Script to filter alerts

[Mgiacome]

So, I've managed to accomplish a sort of dynamic filter on AES panels. The filters are the DP list, a PRIORITY and a STATE

The following function creates a new AEScreen internal DP with the current UI number as index (so each user has a different and customized AEScreen); it also creates a new AESProperty internal DP, and makes the relative association between AEScreen and AESProperty; it sets the filters and removes the cache.

I don't know if there are different ways to accomplish this goal, but the approach seems quite neat to me.

Code: Select all

void openCustomAES(dyn_string dps, int FILTER_PRIO = 0, int FILTER_STATE = 0) {

  /*
    1. Search in the AESScreens' DPs if there is a DP with name = _AEScreen_UI_ + nrUI
    2. If it doesn't exist, create it (copy from another AEScreen DP)
    3. Search in AESProperties if there is a DP with name = AESProperty + nrUI (starting from 9000)
    4. If it doesn't exist, create it (copy from another AESProperty DP)
    5. Set in the AEScreen DP the corresponding property name+nrUI
    6. Modify the filters of the property name+nrUI
    7. Launch AEScreen with the previous configuration

  // 1.
  int NrUi = myUiNumber();
  dyn_string _other_dps = dpNames("*","_AEScreen");
  string AESDP = "_AEScreen_UI_" + NrUi;
  bool aesdp_exist = false;
  for(int y= 1; y <= _other_dps.count(); y++) {
    if(_other_dps[y] == AESDP) {
      aesdp_exist = true;
      break;
    }
  }

  int err;
  if(!aesdp_exist) {
    if( !dpExists( AESDP ) )
    {

      dpCopyOriginal( "_AEScreen_0000", AESDP, err );    //copy dp config

  }
