Clearing a Temporary FAK Alarm

This procedure is used to clear the critical alarm, UAM 0368, generated when a temporary feature access key has expired, using the chg-ctrl-feat command.

The chg-ctrl-feat command uses the following parameters:

:partnum - The part number of the controlled feature that was temporarily enabled and is causing the alarm.

:alarm=clear - Clears UAM 0368, Temp Key(s) have expired.

The controlled feature must have been temporarily enabled and is now in danger of expiration or in an expired state.

1. Display the controlled feature that has the expired feature access key by entering the rtrv-ctrl-feat:expired=yes command.

   The following is an example of the possible output.

   rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 21:17:37 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
   The following features have expired temporary keys:
   Feature Name              Part Num
   Intermed GTT Load Sharing 893006901

2. Clear the EAGLE alarm in the database by entering the chg-ctrl-feat command.

   For example, enter this command.

   chg-ctrl-feat:partnum=893006901:alarm=clear

   When this command has successfully completed, the following message should appear.

   rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 21:16:37 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
   CHG-CTRL-FEAT: MASP A - COMPLTD

3. Verify that the alarm has cleared in the database by using the rtrv-ctrl-feat:expired=yes command.

   The following is an example of the possible output.

   rlghncxa03w 06-10-28 21:16:37 GMT EAGLE5 36.0.0
   0367.0181  *  SYSTEM      Temp Key(s) expiration alarm cleared.

4. Backup the new changes using the chg-db:action=backup:dest=fixed command.

   These messages should appear, the active Maintenance and Administration Subsystem Processor (MASP) appears first.

   BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup starts on active MASP.
   BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup on active MASP to fixed disk complete.
