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

The run-time alarm comment language switching feature requires slightly different alarm query syntax. 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 preferred 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 Alarm queries applies.

You can determine if Galaxy_<GalaxyName> has been enabled by monitoring the run-time attribute of the platform ITAlarmProvider.ProviderNameAsGalaxyNameEnabled.
