Reading a Skipped Alarm Property

The Publish and Subscribe framework enables a client to receive notification from the Alarm Server about the skipped alarm.

The value associated with the KMissingAlarmPubSubKey property is a TMissedAlarmPubSubData structure.

KMissingAlarmPubSubKey contains data about environmental changes and whether or not they have resulted in a skipped alarm.

The KMissingAlarmPubSubKey property value indicates if there are skipped alarms.
The subscriber reads the current value of the property to determine if there are skipped alarms. A client more usually subscribes to the property and responds to any changes by calling the ReadSkippedAlarmPropertyL() function.

iValue stores an integer that indicates if there are skipped alarms.

#include <ASShdAlarm.h> // For TMissedAlarmPubSubData etc.
#include <…>
…
void CSkippedAlarmsObserver::ReadSkippedAlarmPropertyL()
    {
    TPckgBuf<TMissedAlarmPubSubData> skippedAlarmBuf;

    User::LeaveIfError(RProperty::Get(KAlarmServerPubSubCategory, KMissingAlarmPubSubKey, skippedAlarmBuf));

    if (skippedAlarmBuf().iValue == 2)
        {
        HandleSkippedAlarmsL();
        }
    }

This example illustrates the steps required to use the property value to establish if there are skipped alarms. Note: The example does not describe the procedure required to subscribe to the property.
