ATM Messages Release Notifier
Function presentation
This display notifies the user when some new ATM Messages have been released.
When started, this window will be refreshed on a regular time interval identified by the system property :
- CHMI / ATFCM application / ATM Messages / Release Notifier / Refresh interval
To preserve server performance, the automatic refresh might be interrupted
after a given elapse time of inactivity with no other manual Send query action in-between.
This elapse time is identified by the system property :
- CHMI / ATFCM application / ATM Messages / Release Notifier / Limited auto refresh period
Once interrupted, the Release Notifier window is forced on top of all other windows,
but it will not remain on top when another window gets the focus !
A large button covering all reply data will be displayed with the text
"Click here to restart auto-refresh".
The user may request to retrieve at any time,
latest release information from the CFMU server by clicking the Send button.
This notifier window may be opened automatically when the ATFCM CFMU Human Machine Interface application is started after signon.
This window may only be started once.
Opening the window
From the Application / ATFCM menu, select the option ATM Messages / Release Notifier.
On opening, the latest retrieved stamps are automatically restored from your system properties.
On first opening after application installation, no stamps are available locally.
Stamps are displayed using the DD-HH:MM format.
A stamp may remain blank if no related ATM Messages have been published yet for the corresponding day.
The Server Refresh Stamp indicates when the server retrieved the latest release information (DD-HH:MM format).
Every time this window is re-opened, latest ATM Messages release stamps are retrieved.
These stamps are based on the latest server refresh which happens at regular intervals (currently every 15 minutes).
The user adjustable preference CHMI / ATFCM application / ATM Messages / Release Notifier / Open at startup
allows, when set to TRUE, to request immediate start-up of the ATM Messages Release Notifier
on ATFCM CFMU Human Machine Interface application start.
Displaying the query results
The Server Refresh Stamp contains the time stamp when the server retrieved the latest release information.
If any of the locally stored stamps is later than the newly retrieved stamp:
- The newly retrieved stamp, if available, replaces the previously displayed value.
- The background colour of the line is switched to the Newly released colour user preference.
- The ATFCM - Release Notifier window is forced on top of all other windows
but it will not remain on top when another window gets the focus !
When no ATM message has been released yet for the given day, the corresponding stamp box remains empty.
The different retrieve buttons next to each displayed stamp are only enabled when a valid stamp is displayed.
