ENM error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Issue
The following error is seen in Monitoring and Diagnostics component of Event Notification Module (ENM):
Product Line
Event Notification Module (ENM)
Environment
Monitoring and Diagnostics (http://localhost:85)
Alarm Sentry (http://localhost:83)
Cause
A wrong expression when setting up Advanced Alarm in Alarm Sentry.
The Evaluate() function in ENM code evaluates the syntax and generates an error if it is not correct. The error message indicates a problem when executing the Evaluate() function.
Resolution
The syntax has to conform to C# and always return a boolean true or false:
if((Double)Source("localhost.ION.OpcDaServer.1.GEN_A.Gen_A_1/Eng Op Mode")==1)
{return true;}
else
{return false;}
