Processing Messages › Message Modification

Message Modification

Message presentation and message text can be modified by specifying the requirements on the Message Modification panel.

Message Text Replacement

Using the Replacement Text field on the Message Modification panel, you can replace the entire message text with an alternative text string. The text can include system variables.

Note: For more information about the system variables, see the Network Control Language Reference Guide.

System Message Presentation Parameters

To alter how a message is displayed to a system console user, specify the message descriptor code in the Set Descriptor Code field. This code determines the color that the system uses to display the message on a color console, and whether the message is non-roll deletable.

To change the message route code, specify a value in the Set Route Code field, which the system uses to control message delivery.

OCS Message Presentation Parameters

By completing the appropriate fields in the lower box on the Message Modification panel, you can alter how a message is displayed to a user. You can also specify whether a console alarm is sounded when the message is delivered, and whether the message is delivered to monitor class users. The monitor status of a user is set in the user definition and profile.

Example: Sound Alarm on Message Delivery

This example specifies that the console alarm is sounded when the messages that trigger the rule are delivered.
