  The BESSY II light­source has been in op­er­a­tion at Helmholtz-Cen­ter Berlin (HZB) for 25 years and is ex­pected to be op­er­ated for more than the next decade. The EPICS Alarm Han­dler (alh) has served as the basis for a re­li­able alarm sys­tem for BESSY II as well as other fa­cil­i­ties and lab­o­ra­to­ries op­er­ated by HZB. To pre­empt soft­ware ob­so­les­cence and en­able a cen­tral­ized ar­chi­tec­ture for other Alarm Han­dlers run­ning through­out HZB, the alarm sys­tem is being mi­grated to the alarm-ser­vice de­vel­oped within the Con­trol Sys­tem Stu­dio/Phoe­bus ecosys­tem. To fa­cil­i­tate op­er­a­tion of the Alarm Han­dler, while eval­u­at­ing the new sys­tem, tools were de­vel­oped to au­to­mate cre­ation of the Phoe­bus alarm-ser­vice con­fig­u­ra­tion files in the con­trol sys­tems’ build process. Ad­di­tion­ally, tools and con­fig­u­ra­tions were de­vised to mir­ror the old sys­tem’s key fea­tures in the new one. This con­tri­bu­tion pre­sents the tools de­vel­oped and the in­fra­struc­ture de­ployed to use the Phoe­bus alarm-ser­vice at HZB.
