Filtering messages by excluding messages

By specifying a file extension or part of a message name with the Message Name Exclude Filter, you can filter messages that you do not want to apply for an application.

Before you begin

An application must be registered with Global Mailbox before you can specify the Message Name Exclude Filter.

About this task

The Message Name Exclude Filter applies to all messages on the application level.

To edit the Message Name Exclude Filter:

Procedure

  1. Open the /<install_dir>/MailboxUtilities/admin/bin (UNIX/Linux) directory or \<install_dir>\MailboxUtilities\admin\bin (Windows) directory.
    Tip: Replace <install_dir> with the directory where your instance is installed.
  2. From the command line, type ./appConfigUtility.sh setEventNotification (Linux® or UNIX) or appConfigUtility.bat setEventNotification command (Windows).
  3. Enter and specify values for the necessary parameters to set the excludeFilter:
    --appID
    The unique ID of the application that is generated at application registration time. The following value is an example for the appID parameter:
    --appID="application id"
    --appName
    The name of the application. This name is displayed in the Application field in the user permissions wizard in Global Mailbox. The appName is ignored if appID is specified. The following value is an example for the appName parameter:
    --appName="application name"
    --adminUser
    Global Mailbox administrator user. Utility prompts for value if not provided. The following value is an example for the adminUser parameter:
    --adminUser=userid
    --adminPassword
    Global Mailbox administrator password. A value for this parameter must be provided if --adminUser is specified. Otherwise, utility prompts for value. The following value is an example for the adminPassword parameter:
    --adminPassword=password
    --excludeFilter
    A regular expression that specifies elements of messages that are excluded for an application. To exclude all messages with the file extension .exe, enter \.exe$:
    --excludeFilter=.exe$
