Incidentally – I *do* have to restart the monitor daemon after making changes to the tcl code.

This was the last piece of the puzzle for me.  Thanks!  I followed all of the tips given by everyone else here, from choosing tclalert as the proc type to making certain that I was returning values properly, but nothing worked… until I restarted the monitor.  At that point, all three versions of the alert I had built started firing off e-mail to me.  Many thanks, again, for your contribution (though I admit to feeling silly for not having restarted it on my own 🙂 ).

Greg – we have seven sites with a bit over 72 processes and who knows how many threads, and use intersite and interprocess threads wherever it makes sense to do so. We route just about every type of message we get this way, usually to help maintain a logical flow and thread grouping, including ADT.

We converted from AIX to Windows about 18 months ago, so I can’t tell you if the practice has any positive impact on the Windows environment, we don’t experience any issues that I can speak of that can be attributed to this type of routing.  We’re currently running 6.1.1, are a 530-bed hospital, and average roughly 13,000 messages daily through our main ADT/orders feed, though total traffic is much higher due to all of the ancillary systems.

I’d like clarification on the answer to Alice’s question, as the same ambiguity exists here as does in the documentation.  What I WANT to achieve is a midnight cycling, keeping a month (or two) of data. I don’t care how big the file gets during the day, I want each day in a self-contained file.  Using file size doesn’t help, because I have hundreds of threads, all with widely varying amounts of activity

We did this previously (CL 5.7 / AIX) with TCL scripts, but I’d like to know if I can achieve with just built-in tools now that we are on 6.1 on Win2008. TIA!

We’ve just put a new 6.0 installation in our dev area.  It does have 2.7 included; we’re experimenting with migrating now (from 5.7 R2), but have only just started.  I’ll post how fast we move along as I get an idea.  We’re moving from an AIX environment to a Red Hat server, so we’re physically moving things from one machine to another.
