Procedure

[Lieven Stubbe]

Hello Broadcom,

We created a procedure in Spectrum to extract a substring from a varbind, which we will be using in a new event. (Parse a single varbind into multiple)
The procedure compiles without any errors, but when the procedure is triggered we receive following messages:
Any idea what is wrong?

Thx,

The procedure names are case sensitive. So it should be If and not if.

Hello Catalin, 

Many thanks for the help, indeed, If & GetRegexp need capital in front, otherwise an error is thrown. (very confusing)

One more question, how do we address event variable v2 from the trap in a procedure? In an event condition this is addressed by {v 2}

if(regexp({V 2}, {S \"No members available for pool\"} )

Kind regards,
Lieven

You should be checking the definition for the Procedure, as it fully describes how it should be used. You can find it under $SPECROOT/SS/CsVendor/CA/Procedures.

I would suggest also searching for an existing example in the Event Disposition files, as it would be easier to find the correct syntax that way. It's a bit cumbersome the syntax for the Event Procedures.

Hello Catalin,

After many blood, sweat an tears we succeeded to create a valid procedure. The fact that in Event Rules "regexp" starts with lower capital, and in Procedures "Regexp"  needs to be Upper capital, is very confusing. CA should really do something about that!!
