Example

This section guides you through a series of steps to create Autonomous Message definitions using a test example REPT ALM ENV.

Step 1

Right-click on the notification node element in the Message Tree and select the Add New menu. A Create New Autonomous Message dialog is displayed where you must specify the Autonomous Message name and output code verb. In this case, the Autonomous Message name is REPORT and the output verb is REPT. Click the OK button to commit the changes. The Autonomous Message name is displayed as a node in the notification. This node will have output code as a child.

Step 2

Select the autonomous message node or the output code from the TL1 Message Tree. The right panel will display the autonomous message details. Now, define the category, default alarm, and description fields for this autonomous message.

Step 3

The right panel also displays blocks, such as output code and quoted and unquoted message block. You can modify the output code for the notification by selecting the Auto Code button. Click the Add button corresponding to the first modifier block. A Create New Modifier dialog is displayed where you must specify the modifier name (ALM).

To specify a file name that corresponds to a list of first-level modifiers, enable the rr option and select the file using the ... option. Click OK button to commit the changes. You can edit or remove the modifiers using the Edit and Remove buttons respectively. In the same way, you can create a second modifier by clicking the Add button corresponding to the second modifier block.

Step 4

Now define the text block parameters. Since the text block is quoted, select the Quoted tab to specify the parameter blocks. To create a parameter block, click the Add button from the parameter block panel. A Parameter Block dialog is displayed where you must specify the block names. The block names are used to identify a particular block in the text block. For example, you can have the block names as block1 and block2. Since both the blocks are mandatory, the depth is 0.

Specify the parameters for the parameter block. To add parameters to a block, select the block and click the Add button from the parameter panel. The Parameter dialog is displayed where you must specify the details with respect to that parameter such as name, type, mode, etc. Click OK to commit the changes. Likewise, you can add rest of the parameters to the parameter block.

If the autonomous message contains an unquoted text block, select the Unquoted tab and specify the parameter blocks and parameters.

Step 5

Click the Update button to commit the changes and Save button to save the changes to the file.
