WEBfactory 2010

Wrong parameter display when raising custom alarm

Description

When raising custom alarms with parameters using the WEBfactory 2010 Serve SDK, if the parameters are delimited by commas, they are not shown correctly in AlarmViewer or AlarmOnline controls.

For example, if the value "3,5,13,51" is added, the value will be shown as “351351” in AlarmViewer control.

Error while displaying the value

Cause

The user that raises the alarm should take into consideration the culture of WEBfactory 2010 .

The ParameterReplacement has the ability to display an alarm value with different number of decimals by specifying a placeholder like: ##1##.2 (displays value 1 with 2 decimals). To achieve this, the value must be converted to a number using the WEBfactory 2010 language:

  • 1,2,3 in English culture is 123

  • 1,2,3 in German culture is 1,2,3

  • 1.2.3 in English culture is 1.2.3

  • 1.2.3 in German culture is 123

Solution

If the value needs to be considered as a string by the application, and not like a number, the numbers should be separated with comma and space:

	param.Add("3, 5, 13, 51");

Spaces used at the beginning and at the end of the value will be trimmed down.
