Alarm query syntax when 'Register Using Galaxy_<GalaxyName>' is enabled

In the WinPlatform object, when you enable InTouch alarm provider, you can enable Register using Galaxy_<GalaxyName> instead of Galaxy. This option will register the platform to the alarm subsystem using the Galaxy name prefixed by "Galaxy_" instead of just the word "Galaxy". This allows an InTouch application to monitor alarms from multiple Galaxies and avoid name conflicts.
Syntax changes slightly when Galaxy_GalaxyName is enabled:
-
Use \\ for computer name.
-
Use \ for Galaxy or Galaxy_<GalaxyName>.
-
Use ! for Area.
For example: \\Galaxy\MyGalaxy!Area001.
If Galaxy_GalaxyName is not enabled in WinPlatform, then the default behavior described in the previous section applies.
You can determine if Galaxy_<GalaxyName> has been enabled by monitoring the runtime attribute of the platform ITAlarmProvider.ProviderNameAsGalaxyNameEnabled.
