RE: Table Lookup in AlertsHowever, if Table Lookups are something you need

to do via Tcl from the Alerts, let me know and I’ll provide you a

work-around.

As confirmed by Quovadx Support:

When using a Tcl proc in an alert action type of Tcl, the proc will fail

if it contains a table lookup. The same proc will work if it is called with

an exec action. For example, if I have a proc named alert_test that

contains a table lookup, the action {tcl alert_test} with fail with an

“[aler:aler:ERR /0: hcimonitord] Tcl error: unable to load table

‘mytable.tbl'” error, but the action {exec {hcitcl -c ‘alert_test’}} works

fine. This has been confirmed on 5.3 (no revs) — not sure if it is true on

other versions.
