Issue
How can thousands of unacknowledged alarms and exceptions be deleted quickly in SIGNAL?
Environment
SIGNAL (all versions)
Cause
Months of unacknowledged alarms and exceptions were allowed to accumulate.
Resolution
The files containing all the alarms and exceptions are located in the SIGNAL\ALARM and SIGNAL\EXCEPT folders respectively.
- Shutdown SIGNAL (all programs).
- In the ALARM folder, delete the alarm_a.dat, alarm_u.dat, and alarm_l.num files.
- In the EXCEPT folder, delete the excep_a.dat, except_u.dat, and excep_l.num files.
- Reboot the computer.
