A&C Tests are run on the next received event (inactive or active, retained or not retained ...). In some of the products used to validate the test scripts the behavior for active and not active conditions is different. E.g. if the server does not maintain knowledge of previously available events and removes the events from its memory when they become inactive (not storing alarms/events internally) then calls using the EventId (e.g. AddComment) will result in a Bad_UnkownNodeId or similar.

The specification is silent on the difference between active and inactive events, so test cases and scripts need to be changed to allow both options or spec needs to be clarified.

This mantis needs to be clone to fix the test script or spec based on discussion outcome.
