DeltaV Alarms and Event Client application/control to connect to OPC Alarm & Event server

Is there a client application/ control which can be used by DeltaV operate to display current alarms and events provided by OPC A&E server?

  Operate is a direct client to the Alarm subsystem; no OPC intermediary required. There are Alarm Summary controls that can be embedded in to graphics as well.
  Events are a little different, but there is the ability to embed Process History View Event files into Operate.

  Is this applicable to alarms generated within DeltaV? I am referring to the alarms and events generated outside DeltaV. The alarms and events are provided by OPC A&E server (Unicorn OPC A& E server) that need to be displayed in DeltaV. So to display these alarms and acknowledge them in DeltaV, can I configure an alarm display control to connect to this OPC A&E server. I was told by GE that there is a client application available for OPC A&E in DeltaV so want to check if there is any and how to use it?

  Sorry, I realized many hours after I originally responded that you probably wanted the unicorn alarms and events to be managed by DeltaV through Operate.
  I'm not aware of an OPC A&E client for Operate specifically. Emerson does offer the Plantwide Event Historian, which is a client service that integrates OPC A&E servers into a local SQL historian database and provides operator interface through the PEH Viewer Clients, but these are not OPC A&E clients.

  Thanks for your response. Can you clarify if this means only alarms and event history is available for PEH viewer client since it is coming from SQL historian. And runtime alarms and events are not available for display? The requirement is to be able to acknowledge alarms from DeltaV in runtime.
