Result Code

Description

Bad_ConditionAlreadyShelved

See Table 137137 for the description of this result code.

The Alarm is already in TimedShelved state and the system does not allow a reset of the shelved timer.

Bad_ShelvingTimeOutOfRange

See Table 137137 for the description of this result code.

Bad_InvalidArgument

The Comment string provided exceeds the allowed length for the comment or is invalid in some other manner.

Comments

Shelving for some time is quite often used to block nuisance Alarms. For example, an Alarm that occurs more than 10 times in a minute can get shelved for a few minutes.

In some systems the length of time covered by this duration can be limited and the Server can generate an error refusing the provided duration. This limit can be exposed as the MaxTimeShelved Property.

If the Comment argument is NULL (both locale and text are empty) it shall be ignored and any existing comments will remain unchanged. To reset the Comment an empty text with a locale shall be provided.
