How do I reload all alarms from the historical alarm database?

Purpose

The NFM-P uses an alarm service to cache alarm information. To ensure the cache is current with all alarms stored in the historical alarm database, administrators can reload all alarms from the database. To perform this procedure, you must have a user account with the administrator scope of command role or a scope of command role with write access permissions to the fm.FaultManager class.

Service Disruption

After the procedure is complete, client GUI users viewing open alarm forms and windows may

have out-of-date information. Operators must close all open windows and forms, then relaunch -open the windows or forms. This includes windows and forms that display alarm status information, for example, the navigation tree.

Steps
 

Choose Administration→Reload Alarm Information from the NFM-P main menu.


Click OK to confirm you are aware that all other users will be affected by the alarm reload.

Alarm information is reloaded and all active client GUIs are updated with the confirmation message that the alarms have been reloaded. Client GUI users can close and then reopen the Alarm Window to refresh the information.
