process to run as a background task?
