Create a new folder in the TNG installation directory.
aep-0001b.jpg
aep-0001c.jpg
Copy the cauevt_exit_file.dll to this directory.

The exit dll uses the windows registry for its configuration. Edit the provided registry file.
aep-0001f.jpg
Change the path of the ASCII-File generated by the DLL to the newly created directory.
aep-0001g.jpg
Load the settings into the windows registry.

Customize the Installation-Script for adding the DLL to Unicenter's event management.
aep-0001j.jpg
Check the INSTALL_DIR value.
aep-0001k.jpg
Now run the installation program.
aep-0012.jpg
Stop Unicenter..
aep-0013.jpg
Start Unicenter.
aep-0014.jpg
Open the TNG Console. You should see a similar message as below about CAUEVT_EXIT_DLL . It indicates that the DLL is in use by Unicenter.
Adding the RemoveStorm daemon program
aep-0020.jpg
The CAUEVT_EXIT_FILE.DLL generates an ASCII-File which is used by one or more daemon programs. This section describes how to configure RemoveStormExit.Exe to attach to the ASCII-File.
aep-0021.jpg
Copy the RemoveStorm directory to the root directory of AEP.

Wtopipe is a tool to write efficiently messages into the TNG console.
Copy the program to the root directory of AEP.

aep-0026.jpg
When Unicenter starts up the exit-DLL is loaded. At this time the Exit-Programs have to start, too. This is done with a message/action and the script ExitPrgsStart.cmd . Copy the program to the root directory of AEP.
aep-0027.jpg
aep-0030b.jpg
Change the path in the startup-script to the current path to RemoveStormExit.
aep-0028.jpg
Configure the message actions for AEP.
aep-0029.jpg
Change the path to ExitPrgsStart.cmd accordingly.
aep-0030.jpg
Load the definitions.
aep-0031.jpg
Reload the decision base with opreload.
aep-0032.jpg
Cauevt_Exit_File understands some internal commands. There is a command to empty the ASCII-File Cauevt_Exit_File.txt . It is the message "Cauevt_Exit_File start purging file".
The exit programs are started on receipt of an internal message of cauevt_exit_file: "The file ... was opened."
aep-0034.jpg
You should see the startup message of RemoveStormExit.exe.
aep-0035.jpg
You should find the program name as a process in windows.
Using RemoveStorm
aep-0036.jpg
Load the sample message/actions provided with this kit.
aep-0036b.jpg
Reload the decision base.
aep-0038.jpg
Send the first storm messages to the console. The message "I knew not whence they came, from sun or thunder-storm." is sent 3 times to the console. The following message/action matches:
The action is to DISCARD (to remove the message from the console of Unicenter) the message from Unicenter.
The action contains to attribute values for RemoveStorm: source="RemoveStorm" defines that RemoveStorm should process this message. category="Verse 1" defines that all messages should be bound to the Key "Verse". The number "1" defines that the time intervals should be 1 minute.
define msgrec
msgid="I knew not whence they came, from sun or thunder-storm."
type="MSG"
msgnode="*"
desc="Example1: Count repetitive messages from Verse_node"
cont='N'
msgact='Y'
wcsingle='?'
wcmany='*'
case="y"
regexp="n"
define msgact
name=(*,10)
action="DISCARD"
attrib="DEFAULT"
color="DEFAULT"
condop=" "
evaluate='Y'
quiet='N'
status="ACTIVE"
source="RemoveStorm"
category="Verse 1"
sim='N'
aep-0040.jpg
In the console you should not see the messages. Instead you should see the messages from RemoveStorm.
aep-0041.jpg
aep-0042.jpg
Finally RemoveStormExit itself unterstands a message to stop. Define a message/action that matches "RemoveStormExit stop now" and the daemon process will exit.
