Understand Batch Transfer alarms and events

  • Last UpdatedApr 24, 2025
  • 8 minute read

The following table provides details for configuring the Batch Transfer alarm/event messages.

Note: The messages noted in the table are designated as either alarms that generate identical events or as simple events. In all cases, you can customize the message text and, where applicable, adjust the alarm severity. To update the alarm/event message, refer to the msgInfo table row for the Alarm Message Identifier of interest. For more information on configuration using the msgInfo table, refer to Volume 1 of the RealTime Administrator documentation.

Alarm/Event Message

Alarm/Event Message Configuration

Alarm Severity Configuration

Type

Start ticket validation failed for Batch Transfer <Batch Transfer Name>. The next pending ticket does not have an Action Sequence.

BATCHXFER_VALIDATION_FAILED_NEXT_TKT_ACTION_SEQ

This occurs when the Batch Transfer ticket fails to start because it does not have an associated Action Sequence. Your Administrator has required that an Action Sequence be associated with this batchXfer record before the ticket can be started.

Base Message

Alarm & Event

Start ticket validation failed for Batch Transfer <Batch Transfer Name>. The Action Sequence <Action Sequence Name> is inhibited.

BATCHXFER_VALIDATION_FAILED_ACT_SEQ_INHIBIT

This occurs when the Action Sequence associated with this batchXfer record has been inhibited. Given that Action Sequences can be inhibited by both Controller and Administrator, you may want to check the associated Action Sequence record to see if it was accidentally inhibited or consult the Administrator.

Base Message

Alarm & Event

Start ticket validation failed for Batch Transfer <Batch Transfer Name>. The Action Sequence <Action Sequence Name> was not found.

BATCHXFER_VALIDATION_FAILED_ACT_SEQ_NOT_FOUND

This occurs when the defined Action Sequence cannot be found in the database. This may be the result of an error in the entry of the Action Sequence name.

Base Message

Alarm & Event

Start ticket validation failed for Batch Transfer <Batch Transfer Name>. There are no pending tickets.

BATCHXFER_VALIDATION_FAILED_NO_PENDING_TKTS

This error occurs when there are no tickets associated with the batchXfer record. To remedy the situation, enter more pending tickets.

Base Message

Alarm & Event

New Schedule is available.

BATXFER_NEW_SCHEDULE

Use the MsgInfo table row identified with the following name:

BATXFER_NEW_SCHEDULE

Alarm & Event

Entries in pending schedule are low : pend= <pending cnt>, limit=<min pending cnt>.

BATXFER_LOW_PENDING_SCHEDULE

Base Message

Alarm & Event

Ticket <BatchID> doesn’t match schedule: vol=<Gross Standard Volume>, sch=<Scheduled Gross Standard Volume>.

BATXFER_TICKET_SCHEDULE_VOL

Base Message

Alarm & Event

Sediment & water percentage of <Value Read from Analog>% from analog <Analog Name> is out of range (0-100).

BATCHXFER_SEDIMENT_WATER_ANALOG_OUT_OF_RANGE

This message is provided when the analog reading for sediment and water percentage is out of range.
