Hi Michael,

if you want to keep that behaviour, then you should not change the self reference link to "NMS".
Instead you should change to

record(calc, "TEST123:CalcTest") {

field(INPA, "TEST123:CalcTest NPP MS")

field(INPB, "TEST123:AoTest NPP MS")

field(CALC, "B<100?(A+1):A")

field(FLNK, "TEST123:AiTest")

field(SEVR, "NO_ALARM")

field(UDF, "0")

}

But it might even be that your problem has nothing to do with the upgrade to 3.15.
If the developer wanted to latch all alarms of the inputs, then he probably provided a mechanism to reset the alarm.
Once you do that, you don't want to have it reset just because you've rebooted.
Therefore you put the SEVR and UDF fields of the calc record into autoSR / bumpless reboot configuration.
If those configuration was not there for a single reboot (that might happen when you upgrade),
then you'll end up with INVALID / UDF alarms in the calc record.
If that was the case then do not change the DB, just set once SEVR=NO_ALARM manually and it'll work as before.

I hope that helped a little?

Cheers
Andreas
